It covers important themes in contemporary spatial planning discourse, including the evolving meaning, scope and purpose of spatial planning globally; the scales of spatial planning (i.e. national, regional, sub-regional and local); multi-level integration within spatial planning; public participation; the interface between urbanization, sustainable growth management and spatial planning; spatial planning and housing development; integrated spatial development and transportation planning; and spatial planning and the urban informal economy. Intended for undergraduate and graduate students, and academic researchers and practitioners/policy-makers in the multidisciplinary field of spatial planning, it appeals to readers seeking an international perspective on spatial planning systems and practicesSummary: The Concept of Spatial Planning and the Planning System -- Spatial Planning in Ghana: Historical Origins and Evolution -- Contemporary Planning Systems and Spatial Planning at the National Level -- The Inception of Regional Spatial Planning in Ghana -- Spatial Planning at the Local Level and Development Management -- Policy Integration in Spatial Planning: Mechanisms, Challenges and the Way Forward -- Public Engagement in Spatial Planning: Contemporary Practices and Prospects for Improvement -- Spatial Planning Tools for Sustainable Urban Growth Management -- The Spatial Planning System and Housing Development: Prospects and Approaches -- Transitions Towards Sustainable Urban Transportation: The Role of Spatial Planning -- Spatial Planning and Climate Change -- Concluding ThoughtsPPN: PPN: 1038690862Package identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-2-EES | ZDB-2-SEB | ZDB-2-SXEE
