The breadth of the topics covered in this book will appeal to all those with an interest in urban and regional planning, providing a springboard for further debate and research. The papers focus particularly on themes of inclusion, urban transformation, metropolitan planning, and urban design.

Reviews of Dialogues 2:
"There is a freshness here in exploring the complex congnitive and behaviourial relations in land-use planning and spatial planning arenas of engagement in what are very difficult times."- Greg M. Lloyd in Housing Studies 23(2, 2008)
"...the book is to be commended as a means of emphasising and demonstrating the value of consideration of research and practice in other global contexts, and also in taking and uncompromising approach to addressing the insular nature of much research."- John McCarthy in Urban Research and Practice 1(1,2008)
Reviews of Dialogues 1:
"Dialogues in Urban & Regional Planning meets its objective in impressive fashion....The overwhelming result is a book that is international in scope and one that fills a significant void in the planning literature by providing, in a single source, scholarly work that would be otherwise unattainable on so widespread a basis." -Christopher Cusack in Regional Studies. (2006)
"We can take this collection of articles, therefore, as a milestone in planning scholarship...." - Shlomo Angel. in Journal of the American Planning Association (2007)
