Placing the practice of urban design in its political, economic and cultural context, this book sets out a clear and positive vision of the potential of urban design, and in particular its capacity to bring imagined futures into being for the benefit of the many.

This work argues that new ways of "doing governance" need to be linked to new ways of thinking about space, place and territory. It discusses ways of understanding space and explores, in an international context, some of the ways of engaging in governance processes by spatial planning systems.

This book sets out to find out how and why social space is subdivided in this way and to explore the nature of each realm as defined by spatial and symbolic boundaries.
