Analytical public-choice planning theory

Article Abstract:

Michael Poulton's paper on public choice theory in planning, published in the Town Planning Review, vol 68, during 1997, is good starting point in the study of planning but it fails in the way it dismisses other theories on land use planning. Poulton refutes the theories of Coase and Pigou yet many of their ideas are integral to public-choice planning theory. Their theories relate well to the experiences of planning practitioners. All three theorists contribute to a greater understanding in the role public choice in British planning practice.
