Furthermore, the book covers a wide range of topics, including spatial and locational modelling, fiscal approaches to redistribution, regeneration and renewal, and transport and infrastructure financing. A particular focus is placed on contemporary issues such as climate change, environmental limits to economic growth, sustainability and resilience, and affordable housing.

To enhance the practical application of the material, the book introduces practical evaluation tools and appraisal techniques. It also provides a comprehensive look at property and planning with respect to macroeconomic objectives, policy, and new directions.
