Town & Country Planning Journal (Trading Places Columns) 2012-2018

In late 2012 Anne Findlay and myself took over from Professor Cliff Guy as the Trading Places columnists in the Journal of Town & Country Planning, published by the TCPA. We provide below scanned copies of our columns, but you are strongly advised to look at the full journal each month (our columns are quarterly) as it is an excellent read. Details are provided in each scan and can also be found at http://www.tcpa.org.uk/

Six years have now passed and we have decided to call it a day and pass the baton over to others. Our final column in May/June 2018 attempts to summarise the issues we have tackled over our 22 previous columns.
