Politics, theory and practice
Article Abstract:
UK local government and planning policy were debated in Exeter, England, in summer 1995. Sue Essex, an urban planner and head of Cardiff City Council, is concerned about the reorganization of local government in the UK. Central government is increasing control of both policymaking and financial affairs of local government but other than that there appears to be little rationale behind the changes. Other issues tackled at Exeter included conservation and planning.
