- Abstract:
This commentary considers the Building Research & Information special issue (volume 43/4) entitled 'Closing the Policy Gaps: From Formulation to Outcomes'. Although the call for papers received an international response, the special issue has a focus on cases of policy-making and outcomes in the UK. A critical review is presented addressing several questions for the international research, consultancy and policy-making communities. What can these international communities learn from the presented examples? How do variations in governance regimes and structures influence policy formulation and outcomes, particularly the reduction in policy 'gaps'? What future steps could be taken to produce more internationally oriented comparative research on policy-making and implementation regarding the built environment and urban-regional development? How can evidence and analysis be used to build theory? Do the research and consultancy communities need to improve their policy literacy? What lessons can the research community, in particular, learn from this process in advising on policy formation and implementation processes?; This commentary considers the Building Research & Information special issue (volume 43/4) entitled 'Closing the Policy Gaps: From Formulation to Outcomes'.
