Abstract: A vital process in achieving a systematic knowledge of a subject concerns the development and refinement of classifications of the content of that subject. This is equally true whether the subject is readily quantified or not; though, in this latter case, as for example in the study of policies, there will be additional methodological problems to be faced. Moreover, in the urban context, there is only a short history of work on which to draw. This paper describes current research which is seeking to develop a policy classification framework for strategic land-use policies. Some potential criteria for classification are identified and methodology for developing a typology from documentary evidence is explained. In addition, the work involves a notation for policy classification, by means of which comparative urban policy study can be carried out. The paper concludes with a brief examination of findings which have emerged following the application of the approach to six British Structure Plans, together with a discussion of the potential of the classification concept.
