Title: The Neoliberal Agenda and the Changing Urban Form of Istanbul 
Abstract:
	      In the new era of competition among cities - globally -
 Istanbul has become once again the focus of Turkey's economic development
 effort. The dissolution of the Soviet Bloc and the growth of economic and
 cultural linkages between the Turkic-speaking states, plus the turbulent
 dynamics of the Middle East, have created a new macro-regional
 environment. There is no other major city centre to compete with Istanbul
 in a vast area stretching from the Balkans to the Caucasus, the Ukraine to
 Lebanon. Istanbul's size, history and location meant it was bound to play
 an increasingly prominent role as regional trade, networks and incomes
 became more interconnected. Although Istanbul is not the formal capital of
 Turkey, it is far and away Turkey's largest and most important urban
 concentration. As such, the Turkish state has allocated it central role in
 its vision for economic and cultural transformation. This paper traces the
 footprints in Istanbul of the unfolding 'project' of Turkish integration
 with the world economy. Following a brief outline of the history of the
 city since the nineteenth century, it focuses on recent attempts to
 reposition the country in the global arena, and highlights their
 ramifications for the urban form of Istanbul.

Title: The Role of Global City Discourses in the Development and Transformation of the Buyukdere-Maslak Axis into the International Business District of Istanbul 
Abstract:
	      Globalization has been the dominant discourse in political
 and academic circles and is a particular explanation for changes in the
 world's economic, political, cultural and spatial structures and a bias
 policy prescription. It suggests that the world economy has been
 transformed as a result of evolutionary change in the capitalist economy
 and technological developments, particularly in communication, information
 and transportation. This discourse claims that the globalized economy has
 reshaped the spatial organization of the world. It has also been claimed
 that global economy has been organized over the global cities that manage,
 control and command the global economy. They are the centres of economic
 wealth and social and technological progress. During the past 30 years,
 politicians, professionals and academicians have been inspired by the
 global city concept, which has resulted in fierce competition among the
 large cities of the world to achieve global city status. Istanbul, like
 its counterparts, has been a competitor during the past three decades. Its
 economic, social, political and spatial structures have subsequently
 changed to a profound extent. This article aims to explain the spatial
 transformation of the city and focuses on the international business
 district of the city in the Buyukdere-Maslak axis. It aims to show that
 the spatial transformation of the city is the outcome of a wider political
 project, globalization, which has been constructed in the local areas
 through economic, political and cultural processes by deploying certain
 discourses. These discourses have been translated by the elite groups into
 economic and urban policies, which have shaped the spatial structure of
 the city.

Title: The Impact of Neoliberal Policies on Historic Urban Space: Areas of Urban Renewal in Istanbul 
Abstract:
	      The state's role in recasting urban space in Turkey entered a
 new phase during the last decade. The key difference compared with the
 past is that the inner city has now become the main source of capital
 accumulation. Interventions based on the rationale of clearing away
 obsolescent urban space to encouraging capital accumulation by private
 investors have led to the loss not only of local incomes but also of the
 cultural capital of local inhabitants. In addition, historical urban
 housing areas are no longer seen as 'common public assets' and designated
 renewal areas are not viewed as society's common cultural capital. This
 paper focuses on restructuring policies in historical urban spaces in
 Istanbul, as authorised by the Law on Renewal enacted in 2005. This law
 essentially defines the designation of renewal areas, instructions for
 preliminary and application projects, and the processes of organization,
 management, supervision, participation, and use. The paper critically
 analyses the ways local municipalities have made the use of the new legal
 framework on the basis of four case studies from Istanbul; namely,
 Sulukule, Tarlabasi, Suleymaniye and Fener-Balat renewal areas.

Title: Urban Regeneration and Hegemonic Power Relationships 
Abstract:
	      This paper aims to analyse the growing power of the urban
 coalition that has become dominant after the 2000s in Turkey. It is
 observed that the actors of the central and local governments as well as
 the authorities of important state institutions have become part of this
 coalition with the same hegemonic neo-liberal discourse especially related
 to urban transformation driven by the motive of increasing urban land
 rents and real-estate development. This discourse and the accompanying
 implementations have also been strongly supported by the private-sector
 actors, such as developers, land owners, advisors, professionals, and the
 leading media. The power of this coalition has been enhanced by means of
 changes made in current laws and enactment of new laws as well as the
 increasing initiative of particular state institutions, such as the Mass
 Housing Development Administration (TOK&#x130;) and Privatization
 Administration. This paper also aims to discuss the spatial implications
 of the top-down decisions given by this powerful coalition especially in
 Istanbul, a city that poses to be a complete laboratory reflecting the
 ongoing trends in the economic and political spheres and a clear picture
 of the changing socio-spatial structure. The vision of the city as a
 centre of international finance, service and tourism appears to guide the
 new urban policies after 2000. As a result, the importance of urban areas
 that have high rent-gaining potential has increased, leading to a growing
 pressure on squatter housing areas and the historic urban centres
 populated by the urban poor.

Title: Bulldozer Neo-liberalism in Istanbul: The State-led Construction of Property Markets, and the Displacement of the Urban Poor 
Abstract:
	      Istanbul is undergoing a radical and dramatic restructuring
 as the authorities seek to bring about a 'Neoliberal Modernisation' of the
 city. This centres on the promotion of market-oriented rationality, and
 private property. Current plans envisage restructuring huge swathes of the
 city to bring about functioning land and property markets. The resulting
 threat to residents and communities has provoked widespread but sporadic
 resistance. This paper sets the pressure for the social 'purging' of
 Istanbul in the context of the global spread of Authoritarian
 NeoLiberalism. After describing the main features of the Turkish variant,
 and noting the parallels to autocratic rule in late Ottoman Istanbul, it
 traces the impact on local communities. Three cases studies of responses
 to regeneration plans, drawn from both the European and Asian sides of the
 city, reveal the diversity of local responses.

Title: Family Solidarity and Place as Components of Hospital Provision in Istanbul: The Dependence of Public Healthcare on Culture and the Local Economy 
Abstract:
	      In Istanbul, public university hospitals exemplify the
 importance of urban social networks in the structuring of economic
 activity. The involvement of patients' families in care-giving on hospital
 premises is essential to the efficient functioning of the health service.
 This paper illustrates the vital role of cultural and social factors,
 especially kinship relations and informal networks, in shaping the urban
 built environment at the local level. The paper shows how family
 solidarity is a precondition for the successful functioning of a major
 city hospital in Istanbul, and how this affects the economic character of
 the built environment around the hospital. The paper employs a relational
 approach to highlight to key processes at work.

Title: Food Security for China's Cities 
Abstract:
	      Urban food supply will be a key issue for cities in the
 coming decades, and cities will increasingly turn to their own hinterlands
 for some types of food. Many of China's cities are better placed to do so
 than comparably sized cities in developed countries, although some inland
 cities will fare better than wealthy, export-dependent coastal cities.
 However, rapid urbanization is putting increasing pressure on previously
 agricultural districts around these cities. We illustrate using data on
 local food supplies in Chengdu, Nanjing, Shanghai, and Shenzhen, and draw
 some conclusions about planning for food security in China.

Title: Regulation of Farmland Conversion on the Urban Fringe: From Land-Use Planning to Food Strategies. Insight into Two Case Studies in Provence and Tuscany 
Abstract:
	      In the literature on urban sprawl, few studies have looked at
 possible connection between effective protection of agricultural land and
 urban or community food strategies. Our case studies in Provence and
 Tuscany show that planning prescriptions and land-market control are
 insufficient to protect farmland on the urban fringe if regulatory
 approaches are not integrated into a global strategy for agriculture and
 food based on community involvement. Farmland protection policies are more
 effective if they combine top-down policies with bottom-up initiatives and
 if they recognize the multifunctional character of urban agriculture,
 especially with processed goods such as wine or olive oil.

Title: Municipal Food Strategies and Integrated Approaches to Urban Agriculture: Exploring Three Cases from the Global North 
Abstract:
	      At a time when the majority of world's population live in
 urban areas, the role of cities in addressing food system vulnerabilities
 is vital. One response has been a renewed focus by local governments in
 the global north on a host of individual food system issues. Still lacking
 are comprehensive municipal food strategies that take a coordinated
 approach to the food system as a whole. A municipal food strategy is an
 official plan or road map that helps city governments integrate a full
 spectrum of urban food system issues within a single policy framework
 including food production (typically referred to as urban agriculture
 (UA)), food processing, food distribution, food access and food waste
 management. This exploratory article examines factors that may affect the
 capacity of local governments in three global north cities to develop and
 implement their respective food strategies. It goes on to ask whether food
 strategies may enable UA, as the part of the food system that to date has
 garnered the most attention in both research and practice.

Title: Convergence in Diversity: New York City School Food and the Future of the Food Movement 
Abstract:
	      In the context of a global food system that has given rise to
 widespread concerns for food security and sustainability, reformative
 efforts have emerged, expanded and multiplied worldwide. To enhance
 understanding of the multi-faceted nature of this food movement and its
 scope for convergence and consolidation, in this article we propose frame
 alignment and alliance-building as a theoretical and analytical framework.
 Using New York City as a case study, we explore how school food reform may
 act as a particularly powerful platform for coalescing the interests and
 goals of diverse food system actors. We conclude with a call to
 interrogate school food and other reform activities with specific
 attention to the opportunities they pose for finding 'convergence in
 diversity' - in other words, for aligning the diverse and often fragmented
 efforts of the 'food movement' around an integrated and shared agenda with
 heightened potential for impact.

Title: Food Policy Development in the Australian State of Victoria: A Case Study of the Food Alliance 
Abstract:
	      This article explores the development of a food policy body
 called the Food Alliance and the role of the organization in encouraging
 the development of food policy that integrates health and ecological
 issues. The Food Alliance is located within the Australian state of
 Victoria. A policy triangle is used as a framework to describe and analyse
 the work of the Food Alliance. Lessons are drawn about effective
 strategies for influencing integrated food policy. This occurs in a
 context where food policy typically favours powerful industry and
 agricultural interests and where relationships between the health and
 environmental sectors are in their infancy. The implications for planning
 and organizing a state-wide food policy are explored from the perspective
 of policy and the ways in which this can be influenced through working
 with key stakeholders.

