Thinking Spatially

Planning as a profession has integrated spatial thinking into its decision-making; planners aim to look beyond individual policies and decisions in order to take a broader and longer-term view. This helps them to decide between often competing interests (for example, regarding the use of land). The same could be true for other areas of public policy.

This Planning Horizons project considers how thinking spatially could help policymakers to make better judgements about how individual policy proposals interact with and affect the development of places as a whole.
