Tim Marshall is Reader in Planning at Oxford Brookes University. He has researched regional planning in Britain and other European countries since the late 1990s and is joint author with John Glasson of Regional Planning (Routledge, 2007). Most recently he has researched the planning of major infrastructure, under an ESRC-funded fellowship.

"The book chronicles valuable experience at a time when regional spatial strategies (RSSs) face abolition with the reform of the planning system. It includes a scene-setting introduction, in-depth essays by experts in various aspects of regional planning and conclusions that draw useful lessons."
