Volume 2 of Dialogues in Urban and Regional Planning has been released by Routledge in cooperation with the Global Planning Education Association Network. Edited by Professor Bruce Stiftel, together with Vanessa Watson of the University of Cape Town and Henri Acselrad of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, Dialogues 2 features 12 urban planning research papers authored on six continents, originally in four languages, and nominated by nine planning school associations, and seeks to expand access to regional planning scholarship. The papers discuss planning issues of economy and urban place; environment and conservation of heritage; planning processes and the nature of decision making; the development of planning ideas; transport; and gender; each from a different planning scholarship perspective. The editors' introduction proposes directions to overcome regional isolation in planning research. Reviews of Volume One are posted to the book's web page.
