A deep exploration on how questions of time and its organisation affect planning practice, this book is aimed at public and private planning practitioners, national and local politicians and policymakers involved in planning, academics and students studying planning and related disciplines.

The authors demonstrate the many benefits of slow planning for the key participants, multiple interests, and planning system overall.
