Christopher Maidment

Lecturer in Planning, Real Estate & Planning, Henley Business School

Chris is a chartered member of the Royal Town Planning Institute, having started his career in municipal government, working in on the development of planning policy.
At the core of Chris’ interests is understanding the relationship between normative theories of planning and the practice environment; both how theory should shape practice and how practice should influence the development of useful theory. Chris has explored this link through research that has ranged from understanding the role played by civic societies in planning, to decision-making around sustainable drainage systems, to the influence of planning organisations and their institutional arrangements on effective practice.
