Planning for the people

Article Abstract:

Gordon Brown's key message in his pre-budget statement was that Britain's modernisation depends on the modernisation of the economy. His message suggests that the planning system will be near the top of the political agenda but society may suffer from from Labour's commitment to competition. Richard Lambert of the British Property Federation says that planning regulations and competition are as much social policies as economic ones. Sustainable planning requires a balance between the economic and social consequences of planning.
