Issues are explained with reference to relevant background information, practical issues and problems posed.
The book is supported by current case studies, and there is learning material - with model answers - for students and lecturers to use for group work.
Each topic - e.g. law, economics, property development - is structured in the same way: headline - the big issues and important questions; background - historical, legislative, technical; practical problems and solutions; discussion points; case studies; sources of information/further study.
