Making Strategies in Spatial Planning—Knowledge and Values

What is it about?

I opened the book titled Making Strategies in Spatial Planning—Knowledge and Values and found an exciting compendium that challenged the current intellectual spatial planning apparatus and mind set. The book provides an impetus to a more creative, proactive, enabling, flexible and strategic way of thinking about the theory and practice of spatial planning in the tempestuous environment of the contemporary world, driven by structural developments and challenges.

Why is it important?

A mix of feelings crossed my mind when I decided to embrace the challenge of writing a book review for the European Planning Studies Journal. I started slightly fearfully, because of my “young” intellectual trajectory in the planning field. Nevertheless, I was passionately enthusiastic about doing it with an open mind and critical thinking. As a planner, I agree that thinking in new ways to address challenges is the cornerstone for territorial development and spatial transformation.