Title: Cultivating Food Connections: The Toronto Food Strategy and Municipal Deliberation on Food 
Abstract:
	      This paper shares an exploratory case study of the
 development of the Toronto Food Strategy as an urban food strategy,
 through the lens of public health. It asks: what is a food strategy and
 how does it work? We will answer these questions through an analysis and
 discussion of the Food Strategy development process and attention to three
 key mechanisms: (1) <italic>framing</italic> or directing attention to the
 diverse policy instruments that deal with food, (2)
 <italic>brokering</italic> working relationships between diverse
 stakeholders and across existing governance arrangements, and (3)
 <italic>leveraging existing resources</italic>. We also distinguish the
 work of the Food Strategy from the role of food policy councils in how
 they cultivate deliberative spaces to catalyse policy change.

Title: Urban and Community Food Strategies. The Case of Bristol 
Abstract:
	      How can a city influence the food system? The first step is
 to understand how the food system operates and how the different elements
 are interconnected. The second is to understand the strengths and
 vulnerabilities in relation to food system sustainability and longer-term
 resilience. This article looks at how Bristol is exploring these
 challenges and how it is attempting to both inform and involve citizens
 and city decision makers by providing a holistic framework from which to
 develop a resilient food plan. At the heart of this challenge is finding
 effective mechanisms to bring together the right stakeholders to plan and
 implement change.

Title: Economic Crisis as a Catalyst for Food Planning in Athens 
Abstract:
	      In the light of the current Eurozone crisis, an increasing
 number of Athenians from all walks of life are forced to cut spending on
 staple goods, such as food. Food poverty in the context of a European
 metropolis is the result of inadequate households' income, as well as
 limited choices of sourcing food in the city due to food retail sector
 consolidation. Corporate retailers have been criticized for greed and
 unethical pricing practices. The current crisis can be seen as a catalyst
 for change, a turning point of the homogenized food geography of Athens.
 Food poverty is one of the most remarked signs of the urban crisis. The
 time has come for the Athens Municipality to assume a leading role in
 urban food planning and formulate a Food Policy Plan for the city.

 business agendas and the power and influence of business interests have
 been somewhat under-developed in recent planning theory. In this paper we
 adopt a distinctive approach to theorizing business interest
 representation and business-state relations based on a
 strategic-relational approach. This seeks to establish an explicit focus
 on the dynamics of business-state relations, a standpoint of particular
 salience to planning and planning theory. It also offers distinctive
 theoretical perspectives regarding questions of business power and the
 evaluation of business influence, as well as informing contemporary
 debates around the engagement of business in planning processes. These
 insights hold significant potential in extending understanding of
 governance dynamics and the realities of planning politics and practice.

Title: Transforming South Africa's Divided Cities: Can Devolution Help? 
Abstract:
	      Little progress has been made since 1994 to alter the
 fragmented structure of South African cities and to create more liveable,
 functional and sustainable places. Indeed the segmented form of urban
 development seems to have become further entrenched with recent patterns
 of settlement growth on the periphery. The paper presents new evidence for
 the inefficient and inequitable spatial layout of cities and examines some
 of the main reasons for the lack of substantial change. These include
 inertia, economic forces and weak spatial management. In the light of
 this, it proceeds to assess the prospects for current attempts to devolve
 additional responsibilities to city governments for planning and managing
 the built environment. It argues that there is potential for more
 integrated city-level decision-making to bring about a shift in approach,
 provided municipal leadership and technical capabilities are also
 reinforced, and national government works in partnership to provide
 appropriate support.

Title: The Creative City and the Redevelopment of the Toronto Entertainment District: A BIA-Led Regeneration Process 
Abstract:
	      This paper analyses the conceptualization phase of the
 Toronto Entertainment District regeneration initiative, as a project led
 by the local Business Improvement Area Association. We study how the
 creative city concept is applied in the context of regeneration, and why
 stakeholders use it to legitimate regeneration strategies embodied in a
 Master Plan. We relate this analysis to the governance arrangements for
 this case study. Our main conclusion is that the creative city concept
 translates strongly in the place-making aspect of the project, and serves
 the objective of a specific set of stakeholders to enhance the identity of
 the area and foster the attraction of new residents and businesses.

Title: Old Boys Down Home: Immigration and Social Integration in Halifax 
Abstract:
	      Canadian cities are active competitors in the process of
 recruiting immigrants to help them increase diversity, improve their
 economies, and stimulate population growth. This study of Halifax, a small
 city in eastern Canada, suggests that some features which make the
 city-region attractive for inter-provincial migrants - such as the easy
 pace of life, perceptions of homogeneity, and tight social networks -
 affect the ability of international migrants to integrate in the
 community.

Title: Planning for Countering Climate Change: Lessons from the Recent Plan of New York City - PlaNYC 2030 
Abstract:
	      Despite a growth in the number of cities currently planning
 with an eye toward countering climate change and its effects, few actually
 promote a comprehensive planning approach aiming at countering climate
 change impacts. The aim of this paper is to assess and to gain insight
 from the emerging approach to planning that aims at countering climate
 change. This paper analyses and draws insight from the recent plan of New
 York City (NYC), <italic>PlaNYC 2030</italic>, through a thorough
 examination and analysis of the major components of the plan. This paper
 concludes that planning has a strong role to play in countering the
 impacts of climate change at the city level. Apparently, climate change
 and its resulting uncertainties challenge the concepts, procedures, and
 scope of conventional approaches to planning, and create a need to rethink
 and revise current planning methods. PlaNYC, an economic development and
 infrastructure-oriented plan, has deficient and inadequate adaptation
 measures. Therefore, it failed in its contribution to protect NYC and its
 communities in facing Hurricane Sandy in October 2012. Since the plan did
 not have adequate public participation, PlaNYC failed in understanding the
 urban-community vulnerability map of NYC and in addressing the critical
 needs of various communities in facing Sandy. Eventually, planners should
 take on a leadership role and assume more control in fighting climate
 change on the city level. Planning has the power to protect cities and
 save lives of people.

Title: Avenues into Food Planning: A Review of Scholarly Food System Research 
Abstract:
	      This review summarizes several avenues of planning inquiry
 into food systems research, revealing gaps in the literature, allied
 fields of study and mismatches between scholarly disciplines and the food
 system life cycle. Planners and scholars in associated fields have
 identified and defined problems in the food system as 'wicked' problems,
 complex environmental issues that require systemic solutions at the
 community scale. While food justice scholars have contextualized problem
 areas, planning scholars have made a broad case for planning involvement
 in solving these wicked problems while ensuring that the functional and
 beneficial parts of the food system continue to thrive. This review maps
 the entry points of scholarly interest in food systems and planning's
 contributions to its study, charting a research agenda for the future.

Title: Epistemology of Space: Exploring Relational Perspectives in Planning, Urbanism, and Architecture 
Abstract:
 <title>Abstract</title>In this special issue, we start from the
 proposition that space, its uses and transformations are multi-significant
 and that their study requires an interdisciplinary approach. However, the
 elaborate division of labour in the sciences has also led to the
 compartmentalization of knowledge about space in different disciplinary
 fields with their associated, often idiosyncratic concepts, methods, and
 theoretical approaches. As a result, there is no shared conceptual system
 of space and different disciplines mobilize very different conceptions,
 perceptions, and experiences of space, often leading to mutual
 misunderstandings and incomprehension, also on the same terms (e.g. social
 space, urbanism). The development of a shared and interdisciplinary
 platform for the analysis of space, its use, and transformation is a way
 to address conceptual confusion. This special issue on the 'Epistemology
 of space: exploring relational perspectives in planning, urbanism and
 architecture' aims to contribute to the creation of such platform where
 relevant questions, concepts, theories, and methods will meet and
 ultimately synergize into an interdisciplinary relational understanding
 and analysis of space, its uses, and transformations.

Title: A Transactional Perspective on Space 
Abstract:
 <title>Abstract</title>This paper draws on philosophical pragmatism,
 especially the work of John Dewey, to develop a transactional perspective
 on space. Transaction suggests co-constitutive, ongoing relationships
 between humans, non-humans, objects and environments (relationships which
 are in process and on a continuum, rather than sharply distinct) that
 involve dispersed rationalities attuned to different situations. I suggest
 how ideas of spatial quality might be both the medium and the outcome of
 these more dispersed rationalities in transactional space. The paper
 explores the connections between the idea of transactional space and the
 existing body of research on social learning, deliberative planning and
 urban design.

Title: On Analysing Space from a Strategic-Relational Institutionalist Perspective: The Cultural Park for Children in Cairo 
Abstract:
 <title>Abstract</title>Recent contributions to strategic spatial planning
 theory claim to develop a relational perspective on planning and space. In
 this paper, we explore this perspective further from its origins to the
 ways in which it conceptualizes various aspects of space. We focus on
 strategic-relational institutionalist (SRI) theory and introduce the
 Cultural Park for Children in Cairo as a case to question the relational
 perception and conceptions of space, and spatial strategies of different
 actants, spatial representations and frames. We conclude by indicating how
 a SRI approach may contribute to a greater understanding of the spatial
 dynamics of actants and their institutional frames and argue for the
 inclusion of more pluralist conceptions of space in planning processes.

Title: Space as Receptor, Instrument or Stage: Notes on the Interaction Between Spatial and Social Constellations 
Abstract:
 <title>Abstract</title>Acknowledging the need for a shared scholarly
 paradigm capable of explaining the interaction between spatial and social
 constellations, this paper presents a model which identifies three
 important ways to conceptualize this interaction: space seen as receptor,
 as instrument or as stage. The paper reviews the relevant literature from
 architectural history and theory, positioning it within a broader
 framework that also addresses material from anthropology, sociology and
 cultural geography. It points to similarities and parallels, but also to
 divergent sensibilities and contrasting understandings, which together
 make up a rich matrix of theoretical positions.

Title: Pragmatism and Research by Design: Epistemological Virtues and Methodological Challenges 
Abstract:
 <title>Abstract</title>This article reflects on the methodological
 capacity of the field of knowledge and expertise called spatial design in
 pursuing spatial quality. The aim is to analyse the methodological aspects
 of the field and its heuristic processes understood as research-by-design.
 Research-by-design has an encompassing attention to space through two
 related and complementary vocations: interpretation and transformation of
 our environment. The article argues that a research-by-design process is
 characterized by creative-abductive reasoning. Abduction fits the
 analytical logic of pragmatism, which is understood as a social philosophy
 of collective action and knowledge-building. Because of its focus on
 co-production and social learning, and its use of abductive reasoning,
 research-by-design offers a powerful inter- and transdisciplinary
 methodology for exploring transformative capacities and achieving spatial
 quality, the article argues.

