ABSTRACT
This book has been, in part, exploratory. It has provided a novel space for discussions about the ways in which ethics plays a part in research in planning. It is in the nature of an edited collection, and in some ways one of its strengths, that contributions travel in various directions from their initial starting point of the editors' brief. This allows for a breadth and diversity of thought which a single-authored text would be very unlikely to have. In this chapter we do not attempt summaries of key points from chapters, nor do we impose an artificial pattern on them. We do no more than draw out some themes and issues which have emerged in the book, as a basis for future discussion.
