It argues that books remain essential for making broad arguments, shaping discourse, and positioning authors within debates, while book reviews serve to contextualize and evaluate these contributions rather than merely summarize content. The piece highlights the evolving publishing landscape, noting the roles of university presses, trade publishers, and mass-market outlets in producing planning-related titles that appeal to academics, practitioners, and the public. It also emphasizes that well-crafted reviews can influence the planning agenda by synthesizing insights and drawing out implications for research and practice. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Editorial src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
