Professor Allister Scott

 

Allister Scott is Professor of Spatial Planning and Governance at Birmingham City University. As part of his conversation at the New Optimists Forum on food he argues that if food is to be grown locally – like edible Todmorden or edible Eastside – the planning system needs to adapt to that.
