A practical survey of how local authorities in England and Wales gain and use power over housing, roads, lands, and town planning.

This edition focuses on the legal framework shaping urban development and public works.

The author combines analysis with concrete guidance on who can do what, when, and how. It explains the key Acts that expanded central and local powers, and how these rules affect planning, housing schemes, roads, public grounds, and related public services. Though firmly grounded in law, the book also shows how these powers are put into operation in cities and rural districts.

Outlines the principal housing, town planning, and public works powers shared by local authorities
Summarizes recent Acts that shifted authority to the Ministry and central government, and what that means for local action
Describes how land, compensation, and public utilities are handled under the law
Explains the roles of county, borough, urban district, and parish authorities in practical terms

Ideal for students, professionals, and officials working with local government, urban planning, or public housing policy.