Title: Researching Space, Transgressing Epistemic Boundaries 
Abstract:
 <title>Abstract</title>Innovation may be triggered by crossing the lines
 that delineate the fields of spatial knowledge and practice. Transgressing
 epistemic boundaries could bring about the possibility of new approaches
 to researching and transforming space. This paper identifies three
 interrelated types of epistemic boundary, and critically explores how they
 may be crossed. Set by definitions of the disciplinary subject matter,
 concepts, and practices, these boundaries may be crossed, respectively,
 through relational ontology, meta-disciplinary paradigms, and dialogic
 practices. These crossings, however, have problems of their own. Epistemic
 practices are both cognitive and social, and need to be addressed through
 dynamic and democratic multiplicity.

Title: Building a Meta-Framework to 'Address' Spatial Quality 
Abstract:
 <title>Abstract</title>Spatial quality is a contested notion due mainly to
 its uneven conceptualization and methodological translation across fields
 in which space is a key concern. This article presents the building up of
 an inter- and transdisciplinary methodological meta-framework to analyse,
 assess and work towards spatial quality. It explains the thematic
 cross-reading of spatial quality across three fields (social innovation in
 territorial development, strategic spatial planning, urban design). By use
 of a relational approach connecting seven dimensions of spatial quality
 and its making, and building on the symbiotic strengths of the three
 fields, it formulates a meta-theoretical framework as the central piece of
 a coherent joined-up methodological guide to address spatial quality.

Title: Remaking of Central Sydney: Evidence from Floor Space and Employment Surveys in 1991-2006 
Abstract:
 The global city discourse and the neoliberal urbanism in the literature on
 transformative central cities in contemporary globalization provide
 partial explanation and present theoretical limitations. This study makes
 a theoretical 'cross-fertilization' of globalism and neoliberalism to
 construct an integrative analytical framework, and applies it to Central
 Sydney. Using the data from a series of floor space and employment surveys
 in 1991-2006, this study systematically examines the functional changes in
 Central Sydney from the lenses of industry divisions and space use
 divisions. The empirical findings reveal new insights into a trend of
 strengthening capacity of the knowledge services and the experience
 services, and increasing living and amenity spaces in Central Sydney;
 applying the integrative analytical framework sheds light on the
 functional changes in association with the exogenous factor of Sydney's
 emergence as a global city and the endogenous factor of neoliberal
 strategies and planning.

Title: Moving Beyond 'Community' Participation: Perceptions of Renting and the Dynamics of Participation Around Urban Development in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania 
Abstract:
 This paper employs extensive interviews to examine the ways in which
 perceptions of renting - on the part of renters, owners and other key
 actors in the development process - influenced the dynamics of
 participation around two recent urban development projects in Dar es
 Salaam, Tanzania. The study responds to concerns that participatory
 planning too frequently treats communities as homogenous and overlooks
 barriers to participation faced by marginalized groups, such as renters.
 The results show that renters were unwilling and often unable to
 participate due to perceptions, held by themselves and by others, of
 renter transience and inconsequentiality. These perceptions led to a cycle
 of non-participation in which policymakers gave renters' needs little
 attention in plans and renters were disinclined to participate in
 mobilization. The results suggest that barriers to renter participation
 could be reduced if their concerns were proactively given more weight in
 urban development plans.

Title: Planning for Social Inclusion? What Planners from Glasgow, Melbourne and Toronto Say 
Abstract:
 Drawing on interviews with planners implementing metropolitan plans for
 Glasgow, Melbourne and Toronto in 2005 and 2006, this article examines the
 extent to which planners can effectively plan for social inclusion. It
 assesses their views in the context of 'actual existing neo-liberalism',
 concluding that while some believe in its importance, planning for social
 inclusion is not often realized in practice. Why this might be and how it
 could be accomplished is then considered.

Title: Two Tails of Housing-led Urban Regeneration Policy Network: The UK and South Korea 
Abstract:
 As the previous service delivery mechanism initiated by government is not
 desirable anymore, institutional agency on behalf of government is
 necessary to intermediate public and private interests through policy
 network. The focus of this study is to identify the role of different
 intermediate agencies of Cardiff and Seoul within policy network towards
 sustainable community building through housing-led urban regeneration. It
 was identified that the policy network of Cardiff was a horizontal network
 administration organization-type issue network, which favoured
 inclusiveness, sequential legitimacy and stability with a private-like,
 bottom-up relational role and a wide coverage of functional role. The
 policy network of Seoul was a hierarchical, lead organization-type policy
 community, which favoured efficiency, internal legitimacy and stability
 with a public-like, top-down relational role and a narrow range of
 functional role. Finally, it was suggested that housing-led regeneration
 should be networked effectively through the better role of intermediate
 agency.

Title: Power in Dreams? The Spatial Effects of Chicago's Failed Olympic Bid 
Abstract:
 <title>Abstract</title>Plans change the world in subtle ways, through
 persuasive power with reframing effects, that precede their actual
 execution. We empirically tested this persuasive power, taking a failed
 Olympic bid as a case. Bidding entails making very detailed plans for
 sites and infrastructure that are not easily forgotten, even when another
 city is picked to organize the games. We chose Chicago to test whether a
 plan, despite being unsuccessful in the sense of not being executed, might
 still change a city. We sought spatial change that was caused by the
 Olympic plan. The study limited itself to effects on infrastructure,
 zoning, real estate ownership, and governance structures. Few lasting
 legacies, however, were found, warranting a discussion on what the
 conditions are to allow for a plans' persuasive power.

Title: The Dark Side of Aeromobilities: Unplanned Airport Planning in Mexico City 
Abstract:
 <title>Abstract</title>Land-use conflicts, noise and health problems,
 local air pollution, decreased urban quality and affected liveability are
 considered amongst the core impacts and consequences associated with
 global airports, all of which have largely been individually documented.
 Through a case study of Mexico City International Airport (MCIA), this
 article argues that a more integrated focus that brings such various
 issues and perspectives together is needed in order to widen the
 understanding of the existing relationship between socio-spatial and
 environmental effects, increased aeromobility, airport siting conflicts,
 airport urban surroundings and globalization. The present study of MCIA
 suggests that local players and airports are not just passively influenced
 by processes of globalization and aeromobilities, but also that such
 processes disentangle a wide array of socio-spatial and environmental
 consequences that depend on ad hoc local contexts. Hence, the article
 follows the argument that a much stronger focus on the planning process of
 airports is needed at local and regional scales, while a larger debate
 regarding the regulation of increased global aviation ought to be raised
 in national and international contexts.

Title: Positive Planning and Sustainable Brownfield Regeneration: The Role and Potential of Government Land Development Agencies 
Abstract:
 <title>Abstract</title>State governments in Australia increasingly
 outsource the co-ordination and delivery of 'difficult' regeneration
 projects to state-owned land development agencies (LDAs). These LDAs were
 originally established in the 1970s with a strong redistributionist
 agenda, operating mainly to deliver low-cost residential land on
 greenfield sites. In the last 25 years, however, their roles have been
 redirected towards brownfield regeneration and they have been required to
 operate profitably. This paper uses the recent rise and fall of a powerful
 Queensland LDA to examine the potential of 'positive planning' in
 political contexts where governments wish to both limit their involvement
 in planning and achieve sustainable brownfield regeneration.

Title: The Sustainability of an Entrepreneurial City? 
Abstract:
 <title>Abstract</title>The paper applies an urban political ecology
 approach to interrogating the use of sustainability constructs by key
 international governance agencies. We draw on political economy of urban
 sustainability to identify central themes in the reports to reveal
 limitations and contradictions in the deployment of the environmental
 sustainability construct. We argue that the Organisation of Economic
 Cooperation and Development and the World Bank offer little towards the
 development of a new vision for future cities, only affirmation of
 neoliberal urbanism. Promisingly, some of 'key trends' identified by
 UN-Habitat will enhance the democratic content of socio-environmental
 construction. This will achieve a more equitable distribution of social
 power and inclusive mode of environmental production.

Title: Planning for Housing Development in Malaysia: Developers' Response to the Regulatory Policy Framework 
Abstract:
 <title>Abstract</title>This paper unfolds the inherent tension between
 private developers and local authorities in the development process of
 medium- to high-cost housing units in Malaysia. It examines how developers
 respond to the government's regulatory housing policy framework by
 deploying resources and tactics to realize their investment strategies.
 The analysis focuses on the Bumiputra quota policy, the low-cost housing
 policy, the One-Stop-Centre approving system and the review of planning
 guidelines in Johor and Kuala Lumpur which have very different
 socio-economic circumstances. The findings highlight the lack of trust and
 communication between developers and the government in the development
 process and the importance of cultural influence and socio-economic
 contexts on the structuration process.

Title: Sidewalk Informality: An Examination of Street Vending Regulation in China 
Abstract:
 Street vending represents a vital and growing aspect of the urban informal
 economy that is often the subject of municipal regulatory efforts that
 seek to control, confine or extinguish it. In the People's Republic of
 China, recent developments and discussions on vendor rights and regulation
 underscore important socio-political and economic changes and concerns
 around the role of the informal economy in this country. As more of
 China's rural poor enter urban areas and turn to the streets to survive,
 the number of unlicensed vendors has risen and municipal efforts at
 increased regulation and enforcement of street vending licensure have been
 enacted. These developments within the context of China's
 'state-capitalist economy' provide a fertile field for research into the
 informal economy, use and re-appropriation of public space, and regulation
 of a previously marginalized commercial activity. This paper draws from
 primary and secondary sources to provide an overview of street vending in
 China and consider the implications of recent regulatory developments and
 public dialogue that strive to formalize the informal.

Title: Synergising Functional and Environmental Planning for Mega-event Led Urban Renewals and Beyond: Lessons from the Expo 2010 Shanghai China 
Abstract:
 A mega-event-led-urban renewal (MELUR) has been a popular but
 controversial urban renewal instrument worldwide. Adding to the persisting
 difficulty in the post-event uses of its physical legacies is an emerging
 dilemma of initiating spatial regeneration in an environmentally
 degenerated urban setting. This seems especially imperative for host
 cities from emerging economies, while facing the dual pressures of urban
 degradation and regeneration, tend to favour instant image-building
 through flagship construction. The purpose of this study is to propose an
 integrated approach to making an intelligent balance between functional
 adaptation and environmental sustainability in planning an MELUR. It
 presents an in-depth case study of the Expo 2010 Site renewal in Shanghai,
 China. Modelled on the 3R waste management principle, a five-layered
 analytic framework is established. First-hand data were gathered through
 participant observation, field trips and stakeholder meetings. Besides
 drawing constructive lessons from the empirical study, a 5R strategy
 hierarchy is formulated to synergise functional and environmental planning
 for future MELURs and significantly comparable urban renewal initiatives.

