Abstract

England is undergoing systemic deregulation of the way in which the built environment is managed. This grand experiment is based on ideological rather than evidential foundations, and the results seem to unpick learning about planning, land and land values. This paper briefly explores the changes and their relationship with Peter Hall’s progressive agenda for sociable cities.

Keywords: Planning; land values; cities; social justice; deregulation; democracy
