About the Book

The book is a collection of previously written texts on topics related to urban development and planning. The main scope of the book chapters is to address theoretical and empirical studies related to urban planning and development processes in developed and developing worlds. The scope of the studies is to bring professional planning and development debates that would enhance the skills and experience of relevant urban actors such as city councils, planning consultancy firms, developer companies, and other local community organisations. The texts include theoretical debate about the theoretical understanding of urban context and space, along with the discretionary and regulatory planning systems, followed by comparative interpretative analysis to address the impact of digital planning on spatial justice.
