Spatial planning and Governance. The case of Brazil by Roberto Rocco

On my way to a conference on urban history in Catania, I came across a very insightful article by my colleague from Delft, Roberto Rocco. Spatial planning is not enough. Research is not enough. It is in the interaction between governing bodies and research and design practices that the real problems of cities can be addressed. Thanks Roberto.
