Is Thatcherism Dead? The Impact of Political Ideology on British Planning

Andy Thornley

director of planning studies at the London School of Economics and Political Science; A.Thornley{at}lse.ac.uk

During the 1980s planning in Britain was conditioned by Thatcherism. I explore whether the ideological influence continued into the 1990s, after Thatcher's 1990 resignation. The case for a significant change rests upon three dimensions—a greater stress on environmental issues, the resurrection of the development plan and new participatory forms of urban policy. I also explore a case study of London and discuss the implications of the "New Labour" goverment. I conclude that there was a significant weakening of Thatcherism during the 1990s, although the basic approach was retained. Uder Blair, however, a new ideological framwork with an emphasis on consensus signals a fresh approach.