Title: Differentiated Urban Citizenship and Housing Rights: Analysing the Social Impacts of Urban Redevelopment in Globalizing Istanbul 
Abstract:
 There is growing interest in the transformation of urban citizenship and
 the changing right to the city of the urban poor under neoliberal
 restructuring of cities in the Global South. This article examines a
 'squatter settlement transformation project' in Istanbul that is intended
 to contribute towards the transformation of Istanbul into a global city.
 The transformation projects are based on private homeownership,
 incorporate the urban poor into a new 'property regime' and allocate them
 differentiated access to housing in the city. Using qualitative data, this
 article traces the unequal outcomes of the project for its displaced
 residents and demonstrates the emergence of 'differentiated urban
 citizenship'. This emergent urban citizenship regime in Turkish cities
 organizes the distribution of substantive housing rights based on social
 inequalities among the urban poor, and thus consolidates and perpetuates
 these inequalities in society.

Title: Aquaculture Development in Scotland: Regulation as a Moving Equilibrium 
Abstract:
 The expanding interest in marine planning and management raises important
 questions for the spectrum of marine, coastal and terrestrial
 environments. The role of state regulation in mediating conflicts over the
 use and development of the marine resource has spatial implications across
 these domains. Governance of the marine represents a very particular
 challenge since it involves a highly complex mix of common, legal and
 customary property rights and sets of defined territorial jurisdictions.
 The Planning etc. (Scotland) Act 2006 and subsequent policy iterations
 have changed institutional and organizational relations. The legislation
 included provisions for the extension of statutory land use planning
 controls to include coastal and transitional waters (i.e. to the
 12-nautical mile limit), meaning that finfish and shellfish farming are
 subject to the terrestrial planning regime. This represents a turn from
 self-regulation to arrangements for state planning controls. This paper
 traces this evolution in terms of a moving equilibrium as both state and
 market have sought to minimize the transaction costs involved.

Title: Impacts of High-Speed Rail on Metropolitan Integration: An Examination of London, Madrid and Paris 
Abstract:
 The original goal of high-speed rail (HSR) was to link large metropolitan
 regions 400-600 km apart. Recently, however, intermediate
 'ex-metropolitan' HSR stations have also been created in suburban
 areas/cities within metropolitan regions (up to 100 km from the
 metropolitan centre). This study takes a close look at nine such
 'ex-metropolitan' stations around Madrid (Guadalajara, Segovia, and
 Toledo), London (Stratford, Ebbsfleet, and Ashford), and Paris
 (Charles-de-Gaulle, Marne-la-Vallée - Chessy, and Massy), to understand
 their territorial and local impacts and draw possible lessons for the
 California High Speed Rail project.

Title: Local Development in Fragile Areas: Re-territorialization Processes in an Alpine Community 
Abstract:
 The article focuses on the relationships between social networks and
 spatial organization in view of the activation of local development in
 'fragile areas', which are territories characterized by geographical,
 economic and social weaknesses. Territory is considered in its
 multidimensional complexity in regard to natural and human-made features,
 phenomena of a physical kind (environment, settlements and infrastructure)
 and others of immaterial nature (knowledge, social relationships and
 imagery) relating to local societies. The methodological proposal stresses
 the role of social capital (and of the connected one of territorial
 capital) in activating local development paths. Local development and
 re-territorialization processes can take place when organizational and
 operational proposals - which devise a future for the community&nbsp;- are
 put forward, taking advantage of the endowment of social capital and at
 the same time enhancing it. A case study is developed on a resurgent
 community in an Alpine region, comparing the development path recently
 activated with those of two territories (a specialized agricultural area,
 and a tourism system) whose successful experiences are based on spatially
 located social networks.

Title: Spatial Planning and High-Speed Broadband: Australia's National Broadband Network and Metropolitan Planning 
Abstract:
 The Australian government is constructing a National Broadband Network
 (NBN), which at an estimated cost of $43 billion will be Australia's
 largest ever infrastructure project. The NBN, if its full benefits are to
 be realized, raises a number of important, but largely unexplored,
 questions for planning. This paper investigates the implications of the
 NBN for Australian metropolitan planning focusing on the question of how
 these plans will exploit the NBN to improve urban outcomes. The paper
 examines the Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane metropolitan areas and
 analyses the strategies shaping the future of these regions during the
 rollout and implementation of the NBN. This comparative analysis reveals
 similarities across these three metropolitan areas in their weak stance
 towards the NBN. Some key findings include: (1) a segregation of
 infrastructure planning and metropolitan planning; (2) a lack of
 consistency between different policies within each metropolitan area and
 (3) policy gaps regarding the role of telecommunications at the
 metropolitan level. Considering the number of governments worldwide that
 are making large investments in high-speed broadband, this paper addresses
 policy issues that will impact upon metropolitan planning well beyond the
 borders of Australia.

Title: Planning, Law, and Property Rights: A US-European Cross-national Contemplation 
Abstract:
 Globalization today encompasses multinational dialogues on the appropriate
 role for planning in mediating relationships between individual and
 community, state and citizen, government and market, and people and
 property. Yet confusion persists as speakers from one country attempt to
 convey concepts different from what listeners from another country hear.
 This paper provides a cross-national contemplation on the sources of that
 confusion, comparing the USA to Western Continental Europe, primarily
 Germany. Americans and Europeans engage fundamentally different worldviews
 in promoting progress while reconciling harms, stemming from different
 philosophical traditions that can be broadly characterized as a Millian
 versus a Hegelian liberalism, respectively.

Title: Minor Cities in a Metropolitan World: Challenges for Development and Governance in Three Hungarian Urban Agglomerations 
Abstract:
 Minor cities represent urban centres on a sub-metropolitan scale which are
 struggling to integrate into competitive city networks characterized by
 intense, worldwide agglomeration processes. Lacking sufficient mass and
 often situated on Europe's geographic or socio-economic peripheries, they
 must balance specialization and diversification agendas, and develop
 effective urban governance to remain viable economic centres. This paper
 investigates ongoing urbanization processes and their effects on minor
 cities, illustrated by three case studies from Hungary. Findings suggest
 that development cooperation and the foundations of 'urban regimes' emerge
 even in small and institutionally weak city-regions, although the content,
 as well as organization of the resulting arrangements exhibit differences
 from the base model.

Title: Primary Cities in Sub-Saharan Africa: Quasars, Loose Connections, and Black Holes 
Abstract:
 Although leading cities in the developed world are converging as world
 cities, cities in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) also experience club
 convergence linked to marginalization and dependency relationships in the
 global economy. These processes are not uniform, however, with a certain
 group of cities fully integrating into the global economy. This study
 analyses a selection of primate cities in SSA, identifying club
 convergence of cities in the subcontinent. A multivariate analysis is used
 to select factors to cluster cities in SSA. The analysis indicates that
 despite the existence of some <italic>black holes</italic> and the
 overwhelming club convergence of cities in SSA to the model of
 <italic>loose connections</italic>, two significant exceptions have
 emerged: 'quasars', i.e. cities that bear features of well-connected world
 cities; and 'resource-dependant cities', i.e. recently emerging upwardly
 mobile cities in resource-rich countries which have the potential to
 converge to cities in the developed world, should adequate economic
 development policies be implemented.

Title: The Growth and Decline of the West Midlands Region: An Integrated Evolutionary Perspective 
Abstract:
 The analysis of economic performance and innovation has undergone a shift
 into both geography and history. The spatial-temporal analysis of the
 region has become an important factor in policy development. The paper
 argues how various integrated analysis frameworks, collectively termed the
 integrated evolutionary perspective, manage the increasing complexity of
 analytical approaches to regional analysis. This is not a unified approach
 or methodology but a unified drive to integrate divergent analytical
 approaches. Applied to the West Midlands region, the paper argues that the
 historical trajectory of regions is a product of both path dependencies
 and hysteresis effects, with dynamical equilibrium evident in a loose
 Kondratievian framework. The region developed due to the combination of
 conducive endogenous factors and absolute advantage was maintained through
 isomorphic transitions. Although the region was challenged by a less
 conducive external environment, regional decline was precipitated by
 internal inefficiencies which continue to affect the region.

Title: Migrant Entrepreneurs as Urban 'Health Angels' - Contrasts in Growth Strategies 
Abstract:
 This paper highlights the importance of migrant entrepreneurs as change
 agents for economic vitality ('health angels') in cities in the developed
 world. The focus will in particular be on transition strategies of
 second-generation migrant entrepreneurs, as their 'break-out' growth and
 risk strategies may lead to a convergence of migrant entrepreneurship with
 mainstream entrepreneurship. The present study will address both the
 driving forces of this 'new entrepreneurship' and the socio-economic
 implications for modern cities. To test the above proposition, a unique
 extensive micro-database is used for a diversified set of migrant
 entrepreneurs in the four largest cities in the Netherlands. Detailed
 information on their risk and growth strategies was obtained from personal
 interviews with these entrepreneurs. The research first offers statistical
 findings from this data-set, and subsequently it uses a multidimensional
 classification tool from artificial intelligence, namely self-organizing
 maps, to identify and present patterns of manifest differences and
 similarities in the migrant entrepreneurs' behaviour and attitudes.
 Finally, a causal econometric model is designed and estimated to assess
 the importance of various behavioural variables and control factors for
 the business performance of the entrepreneurs concerned.

Title: The Evolving Spatial Structure of South African Cities: A Reflection on the Influence of Spatial Planning Policies 
Abstract:
 The need to transform the structure and morphology of South African cities
 remained high on the policy agenda of all three spheres of government in
 South Africa since 1994. The influence of a range of spatial policies and
 planning instruments aimed at achieving more compact urban structures and
 higher densities are evaluated through the application of a range of
 density indicators and models. A number of defining characteristics and
 distinct variations of density models applicable to South African cities
 are identified and compared to the profile of some international cities.
 The results confirm modest increases in densities and changes to urban
 form, as envisaged by spatial policies and plans. The observed patterns
 and changes suggest an emerging trend of more decentralized urban
 structures in South Africa.

