Audience

Urban and regional planners and all those wishing to build and assess their knowledge of the topic.

Learning method

A vexatious subject and one covered in some detail in this knowledge builder. Additionally a range of further reading and appropriate websites is provided for those who wish to become expert in the subject. Includes voluntary self assessment for recording continuous professional development (CPD).
