ABSTRACT

Graeme Evans in his chapter calls for the embedding of cultural planning in mainstream planning systems and in the education and training of planners and related professionals. He also recommends a planning that considers the whole of a population and the full diversity of culture’s manifestations. These recommendations follow from his recognition of the limitations associated with the many ‘toolkit models’ for cultural planning of the recent past that have so often proved to be ‘time-limited’ in nature and from the growth of a micro-level approach to place-making and strategic policy-making which in the UK, Europe, Canada and Australia includes the concomitant use of external consultants.