Title: Teleworking as a Mobility Strategy for Mexico City 
Abstract:
 Urban spatial mobility and its environmental impact have been attracting
 attention in academic circles, but have not yet fully permeated the urban
 public policy agenda. Proposals to reduce commuting (journeys to work)
 recommended in the relevant literature include controlling land use to cut
 the distance between home and the workplace, inducing modal shift,
 promoting concentration of service activities, time distributing work
 schedules, and teleworking (TW). The purpose of this article is to report
 some findings regarding the implementation of TW based on a survey of
 corporate employees that enter this work modality in the Mexico City
 Metropolitan Area. We provide insights as to the potential impact the
 adoption of TW might have on the city'<italic>s</italic> commuting
 pattern, use of energy, and environmental pollution.

Title: Urban Growth Management Best Practices: Towards Implications for the Developing World 
Abstract:
 The notion of achieving a more compact urban form has gained popularity in
 the debate on the most sustainable urban form, and central to this theme,
 the last century witnessed an evolution of an urban growth management
 discourse, as large cities trial different techniques towards achieving
 more sustainable urban forms. This paper explores the evolution of the
 urban growth management discourse and the lessons learnt thus far to
 arrive at what is considered to be current best practices. The objective
 is to illustrate some of the implications these practices present to
 developing countries and whether international urban growth management
 practice can offer meaningful solutions to developing governments and
 economies.

Title: Dynamics of an Evolving City-Region in the Developing World: The National Capital Region of Delhi Revisited 
Abstract:
 While the differential growth patterns of urban peripheral settlements
 around large cities continue to hold an important place in the urban
 research agenda, examination of regional urban systems from a theoretical
 perspective has received much less attention in developing countries.
 Based on demographic data of 1991-2011, an analysis of settlements in the
 National Capital Region of Delhi, India, reveals mixed spatial forms in
 the periphery of the traditionally monocentric Delhi. Our observation
 raises questions such as whether a polycentric, poly-nodal configuration,
 or a combination thereof, is in the making in the immediate periphery of
 Delhi. This emerging scenario has potential planning implications and
 questions the applicability of the traditional 'Eurocentric' theories to
 the evolving urbanization phenomena in the developing world.

Title: The Peri-urban Land-Use Planning Tangle: An Australian Perspective 
Abstract:
 With increasing urbanization of the world's populations, there is
 increasing concern about land consumption, particularly, urban expansion
 onto non-urban land. This paper identifies current approaches leading to
 this point and argues that these create a tangle requiring a more mature
 approach if land use is to be managed more effectively, especially at the
 peri-urban fringe. The effects of managing peri-urban land under current
 paradigms are demonstrated in case studies of Melbourne and Sydney,
 Australia. The conclusion uses international examples to suggest that
 fresh planning approaches that take an integrated view of land-use
 management in a new paradigm are needed.

Title: Residents Lead: User-Controlled Housing Practices and Attitudes in Poor Communities in Cairo, Egypt 
Abstract:
 It is argued that low-income public housing in Cairo has witnessed
 shortcomings in responding to its inhabitants' needs. The expert-based,
 top-down approach in housing processes, widely adopted in most developing
 countries, including Egypt, is argued to be the main reason for these
 shortcomings. On the other hand, the limited experimental
 institutionalized participatory experiences in Cairo, mainly in the form
 of self-help schemes, were also incapable of meeting many of their goals.
 As an alternative participatory approach, the research discussed the
 experiences and approaches of 'user-controlled housing' processes in which
 it was envisaged that people would build dwellings of types and qualities
 corresponding to their own social codes and cultural behaviour. A
 theoretical model for the main concepts of this proposed approach was
 developed. To test this model, field investigations about the practices
 and attitudes of the low-income residents in Cairo relevant to the
 user-controlled housing processes were conducted and thus a new amended
 theoretical model has been initiated and recommended in terms of proposed
 low-income housing policies in Cairo.

Title: An Examination of Pedestrian Trip Behaviour in Underground Pedestrian Systems 
Abstract:
 Underground pedestrian systems (UPS) that provide alternative walking
 options for pedestrians have been implemented in a considerable number of
 cities across the world. These systems were found to have markedly
 improved the convenience and ease of city life in terms of transport,
 economic activities, and social activities because they appear to be used
 throughout the day by a large number of pedestrians with different
 purposes. China has seen continuous UPS development over the past 30
 years. However, as a relatively new form of pedestrian systems, usage
 patterns of UPS remain largely unexplored. In this research, surveys of
 pedestrians' trip behaviour related to UPS usage in Shanghai were
 conducted. Qualitative and quantitative data were collected and analysed.
 The research indicates that there are a diversity of users of UPS in terms
 of gender, age, education level, employment status and occupation, and
 personal income. Shopping and employment were two main reasons why
 respondents used the UPS. Subways and commerce are two vital factors
 related to UPS usage. These factors provide a functional basis for the
 UPS, and the UPS in turn creates both a catalytic and synergistic
 relationship that reinforces the performance of these factors.

Title: Civil Society Participation in Urban Development in Countries of the South: The Case of Syria 
Abstract:
 This paper seeks to recognize the importance of understanding the current
 formal and informal regulatory frameworks that shape the process of
 land-use decision-making in the countries of the South in order to
 facilitate civil society participation. The case of Syria is examined,
 where analysis was conducted to identify the key social actors and the
 forms of relationships between them. To understand and identify the
 position of civil society in the process of land-use decision-making and
 examine the possibilities to increase its effect within the examined urban
 development governance was a key objective. In addition, the need to
 recognize the capacity needs of social actors and the necessity to develop
 context-based legal frameworks for civil society organizations that
 recognize both the formal and the informal structures of civil society
 were vital. This, however, requires an understanding of the socially
 accepted frameworks that shape the informal relations between society
 actors and also analysing the possibility of institutionalizing these
 relations. Delivering the latter will make it possible to create a
 contextually grounded legal framework that regulates the process of civil
 society participation as a requirement for land-use decision-making.

Title: Planning for the Unexpected: Barriers to Young People's Participation in Planning in Disadvantaged Communities 
Abstract:
 <title>A<sc>bstract</sc> </title>This paper discusses barriers to civic
 engagement of disadvantaged young people that we observed in the course of
 a child-friendly city project in Turkey. It also emphasizes the importance
 of being prepared to overcome such barriers, some of which were quite
 unexpected. Results show that many of the unexpected issues are the
 outcome of poverty, illiteracy, lack of ethics, inexperience of project
 managers, conflicting political interests and sense of insecurity. The
 paper concludes with suggestions for researchers and policy-makers on how
 to overcome such unforeseen barriers to child and youth participation in
 disadvantaged communities.

Title: Pitfalls in Protection: How Theory Can Enrich Our Understanding of Regulatory Compliance Problems in Planning Practice 
Abstract:
 This paper responds to demands for greater academic investigation into
 environmental protection, specifically the practical and structural
 problems which underpin regulatory compliance in the planning system. It
 critiques traditional theories of regulation and answers calls for the
 development of a thematic lens to facilitate the scrutiny of not only
 operational practice, but also the broader institutional regime. An
 empirical investigation builds upon the construct of <italic>really
 responsive regulation</italic> to study planning control and it becomes
 apparent that not only are there significant procedural planning
 difficulties facing regulatory compliance, but also that a much wider raft
 of issues must be considered if the complex equation is to be solved. The
 findings demonstrate how theory can be applied to enrich our rudimentary
 understanding of deep-seated problems and foster insights into areas of
 structural importance which are relevant to both planning and the wider
 regulatory arena.

Title: Planning for Sustainable Transport in Germany and the USA: A Comparison of the Washington, DC and Stuttgart Regions<xref ref-type="fn" rid="FN0000"/> 
Abstract:
 Federal, state, and local governments in Germany and the USA strive to
 make passenger transport more sustainable to combat oil dependence,
 climate change, local pollution, and negative public health outcomes. This
 paper compares the Washington, DC and Stuttgart regions to demonstrate
 differences and similarities between the German and US land-use and
 transport planning systems. To illustrate local planning for more
 sustainable transport, we compare two best-practice examples for
 integrating transport and land-use planning: the Rosslyn-Ballston Corridor
 in Arlington County in the DC metro region and Scharnhauser Park in the
 City of Ostfildern in the Stuttgart region. In spite of significant
 differences in motorization, travel behaviour, sustainability, and
 planning systems, both Arlington County and the City of Ostfildern promote
 sustainable transport using comparable strategies: (1) mixed-use
 development around public transport stations; (2) comprehensive long-range
 plans; (3) citizen participation; and (4) coordinated transport, housing,
 and economic development policies.

Title: Reframing Large Transport Infrastructure Plans: A Study on European Corridors with a Focus on North-eastern Italy 
Abstract:
 The European Union is promoting and investing in large transportation
 infrastructure plans and programmes to enhance transnational accessibility
 and territorial competitiveness. However, the recent crisis has shed a new
 light on the planning and programming of these infrastructures.
 Competition for scarce resources and more sensible public demands force
 decision-makers to better argue and deliver decisions and projects. Italy
 provides an exemplary case of poor planning and policy-making deriving
 from limited visions combined with only tactical and reactive politics.
 For decades, public authorities and project promoters have fostered a huge
 project of high-speed rail development, without appropriate consideration
 of territorial conditions, community demands or downside scenarios, whilst
 benefit overestimation has long hindered investments in other possible
 strategic infrastructures and policies. The current recognition of the
 Baltic-Adriatic as essential among European corridors provides the
 occasion to rebalance discrepancies and reframe plans in Italy. The
 proposed approach aims to reconsider infrastructure planning as a 'wicked
 problem' implying not absolute, but more or less good solutions depending
 on contextual and feasibility conditions and to promote visions based on
 vertical and horizontal subsidiarity, where cities and regions should play
 a strategic role as key stakeholders in the spatial macroscopic
 transformations.

