Notes

1. Harvey's Urban Land Economics (1992) offers a good starting place for those trying to understand the traditional approach to land use planning. Hall's Urban and Regional Planning (2002) serves a reader looking for a mix of the history of planning in the UK and discussion of core concepts and approaches to land use planning.

2. In addition to the references in the book, I suggest the following to students interested in developing a deeper understanding of Marxist thinking on land use planning: Harvey (2001), Harvey (1999) and Merrifield (2002).

3. For students who want a detailed explanation of market-led approaches to planning with historical examples see Beito et al. (2002); see also Corkindale (2004).

4. For those interested in reading more about complexity theory for the social sciences see, Urry (2003).

5. Allmendinger refers to Hayek in relation to neoliberal planning, but for those interested in Hayek's views on knowledge, and his belief (along with Habermas) that scientific knowledge is only one form of knowledge in society, I recommend: Hayek (1949) and Hayek (1978).

6. Krugman's oeuvre does not sit comfortably under the ‘neoliberal’ label; and while Krugman's and Schelling's work may be seen as in line with systems and rational theories of planning, it could be argued it is aligned with complexity theory (discussed in Chapter 8).

7. I discuss their work in relation to regeneration in Dickinson (2007).

8. The text in brackets was added by me.
