Working Together: A Guide for Planners and Housing Providers funded by the Royal Town Planning Institute (RTPI) and others in 2000-2001.
Overview
The study looked at the relationship between planners and housing providers and how that relationship might be improved through a range of better working practices. The project culminated in the production of a good practice guide and book, both of which were widely cited in policy and practice circles.