Title: The Change and Transformation of Indonesian Spatial Planning after Suharto's New Order Regime: The Case of the Jakarta Metropolitan Area 
Abstract:
 The fall of the New Order regime has spurred the process of
 democratization and marked the transformation of Indonesia from
 authoritarian rule into a more democratic government. The new system of
 government also spurred the changes in the spatial planning system of
 Indonesia. The system of law and procedure which set the ground rules for
 planning practice in Indonesia during the New Order regime, as stipulated
 in the Spatial Planning Law 24/1992, reflected the authoritarian rule of
 the New Order regime. This law was replaced with the Spatial Planning Law
 26/2007, a more participatory and accountable spatial planning law enacted
 in 2007. The paper examines the extent to which the transformation of
 spatial planning practices has taken place in the Jakarta Metropolitan
 Area after the fall of the New Order regime.

Title: Questioning the Universality of Institutional Transformation Theories in Spatial Planning: Shopping Mall Developments in Palermo 
Abstract:
 Theories about institutional transformation in spatial planning, although
 mainly based on the Anglo-Saxon context, have assumed a dominant role in
 planning research and theory as means to understand the transformations
 that have been restructuring planning systems in recent decades in the
 Western world and beyond. The article, looking at transformations of
 planning practice through the lenses of the concept of planning cultures,
 debates the utility of building 'universal' theories for spatial planning
 and advocates for the need for a de-provincialization of planning
 theories. This is done through a case-study approach applied to the
 history of the transformation of the retail system in a context
 characterized by the specificities of the Italian planning context and
 Southern European cities, namely: the planning processes for, and power
 relationships underlying, the first shopping malls opened in Palermo,
 Italy, since 2009 -- some decades later than most of Western cities.

Title: Researching Local Development Cultures: Using the Qualitative Interview as an Interpretive Lens 
Abstract:
 This paper directs critical reflection on the use and treatment of
 qualitative interviews in researching building and development actors,
 processes and outcomes. Using the case study of New Urbanism in Toronto,
 it argues that norms of self-presentation and impression management
 consciously or unconsciously enacted by development professionals
 (developers, builders, designers, planners) <italic>within</italic> the
 research interview constitute key data that are often overlooked in
 planning and urban development-related research. More often than not, such
 study is geared towards typifying development processes, identifying and
 prescribing industry 'best practices' and evaluating the relative success
 of outcomes on the ground. It is argued here that a finer grained coding
 of interviews with key project-based actors directs attention to the
 hybrid and contingent nature of social roles in development networks and
 processes. This challenges researchers to examine more rigorously the
 identities, strategies, constraints and rationalities of development
 professionals to gain a deeper understanding of their agency in the
 (re)production of urban form and the definition of local development
 cultures.

Title: The Rules of the Game and How to Change Them: Urban Planning Between Formal and Informal Practices. A Colombian Case Study 
Abstract:
 During the last several years a dynamic transformation has been taking
 place at the northern city fringe of Barranquilla, Colombia: shopping
 malls, gated communities and gated tower buildings have been built -- a
 process very similar to other Latin American cities. The aim of this
 article is to reveal the underlying planning approaches and explain the
 role and influence of the private and public actors involved. This work
 contributes to the discussion on formal and informal practices of urban
 development in the global South and shows the blurring borders between the
 'formal' and the 'informal'. The main finding of the analysis is the
 coherence between the interests of the landowning company, the official
 land-use plan and the actually implemented projects. This coherence was
 achieved through the massive influence of private interests in public
 planning and a multitude of informal arrangements between the landowner
 and the public authorities. This form of urban planning is described as
 'arranged urbanism' and stands in a tradition of similar forms of spatial
 development in Latin America. Nevertheless, forms of 'arranged urbanism'
 can also be found outside of the Latin American context.

Title: Claiming <italic>Invited</italic> and <italic>Invented</italic> Spaces<xref ref-type="fn" rid="FN0001"/>: Contingencies for Insurgent Planning Practices<xref ref-type="fn" rid="FN0002"/> 
Abstract:
 Insurgent planning practice is an emerging idea for counter-hegemonic
 urban planning in the Global South, derived (generalized) from empirical
 work on specific southern contexts (Watson, V. 2013. "Planning and the
 'Stubborn Realities' of Global South-East Cities: Some Emerging Ideas."
 <italic>Planning Theory</italic> 12 (1): 81-100.
 doi:10.1177/1473095212446301). In this paper, we position ourselves with
 Meth (2010. "Unsettling Insurgency: Reflections on Women's Insurgent
 Practices in South Africa." <italic>Planning Theory and Practice</italic>
 11 (2): 241-263) who argues that insurgence and insurgent planning
 practices cannot be generalized across contexts but requires specific case
 by case empirical analysis to understand tactics and strategies within
 very different political and institutional situations. This paper is based
 on empirical evidence from two specific case-by-case analysis of potential
 insurgent action in Kathmandu, Nepal. We find that if insurgence is to
 present hope for counter-hegemonic outcomes in the context of Nepal, it is
 contingent upon a maturity of grass-roots organization, sharing of power
 among these, what constitutes 'planning' in insurgent planning and how
 success of such actions is measured. There is also a strong role of the
 nature of social mobilization and the institutional context of planning.

Title: Culture, creativity and commerce: trajectories and tensions in the case of Beijing's 798 Art Zone 
Abstract:
 The use of cultural and creative clusters to achieve a range of
 regeneration outcomes is now common practice in cities world-wide.
 However, clear evidence is lacking on the potential sustainable benefits
 of such approaches, particularly where they would appear to be based on
 planning for the primacy of short-term economic aims often linked
 primarily to consumption-based uses. The case of Beijing's 798 Art Zone is
 illustrative of a creative cluster which has achieved major outcomes in
 terms of city branding and tourism, but which has also suffered from the
 dilution of creative production activity and related effects of
 gentrification. This provides lessons for other cultural clusters in China
 and beyond.

Title: Europeanizing planning education and the enduring power of national institutions 
Abstract:
 It is widely observed that planning education in Europe is affected
 increasingly by various forces of Europeanisation and
 internationalization. While these trends are not regarded uncritically,
 very often commentators treat them as inexorable, or it is assumed that
 individual universities have considerable agency in how they respond.
 However, closer attention to the literature on Europeanisation shows that
 nation-states significantly mediate these processes. This is the focus of
 this paper, which draws on a case study of the creation of an integrated
 multi-country Masters programme in spatial planning. The analysis shows
 that national institutions still exert significant force, at least on the
 structure of the degree programmes that can be created, which universities
 seeking to Europeanize have to negotiate.

Title: India's new globalization strategy and its consequences for urban development: the impact of the 2010 Commonwealth Games on Delhi's transport system 
Abstract:
 Developing nations increasingly seek mega-events in the pursuit of
 globalization. India has recently renewed such aspirations by hosting the
 XIX Commonwealth Games in Delhi in 2010. The purpose of the paper is to
 assess Delhi's urban transport development through a sporting mega-event
 as a globalization strategy for a developing country. Therefore, the
 authors comparatively analyse the transport plans pre-bid (2003) and
 transport legacies (2013). The authors argue that the alignment of the
 mega-event needs with Delhi's urban master plan was partially fulfilled as
 many infrastructural projects were catalysed. However, the Games also
 compelled the city to invest in developments that were required for the
 successful delivery of the Games. This paper contributes to the discussion
 on how mega-events influence urban planning and points out significant
 challenges and opportunities developing cities face when preparing for a
 sporting mega-event.

Title: Telecommunications and transportation infrastructure: inter- and intra-sectoral borders &#x2014; perspectives from Australia and the US 
Abstract:
 A growing body of literature suggests that the segregation of
 infrastructure and urban/regional planning is at the root of contemporary
 problems facing many of the world's metropolitan areas. More recently, the
 introduction of new telecommunication infrastructure highlights the
 invisible borders that exist within critical infrastructure that provide
 advantages to some areas such as transportation and disadvantages to
 others. This paper attempts to understand the nature of inter-sectoral and
 intra-sectoral borders across infrastructure in Australia and the US. It
 examines the sometimes contradicting market-led vs. government-led models
 adopted in the two countries to deliver broadband communications and
 transportation. The findings identify similarities and differences between
 the two countries, and reiterate that in order to achieve social equity,
 and enhance the provision of infrastructure to non-pro&#xfb01;table areas,
 government intervention is required. The paper concludes with a call for
 performance-based policies that go beyond traditional borders in an effort
 to better address the contemporary wicked planning problems.

Title: Making connections and building bridges: improving the bi-national planning process 
Abstract:
 Creating a continental transportation system that supports the efficient
 movement of goods between Canada and the United States is essential to the
 economies of both countries. However, 25 years after the passage of the
 Canada--US Free Trade Act and many agreements and accords later, poor
 connectivity, congestion and delays still plague many transborder
 corridors. Recent attempts to improve this situation involving several
 proposed new bridge projects have either been halted or significantly
 delayed over the last decade. This paper will review and critically
 examine the bi-national planning process that has been followed in an
 attempt to build a new bridge across the Detroit River, known as the
 Detroit River International Crossing (DRIC) project.

Title: The design dimension of China's planning system: urban design for development control 
Abstract:
 This paper investigates the design dimension of China's legal planning
 framework. It aims to identify the design principles which have been
 followed in practice, those design elements which have been considered by
 designers and planners as part of development control, and the extent to
 which urban design outcomes have been adopted in specific legal plans. It
 examines 14 urban design cases from Nanjing which were produced in
 conjunction with the relevant legal plans between 2009 and 2013. The study
 suggests that in China, urban design has been facing a number of
 challenges, including limited coverage of design elements, inconsistencies
 in the design principles followed, an incompatibility between design
 outcomes and legal plans, and an underestimation of the role of urban
 design in the delivery process of development control. Nevertheless,
 recent years have seen a rise in the standard of urban design practice in
 the country, and an emerging recognition of the role of urban design in
 local planning policies.

Title: Assessing the impact of international development policies on the process of civil society participation in urban development in the countries of the South: the case of Syria, 2005--2010 
Abstract:
 This paper seeks to explore the effect of the international development
 policies promoted by the United Nations Development Programme on civil
 society participation in urban development process in the countries of the
 South. More specifically, the case of Syria during the period 2005--2010
 was examined. An institutional analysis was conducted in order to
 investigate the question of whether development institutions in particular
 contexts, in terms of both the mental models and the organizational forms
 of development, permitted the space needed to apply this principle in
 practice. In this, the paper argues the need to promote a proactive
 approach to enable civil society participation in the countries of the
 South rather than a normative internationally accepted approach developed
 in isolation from the given political and institutional context.

