Planning for Mental Health Care: A Reconsideration of Public Facility Location Theory

Michael Dear

Department of Geography McMaster University Hamilton, Ontario L8S 4K1 Canada

This paper suggests that a critical reassessment of the theory of public facility location is long overdue. A comprehensive theory should contain three standard analytical components: location as access; location as externality; and definition of the policy context for public facility planning. Recent empirical research on mental health facility location is used to illustrate the significance of these analytical themes.
