Abstract:

British planning is in the midst of a period of turbulence and is undergoing, many consider, an attempt by government to transform the system and the way it is operated along neoliberal lines. This may therefore be an opportune moment to encourage greater questioning about the state of UK planning. In an effort to stimulate some reflection on the contribution that academia has made in recent times the authors conducted a preliminary review of UK planning research output since 1997. The review sought to gauge the level of left-critical engagement within the literature and the results are discussed below as one small step towards raising wider questions about how to uncover the bases for a more progressive planning.