Title: Big box battles: the Ontario Municipal Board and large-format retail land-use planning conflicts in the Greater Toronto Area 
Abstract:
 The Ontario Municipal Board is a quasi-judicial tribunal that is
 responsible for adjudicating municipal land-use planning appeals. The
 Board exerts considerable influence over property development outcomes.
 Big box retail as a form of commercial development has often been subject
 to planning conflict and appeal. This paper examines 65 big box retail
 Board appeals filed between 1993 and 2012 by developers and stakeholders
 independently or jointly in response to applications submitted at the
 municipal level throughout the Greater Toronto Area, Canada's largest
 metropolitan market. Results indicate the presence of game playing
 strategies used by participants that involves leveraging the potential of
 proceeding with a potentially expensive, time-consuming and uncertain
 hearing as a means to negotiate a settlement.

Title: Indigeneity of transport in developing cities 
Abstract:
 This paper offers an alternative conceptualization of informality within
 the transport sector. While it shows that informal transport is a far from
 trivial component of urban economies, it also highlights the sometimes
 problematic use of informality to homogeneously describe various public
 transport modes within the Southeast Asian transport landscape. It
 initially reviews a number of contested assumptions in the informality
 discourse within the context of public transportation in developing
 cities. It then proposes the concept of indigenous transport as a
 potential alternative, arguing that such perspective may better
 acknowledge and describe the mode's local and vernacular qualities as well
 as its complementary and supplementary functions. For the purposes of this
 paper, indigenous transport is described to pertain to those modes that
 respond to local demand, evolved based on local conditions and endemic to
 local mobility cultures. The indigenous transport framework aims to
 elucidate the five key characteristics of indigenous transport modes from
 a transport user's perspective. This is supported by an empirical study
 conducted in three Southeast Asian developing cities of varying
 geographical scales, namely Baguio (Philippines), Bandung (Indonesia) and
 Ho Chi Minh (Vietnam) to provide evidence that a transport user's prism
 will and can authentically present an alternative version of informality,
 and assist in painting an overall picture of the role of indigenous
 transport within the transport system of developing cities.

Title: Integration and decentralization: the evolution of Dutch regional land policy 
Abstract:
 The implementation of planning objectives in the public interest depends
 on the land laws and land policies of a state. Public stakeholders are not
 only enabled or constrained in their actions by these laws and policies,
 they also (re)formulate these laws and policies to support their actions.
 The objective of this paper is to understand how different stakeholders in
 spatial development processes influence land policy dynamics (both the
 (re)formulation and the implementation of policies) and vice versa. The
 paper explores the changes in land policies in the Netherlands, in
 particular how changes have enabled the regional planning level. The
 Policy Arrangement Approach is used to analyse the strategic behaviour of
 agencies and their use of structure in spatial development processes. The
 findings show that the arrangement rapidly changed from the 1980s onwards,
 due to changes in the underlying political discourses and the effectuation
 of these discourses via regulation and instruments. With objectives of
 decentralization and integration, the national government has enabled the
 regional planning level to become more active in spatial development
 processes. Although the provinces were enabled by new laws and policies,
 this did not significantly change their role within the Dutch planning
 system.

Title: Place as layered and segmentary commodity: place branding, smart growth and the creation of product and value 
Abstract:
 Smart growth is a comprehensive version of spatial planning that can guide
 sustainable development and tackle negative social and environmental
 consequences of urbanization. In this paper we explore how an integration
 of spatial planning and place branding strategies can further the concept
 of smart growth and improve its chance at implementation. A review of the
 parallel evolutions of place branding and smart growth shows their shared
 interest in comprehensive visions, sensitivity for narratives of place and
 self, and the proposed embedding in participatory governance. The concept
 of layered and segmenatary commodification offers a novel perspective on
 value creation in smart growth and helps to develop new forms of smart
 growth, that combine and integrate elements of spatial planning and place
 branding.

Title: Who lives downtown? Neighbourhood change in central Halifax, 1951--2011 
Abstract:
 The paper traces neighbourhood change in central Halifax, Canada, from
 1951 to 2011 to consider how urban renewal policies and other factors may
 have influenced who lives downtown. In the 1950s planners advocated slum
 clearance and modernization to permit commercial expansion in the city
 centre. Subsequent decades saw central neighbourhoods decline. By the
 1980s population began to rebound as planning policy increasingly promoted
 residential uses downtown. Over the 60 years central Halifax transitioned
 in character: three of the central tracts became increasingly affluent,
 while the fourth went from close to the city average to a low-income
 tract. The trajectories that neighbourhoods follow depend on several
 factors including societal changes, economic conditions, public policy
 interventions, and decisions made by other significant institutions (such
 as universities).

Title: The appropriation and transformation of the landscape: the urbanization process resulting from the cultivation of the <italic>erva mate</italic> in Paran&#xe1; (Brazil) 
Abstract:
 This paper aims to describe the landscape patterns and the urbanization
 process which evolved due to the <italic>mate</italic> tea (<italic>Ilex
 paraguariensis St. Hill</italic>) cultivation in the Brazilian state of
 Paran&#xe1;. Drinking <italic>mate</italic> tea is an ancient tradition of
 the Guarani Indians who settled the southeastern region of South America.
 The large-scale cultivation of <italic>mate</italic> in Paran&#xe1; has
 been taking place for centuries, mainly in the region around the city of
 <italic>Irati</italic>. <italic>Mate</italic> cultivation induced the
 development of settlements and influenced their growth; it stamped the
 economic and social character of the region, and shaped a rich and
 characteristic landscape. As other cultural landscapes, the &#x2018;mate
 landscape&#x2019; is undergoing changes, with agriculture and urbanization
 being the most important drivers. To sustain its values it is necessary to
 call for attention to its environmental, economic, social and cultural
 virtues. We discuss the ecological and aesthetic value of
 <italic>mate</italic> culture, and the social and environmental demands of
 its future. We also offer arguments and some ideas to create from the
 landscape a significant community added value, bearing in mind that
 landscape is a key element of the quality of life and an important asset
 for future generations.

Title: Shifts in rural planning in the US and India 
Abstract:
 The premise that rural planning is place specific is demonstrated in this
 paper by tracing the changing emphasis of rural planning in the US and
 India. Approaches to rural development in the two countries, particularly
 as pertinent to the agriculture sector, intersected following Indian
 independence in 1947. Indian planners drew on the experience of the US at
 inducing changes in agriculture based on scientific experimentation and a
 government-financed extension system for dissemination and adoption and
 developed similar systems for India. Salient aspects of rural planning in
 the two countries are delineated including historical settlement, modern
 farms, corporate farms, globalization, rural services, poverty
 alleviation, equity, access, and environmental, economic and social
 sustainability. Their two trajectories illustrate how the emphasis of
 rural planning in each country is shaped by the complex specificities of
 rural places. The current convergence in the US and India on environmental
 sustainability, communications systems, housing, education, job training,
 and areas of inequity reflect global trends in rural planning.

Title: Production, consumption, and protection: perspectives from North America on the multifunctional transition in rural planning 
Abstract:
 Rural areas encompass landscapes that range from peri-urban to very
 isolated &#x2018;deep rural&#x2019; areas; from rapidly growing high
 amenity retirement and second home communities to dilapidated near-ghost
 towns; from those with strong economies in agriculture, natural resource
 extraction, tourism, and high tech to those with shrinking economies. In
 addition, such global issues as climate change, food security, and future
 energy supply have enormous implications for rural places. In these
 circumstances planning thought and action are confronted -- often
 simultaneously -- with physical development -- planning for growth and
 change; production -- of traditional agricultural and natural resource
 outputs but also new outputs such as renewable energy and ecosystem
 services; and protection -- of the natural environment, cultural
 resources, and social systems. This article draws from the literature and
 interviews of rural specialists to explore the current tensions between
 production, consumption, and protection and emerging responses to them,
 through an exploration of North American rural planning.

Title: Asset-based community development in the energy sector: energy and regional policy lessons from community power in Japan 
Abstract:
 While promoting the expansion of alternative energy resources from the
 bottom-up, community ownership of assets is an important means to
 strengthen community resilience through local stakeholder engagement. This
 article argues that asset-based community development in the energy sector
 (ABCD-E) is a useful concept to frame our understanding of current
 Japanese community power initiatives which aim to reduce local
 dependencies on core executive decision-making and resource distribution,
 hence to reconfigure state--society and intergovernmental relations. Based
 on a case study of renewable energy projects in the City of Iida, located
 in Nagano Prefecture, empirical evidence for this multi-sectoral,
 place-based policy approach from Japan is provided. However, the tradition
 of central state authoritarianism, the interdependence and overlapping
 jurisdictional boundaries in the energy and regional policy areas, and
 vested interests of powerful interest groups pose strong barriers to
 energy-related ABCD functionality in the context of multi-level governance
 constraints.

Title: Turnaround: abandoned villages, from discarded elements of modern Italian society to possible resources 
Abstract:
 Abandoned villages can be considered both as discarded elements of modern
 society and as sources of identity. This paper considers this attribute as
 an added local resource, which can trigger processes of regeneration and
 local development with positive impacts on economy, environment, landscape
 and local community. Abandoned villages from the 1900s until the 2000s are
 diffused throughout the Italian territory, mostly in rural areas. These
 villages, abandoned due to various unfavourable conditions, represent an
 extreme outcome of the phenomenon of rural depopulation. Although the
 ghost village loses its original purpose as human habitat because it is
 abandoned, it is not really forgotten. Starting from the rediscovery of
 persistence of rurality in the form of memory, the intent of the paper is
 to try to answer the following questions: Does the reality of abandoned
 villages represent a rural resource in itself? What value can be
 attributed to abandoned villages? Is it possible to imagine new scenarios
 or roles for abandoned villages?

Title: The meta-governance of regions and the need for a political geography of planning 
Abstract:
 The aim of this paper is to explore a recently neglected aspect of the
 mainstream planning approach to natural resource regions and &#x2018;the
 rural&#x2019;: the role of the state and other powerful meta-governance
 actors. I address this issue by drawing on developments from planning and
 development theory, political geography, political science, and resilience
 studies. After discussing the different ways in which natural resource
 regions can be understood according to these strands, I explain the
 challenges confronting these approaches and introduce some of the ways in
 which these strands have attempted to overcome them. I argue that a
 renewed focus on the meta-governance of natural resource regions will both
 challenge and enrich future planning and development scholarship and
 practice. A political geography approach to understanding the role of
 meta-governance in planning natural resource regions is central to this
 agenda.

