A collection of essays on reforming the planning system for the 21st century

This collection of essays is published alongside Policy Exchange’s report Rethinking the Planning System for the 21st Century. It brings together economists, architects, urban designers, campaigners, developers, lawyers and researchers to consider how the planning system can be reformed in a way that addresses the challenges of our modern economy and society.

Each of the essays considers a different part of the planning system and each author has a different perspective on what needs to change. What unites them all is agreement that there is an urgent need for bold reform.
