Patsy Healey OBE FBA FAcSS (née Ingold; 1 January 1940 – 7 March 2024) was a British urban planner.[1] She was professor emeritus at Global Urban Research Unit in the School of Architecture, Planning & Landscape, at Newcastle University.[2] She was a specialist in planning theory and practice, with a particular focus on strategic spatial planning for city regions and in urban regeneration policies. She was Senior Editor of Planning Theory and Practice journal, jointly published by TandF and the RTPI.

She was the daughter of the mycologist Cecil T. Ingold.[3]

Research interests

[edit]

She undertook research on the preparation and implementation of development plan frameworks, on how planning strategies work out in practice and on partnership forms of governance at the neighbourhood, city and city region scales.[1] Over the years, she developed approaches to collaborative planning practices, linked to an institutionalist analysis of urban socio-spatial dynamics and urban governance, with books on urban governance and on strategic spatial planning in Europe.
