Edited by Louis Albrechts, Research Unit of Planning and Development and Department of Architecture, University of Leuven, Belgium<i>âThe book provides a very refreshing way to deal with the politics of plan making and plan implementation. Interesting stories of planners successfully making a difference through political insti- tutions make this book an engaging read for academics, practitioners and students, and therefore it is highly recommended.â</i>
- Anubandh Hambarde, Town Planning Review,
<i>âThe book makes important contributions in a number of ways, from a deeper understanding of the âblack boxâ of explicitly political decision-making in multiple sociopolitical contexts to heartening stories of the ways in which planning skills and expertise can be useful in navigating the intricacies of the political sphere.â</i>
- Christopher Maidment, Planning Theory,
<i>âI urge planning academics, students, and practitioners who are convinced of the crucial role planning can and should play in good governance and who are committed to making full use of the discipline in the production of a just and equitable society to read this book.â</i>
- Wes Grooms, Journal of the American Planning Association,
<i>âThe volume is a very accessible and engaging journey into the inner wonderings of prestigious planning scholars facing the daily challenges of policymaking. The book reveals the original ways in which expert planners have dealt with these dilemmas.â</i>
- Federico Savini, Planning Theory and Practice,
<i>âI recommend this book to those seeking to understand better how planning theory influences planning-related decisions and how planning practice is brought in planning education through plannersâ experience. Evans and Cvitanovic (2018) claim that many academics wish to support policymaking but may not know where to start; </i>Planners in Politics<i> provides a sound and detailed starting point for planners.â</i>

A must read for those who want to understand how to establish trust between Politicians and Planners which is essential for effective practice.â</i>
