Dear all,
With apologies for cross-posting.
The University of Sheffield's Department of Urban Studies and Planning is offering this fully-funded ESRC White Rose Doctoral Training Centre Collaborative PhD Studentship, in collaboration with the Town and Country Planning Association:
Social town planning 2.0: Reconnecting planning, people and place in an ex-industrial community
Following on from the Town and Country Planning Association’s 2013 report ‘Planning out Poverty’ and its subsequent ‘Planning4People’ campaign, this studentship offers an exciting opportunity to build on the radical and progressive traditions of both community development and town planning to help outline and explore the knowledge, practices and policies that would support a reinvigorated ‘social town planning’, that is, a more engaging, more socially-oriented community planning approach that would put the concerns, hopes and aspirations of ordinary people back at the heart of planning. Very much conceived as an action research project, the research will be principally focused on two broad questions: how do we get planning to care about people and how do we get people to care about planning?
Please feel free to circulate this advert through your networks. For informal enquiries, please contact Dr Lee Crookes ([log in to unmask]).
