On the basis of the hopelessness of improving the governance of managerial and political planning initiatives, planning theory has been reduced to a generic sociological debate on planning itself; a debate that freezes planning as a permanently declining engagement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo oppose this, the present book aims to identify the essential guidelines of a re-launch of planning processes and techniques, configuring a kind of neo-discipline, called ‘planology’ by the author, which builds upon a multi-disciplinary integration (never seen and experimented with until now) of economic, environmental, and sociological approaches, a crucial element missing in previous unsuccessful planning attempts. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2010-10-21\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9788847015609\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-88-470-0696-6\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 126\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Milan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50149028036748,"sku":"9788847015609","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9788847015609.jpg?v=1779569658","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9788847015609","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
