Each of the above PDF Papers contain a range of academic and professional sources referenced in the text. I am by no means claiming this is a definitive literature review, but believe it is quite comprehensive in terms of the Planning Culturally discussion.
I also include a citation list below with details of the full range of articles and books I have reviewed in preparing the Discussion Papers and hope the list will be of value to other researchers or students who explore the site and invite further suggestions of relevant literature which can be contributed through the contact page.
