Question

Write a precis that should be one third. It should follow the pattern of a precis in which you shorten the original text keeping its original flow intact. Do not just copy paste two or three lines from the original.

Town planning has always contained a mixture of components, some of which such as economic and political elements, cannot be categorised as purely 'social' or indeed physical' in nature. Planning is a political process, informed by a range of ideologies (cf. Kirk, 1980; Healey, 1991: Montgomery and Thornley, 1990). Urban social theory, which influences social planning, is seldom neutral. Planning is inevitably 'political" because it is concerned with land and property, and the allocation of scarce resources. It has therefore been scrutinised by those concerned with understanding capitalism and class and power structures within society. Social town planning has frequently been associated with the Left', be it in the policies of the Greater London Council at its height (GLC, 1984) or as part of full-blown Eastern European statc socialism, but planning has attracted interest from those right across the political spectrum Second, at the implementatory level, the planning process is a political activity because it is concerned with the allocation of scarce resources, the planner being seen as acting as urban manager or social policy- maker (Simmie, 1974). Third, the planning process is extremely political at the local-area-plan level, where community politics and grass-roots activity thrives, as will be illustrated by various case studies​
