{"product_id":"grotton-revisited-planning-in-crisis","title":"Grotton Revisited","description":"\u003cp\u003eSome thirty years ago the small Metropolitan County of Grotton found itself bathed in the bright glare of publicity as \u003cem\u003eThe Grotton Papers\u003c\/em\u003e lifted the lid on the inner workings of the six planning departments of this hitherto little remarked corner of England.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe intervening years have seen Grotton's County Council aim at the admirable and mostly achievable target of becoming \"average with moderate prospects of remaining average\" in the Government rankings, and the struggles of the District Councils to come to terms with planning in the late twentieth – let alone twenty-first – century are once again under the spotlight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe original authors of \u003cem\u003eThe Grotton Papers\u003c\/em\u003e have come together once more to offer an experienced and surprisingly unjaundiced look at the way the British planning system works. Their comprehensive survey allows real lessons to be learnt from what Grotton has – and just as importantly hasn't – done since they were last in town.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eGrotton Revisited\u003c\/em\u003e is without doubt the finest (and indeed the only) satirical book on this vitally important subject. It is suitable for planners of all ages and abilities, and will be essential reading for anyone who has ever had contact with the planning system, or thinks they may know someone who has. First class entertainment and education for professionals and general readers alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePublished in association with the RTPI.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54174818763096,"sku":null,"price":235.6,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780415546461.jpg?v=1777705229","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/grotton-revisited-planning-in-crisis","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
