520			_aResearch Design in Urban Planning: A Student’s Guide is a brilliantly accessible guide to designing research for that all-important dissertation. Aimed at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels, this text will: discuss research design, outlining the stages of the research process in clear detail and the key decisions which need to be taken at each stage, explain to students how to re-interpret policy issues as researchable questions, appropriate for investigation, look in detail at how researchers make their choice of methods, helping students to justify their own decisions, reveal the ethical dimension to such decisions in the context of a growing requirement for the ethical approval of student projects and review the issues for comparative studies – important not least because of student involvement in Erasmus programs and AESOP workshops. Packed with case studies, exercises, illustrations and summaries, Research Design in Urban Planning is an invaluable resource for students undertaking their first substantial, individual investigations.
