Bridging the gap between policy and practice The latest edition of the RTPI’s journal Planning Theory And Practice (volume 16, issue 4), is out now. In the editorial, Robert Upton argues that planning encompasses a wide range of practices in different political, social, environmental, economic contexts. Following this, Campbell and Zellner look at how the complex systems underlying human settlements (i.e. their social, biological and built infrastructure) generate wicked problems such as neighbourhood effects, and tensions between individual and collective interests, and how planning can use the tools of complex systems to tackle these wicked problems.
