Drawing on the author's own extensive experience of planning practice at all levels, this major new text reflects on the skills needed to do the job and how these might be developed. Planning practice skills are divided into seven broad clusters which are introduced, analyzed, and then tested through self-assessment case studies and exercises.

Skills for Planning Practice

Richard H. Schneider

With a comprehensive analysis, this book links theory, evidence and practical application to bridge gaps between planning, design and criminology. The authors investigate connections between crime prevention and development planning with an international approach, looking at initiatives in the field and incorporating an understanding of current responses to the growth of technology and terrorism.

Crime Prevention and the Built Environment

Richard H Schneider

Crime and the fear of crime are issues high in public concern and on political agendas in most developed countries. This book takes these issues and relates them to the contribution that urban planners and participative planning processes can make in response to these problems. Its focus is thus on the extent to which crime opportunities can be prevented or reduced through the design, planning and management of the built environment. The perspective of the book is transatlantic and comparative, not only because ideas and inspiration in this and many other fields increasingly move between countries but also because there is a great deal of relevant theoretical material and practice in both the USA and the UK which has not previously been pulled together in this systemic manner.
