LSE Regional and Urban Planning Studies

🛠️ Help shape the future of planning in England by taking part in the Pluralism in Place survey, led LSE Oram research fellows Liz Williams and Meg Hennessy.

📚 This study explores how professionals across the built environment sector engage with different types of value – from economic and environmental to social and cultural – and how we can better navigate the tools used to define, measure, and balance these priorities.
These tools include both value frameworks, which provide guiding principles for decision-making, and value measurement tools, which help assess the impacts of projects across their lifecycle. The researchers aim to establish an inventory of value-based tools: to better understand how they influence practice and how we might work towards more effective approaches for managing trade-offs in planning and development.

🕒 The survey takes around 10 minutes, and all participants will be entered into a draw to win a £100 AllforOne Giftcard.

Pluralism in Place: Navigating Competing Values in the Built Environment This survey will examine how practitioners navigate value-based tools: how they aid or impact decision-making and how we might work towards more effective frameworks for managing competing trade-offs.
