Integrating Policies, Plans and Programmes in Local Government: An Exploration from a Spatial Planning Perspective

Local Government Studies, 2014, vol. 40, issue 3, 473-493

Abstract: Local government bodies are increasingly attempting to integrate different functions and departments in the production of policies, plans and programmes. Despite this interest, a general lack of conceptualisation around integration currently exists, presenting difficulties for local government practitioners to pursue such integration. This article reports findings of an ESRC PhD case study into integration in local government, and presents a conceptualisation which seeks to resolve these outstanding issues surrounding integration. These findings are particularly apt given the ongoing changes to local government in England.
