Contents Introduction -- Conceptualizing redistribution in planning -- Planning for redistribution in practice -- Conceptualizing recognition in planning -- Planning for recognition in practice -- Conceptualizing encounter in planning -- Planning for encounter in practice -- Conclusion
Summary "Planning theory and practice has engaged increasingly in recognising the diverse needs of social groups. This builds on past and continuing efforts to emphasise redistribution in the provision of better access to services and facilities for all. More recently, planning theory and practice have taken up questions of enhancing interaction and contact between city dwellers. This important new book showcases and compares these three social logics for planning cities - redistribution, recognition and encounter - theoretically and practically in a range of contexts." -- Publisher description
