  • Editing Planning Perspectives

    Open AccessP J LarkhamARTICLEPlanning Perspectives2026

    This brief paper tells the story of the first 40 years of Planning Perspectives, albeit principally from possibly the most biased source: the recollections of the surviving Editors. However, this insider view gives a unique perspective on the journal’s development. It presents an interesting trajectory of growth and change, mirroring the wider changes in academic publishing through those decades: from limited opportunities to publish in planning …

  • Planning policy and morphological approaches for urban block regeneration integrating local architectural form – the cases of Warwick and Worcester

    Caixia Gao, P J LarkhamARTICLEPlanning Perspectives2026

    Historic cities face significant problems including the loss of historical character, rehabilitation of old blocks, the lack of attractive spaces, and poor dialogue between old and new plots and architectural forms. Regeneration and vitality – appropriate uses – for urban blocks could promote human interaction, integrating tradition into modernity by retaining and adapting local architectural forms and continuing to serve people's needs, which ar…

  • Challenges and Opportunities in Collaborative Cross‐Sectoral (Healthy) Urban Food Environment Planning

    Open AccessVeronica Barry, Claudia Carter et al.ARTICLEUrban Planning2025

    The need to manage change in local food environments is increasingly evident in local government policies, including the demand for an integrated and “whole systems” approach. Land‐use planning is often used as a mechanism to promote health—both in the creation of healthy environments and the regulation of unhealthy food environments—for example, through facilitating urban food growing and managing the location and number of unhealthy food outlet…

  • The relationship between urban form and land-use regulation in China

    Caixia Gao, Hai Lu et al.ARTICLEUrban Morphology2024

    Urban form is shaped by numerous factors interacting across various social strata, notably influenced by the dynamics of economic development and urban policy. Urban planning policies related to land use play a vital role in the change and management of urban form. In this context, this study examines the influence of land use regulations on urban form in China, using Nanjing as a case study. We investigate relevant urban planning policies at nat…

  • Planning the Smart City With Young People

    Open AccessSimeon Shtebunaev, Silvia Gullino et al.ARTICLEUrban Planning2023

    Young people are often seen as “future citizens” and therefore relegated to a back seat in the planning process, awaiting their coming of age. Recent digital transformations in planning have brought new consultation processes but also created a digital divide and conflicting agendas. This article engages with youth, specifically teenagers, a heterogenous community stuck between childhood and adulthood, assumed to possess the necessary digital ski…

  • The post-war reconstruction planning of London

    Open AccessP J Larkham, David M AdamsARTICLEPlanning Perspectives2023

    The replanning of London following the Second World War is, in many ways, a familiar story. However it has often been told in fragments, usually prioritizing the best-known plans and the involvement of Professor Patrick Abercrombie. This paper positions the replanning more widely, considering a hierarchy from region to specific locales, and the problems of fragmented planning within such a structure. It explores issues of agents, agency and autho…

  • Revisioning and Rebuilding Britain’s War-Damaged Cities

    Open AccessP J Larkham, David M AdamsARTICLEUrban Planning2022

    This article presents an overview of Second World War bomb damage to British towns and cities and a systematic evaluation of the relationship between damage, revisioning, replanning, and actual reconstruction in a sample of cities—Bath, Birmingham, and Hull. Two were severely affected by aerial bombing as port/industrial targets, and the third for propaganda purposes as a historical city. Two had extensive plans produced by eminent consultants (b…

  • Planning history and everyday urban change

    P J LarkhamARTICLEPlanning Perspectives2022

    Jeremy Whitehand died suddenly in June 2021 just short of his 83rd birthday. He was a world-leading figure in urban morphology and his disciplinary home was urban geography, but he was a founder-member of the Planning History Group (forerunner of IPHS). This appreciation explores his work and the centrality of a planning history perspective in his approach to studying urban form. In retirement he was making headway in introducing this research-ba…
