The new focus should be on the drivers of liveability for all households: grounded local services like housing, utilities, health and education; the mobility infrastructure of transport systems; and the social infrastructure of parks, libraries and the high street.聽 More participative place-based policies on these infrastructures of everyday life will need expert support and planning could here play a new and important role especially in the articulation of citizen needs for land use and in the taxing of the unearned increment in land values.聽 聽聽聽
