Toni Logan presents a rigorous and authoritative examination of the frameworks, policies, and competing interests that have shaped Victoria's urban landscape, tracing the evolution of planning systems from their legislative foundations through to the practical realities of land use, infrastructure, and regional development. The work situates Victoria within the broader context of Australian urban policy, arguing that the decisions made at state and local levels carry profound consequences for social equity, environmental sustainability, and economic vitality.\n\nPart of the respected Studies in Australian Society series, this volume reflects a scholarly tradition of grounding policy analysis in real-world outcomes, bringing both academic rigour and accessible clarity to a field often obscured by bureaucratic complexity. Logan's analytical style is precise and authoritative, drawing on legislative history, case studies, and comparative frameworks to illustrate how planning decisions ripple outward into communities. For students of public policy, urban geography, and Australian governance alike, this work raises a question that remains as urgent today as when it was first published: who truly decides the shape of our cities, and in whose interest?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49203368460507,"sku":"2026200013343-SECONDHAND","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/3e983995-ac73-425c-9101-700c33ff19ef.png?v=1788148011","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200013343-secondhand-urban-and-regional-planning-in-victoria","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