Title: Assessing the Delivery of Sustainable Residential Development
Abstract: Achieving sustainable development of new dwellings in growing cities is a major challenge for urban managers. This paper presents and demonstrates a quantitative methodology for assessing the sustainability of urban residential development by directly comparing household demand and dwelling supply. Sustainability is an international concern because of the rapid urbanization that is a feature of our times, and it is increasingly reflected in the metropolitan planning strategies that inform the practices of urban managers. In societies with rhetorical support for sustainability but a reluctance to embrace the practical repercussions, the method promotes evidence-based analysis and a transparent approach to help determine whether specific sustainability objectives are being achieved. The approach is to review the demographic structure, urban governance and strategic planning framework contextualizing residential development before measuring and comparing demand and supply and assessing the implications of any mismatch between development outcomes and strategic objectives. Summary findings from an application of the method to a case study in Melbourne show that the city's residential development remains largely fixed in a pattern established in the nineteenth century, and that neither the demographic basis of household demand nor policy frameworks seem to have effectively influenced recent development outcomes. A range of implications for social, economic and environmental sustainability are identified before possible causes of the failure to implement policy are identified and potential resolutions suggested.

Title: Tokenism or Political Activism? Some Reflections on Participatory Planning
Abstract: With the communicative turn in planning theory and the emergence of governance, public participation has become a central issue with respect to inclusionary discourse and the institutionalization of more democratic planning practices. A multitude of participatory planning practices have been implemented with reference to different theoretical perspectives and technical approaches ranging from the traditional to the radical model. Although the current debate about these different participatory activities has brought to the fore an increasing gap between rhetoric and the reality of various models, there are few attempts to compare them in practice. A comparison of participatory activities according to traditional/tokenist and radical models, respectively, should be of interest in the current debate on the crisis of participatory planning and barriers to the institutionalization of participatory planning. This paper discusses tokenist participation in the development planning of Hammarby Sjöstad in Stockholm, Sweden and political activism in a deprived community, Enziteto in Bari, Italy. These two different examples of planner–'community' interaction show the necessity to understand power politics that underlie the ideal of public participation in planning.

Title: Levels of Governance and Multi-stage Policy Process of Brownfield Regeneration: A Comparison of France and Switzerland
Abstract: This paper compares the multi-stage policy process of brownfield regeneration in France and in Switzerland, two decentralized although different countries that have not fully addressed the issue of brownfield regeneration at a national level. It makes a contribution in developing a framework to analyse the different stages of policy development, with regard to brownfield regeneration. It also fills a gap in comparative studies as French and Swiss contexts lack from coverage in the English speaking literature. It aims to understand why they have not shared and are still not sharing a similar path towards the inclusion of brownfield sites in national planning frameworks. Drawing on the examples of national policies implemented in England, in Germany and in the United States, the paper argues that whereas Switzerland is moving quickly to a national programme of brownfield regeneration highly anchored in an ambition of preserving natural spaces against urbanization, France is sustaining a persistent national concern for social housing estates giving flexibility and leeway to local and regional authorities as regards land-use management and brownfield regeneration.

Title: Conversion of Residential Units to Commercial Spaces in Accra, Ghana: A Policy Dilemma
Abstract: Over the past three decades, Ghana's economy has been subjected to tremendous macroeconomic reform programmes. The reforms in the national economic system were reflected almost immediately on the urban landscape. One such change is widespread land-use conversion, mainly from residential to commercial spaces. This study examines the major forces driving conversion, processes involved in conversion, conflicts with existing land uses, and their impact on the urban-built environment and the livelihood of actors involved. The study involves 39 in-depth interviews with key informants, with strategic reports and documents used to contextualize interview results. The findings indicate that the conversion of residential to commercial units is widespread, and that it is the result of several factors, including the desire to improve economic opportunities in light of growing uncertainty, the mismatch between demand and supply for retail spaces, infrastructural development and redevelopment, and interest in expanding population and entrepreneurial activities. The conversion process is occurring informally, and many businesses that operate in the converted properties are small scale. Findings indicate planning implications associated with the conversion process and offer suggestions to address them.

Title: Planning the Climate-just City
Abstract: Issues of urban equity have long been linked to urban planning. Yet in practice the quest for the ‘just city’, defined in terms of democracy, diversity, difference and sustainability, has proven to be highly problematic. Drawing on examples from the Australian urban context, we argue that the imperative of climate change adds urgency to the longstanding equity agenda of planning in cities. In our normative quest for the climate-just city we offer a conceptual and analytical framework for integrating the principles of climate justice and equity into urban planning thinking and practice.

Title: Opening the Mind, Challenging the Space: Cross-border Cooperation between Romania and Moldova
Abstract: This article analyses a new social space at the border between Romania and Moldova. Given the common identity of the two territories, it explores the changes in the new space and the creation of Euro-regions as contemporary geopolitical strategies, analysing their effectiveness along the Romanian–Moldovan border. The paper attempts to combine two concepts of space and regionalism to construct a new configuration of territory. It also suggests that where historical–cultural identity exists, it may provide a better foundation in the development of Euro-regions and cross-border activities, and may reactivate positive perceptions between citizens.

Title: From Cultural Building, Economic Revitalization to Local Partnership? The Changing Nature of Community Mobilization in Taiwan
Abstract: This paper analyses how community development was an important social parameter in Taiwan over the past two decades. Political changes occurred during and after the 1990s when the ‘community empowerment project’ enabled communities to be the new player between state and society. Various cultural contents and political manoeuvres were brought forth for empowering local society. However, soon economic concerns were introduced to community development. Community groups were encouraged to commoditize local history and develop local tourism or cultural industries to save the then marginalized local economy. Furthermore, the role of community changed dramatically under the rule of the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), which ruled between 2000 and 2008. The DPP, aiming at creating a ‘well-being society’, summoned communities to become a local agent in tasks such as delivering infrastructures, modernizing administration, care and service. The community organizations were framed by this policy, functioning as the political partner in local society. Since this turn of community development was re-institutionalized by the professionals who served as mediators between community and state, this paper ends by reiterating good and bad consequences of such expert tending of governmental affairs.

Title: Promoting Rural Development through the Use of Land Consolidation: The Case of Korea
Abstract: In rapidly developing nations, industrialization and urbanization result in an urban–rural development gap whereby the standard of living in rural areas lags behind urban areas. This may cause further urbanization and a relative decline in rural areas. Governments have used many strategies to challenge this trend. Using the Republic of Korea as a case study, this paper investigates whether land consolidation, a place-making instrument that may be used to empower rural stakeholders through improving the structure of their properties, might become an instrument of rural development.

Title: The Swedish Discourse on Sustainable Regional Development: Consolidating the Post-political Condition
Abstract: This paper presents the results of an investigation into how sustainable development was introduced as a new objective for regional development policy in Sweden. Specific attention is given to the basic assumptions underlying the shaping of sustainable regional development (SRD) as a new policy goal in the Swedish regional development policy arena, which is a main arena for regional planning in Sweden. The overall aim is to chart and critically assess official Swedish SRD policy discourse using an analytical approach inspired by Foucauldian discourse analysis; that is, targeting both text and practice through examination of policy documents and institutional settings. Of key interest are the norms and power relations produced and reproduced through the discourse. In the study, holism, equilibrium and consensus are identified as key storylines of the Swedish SRD discourse. In essence, our findings indicate a further (re)production and consolidation of a post-political approach that provides no input to developing any alternative trajectory for society. The concluding discussion concerns the need to challenge the post-political condition and reassert the political and ideological content of the aims and visions for SRD, as well as for development in general.

Title: Rethinking the mechanism of the social impact assessment with the ‘right to the city’ concept: a case study of the Blue House Revitalization Project in Hong Kong (2006–2012)
Abstract: 
 Over the past two decades, urban renewal has become a major means to increase the efficiency of land production in Hong Kong (HK). Although the Urban Renewal Authority (URA) and Hong Kong Housing Authority (HKHA) have introduced the social impact assessment (SIA) mechanism to mitigate the social impact of renewal projects, social conflicts have intensified between affected residents and the URA/HKHA. To what extent can SIA effectively mitigate the social impacts of urban renewal in HK? To answer this question, the author draws on a mixture of empirical and secondary materials to analyse the development, assessment procedures, and report format of SIA in HK as a basis to evaluate the challenges of this mechanism. Then the author goes on to critically analyse how thinking on ‘right to the city’ and affected residents’ comments come together to inform reflections on SIA in HK. The author argues that the SIA mechanism in HK remains technocratic in nature because it does not function effectively in addressing the needs of affected residents and resolving the deep-rooted conflicts between residents’ right of living and pro-growth development.

Title: Rethinking water reform policies as a ‘wicked problem’ the case of urban water supply in Ghana
Abstract: 
 Based on the theory of ‘wicked problem’ this paper investigates the causes of unsuccessful reform of urban water utilities in Accra, Ghana. The authors of this paper argue that reforms based only on managerial perspectives are not enough. Taking into account institutional and social issues is a key for the success of such reforms. Donors and international agencies lack such outlook and therefore fail to develop effective water policy reforms in developing countries generally. The paper discusses inter-twined and multi-dimensional institutional constraints that hinder the development of an appropriate approach to water utility reform in Accra.

Title: Strategic green infrastructure planning in Germany and the UK: a transnational evaluation of the evolution of urban greening policy and practice
Abstract: 
 The evolution of Green Infrastructure (GI) planning has varied dramatically between nations. Although a grounded set of principles are recognized globally, there is increasing variance in how these are implemented at a national and sub-national level. To investigate this the following paper presents an evaluation of how green infrastructure has been planned for in England and Germany illustrating how national policy structures facilitate variance in application. Adopting an evaluative framework linked to the identification of GI, its development and monitoring/feedback the paper questions the impacts on delivery of intersecting factors including terminology, spatial distribution and functionality on effective GI investment. This process reviews how changing policy structures have influenced the framing of green infrastructure policy, and subsequent impact this has on the delivery of green infrastructure projects.

Title: What defines success when visions compete: lessons from post-Katrina New Orleans
Abstract: 
 Visions can be valuable tools for guiding and uniting land use interests in a region with fragmented administration. What determines the strength of a vision and how can it effectively play its role? Our study tested and supplemented hypotheses on the success factors of visions. We chose a city in a rebuilding process because that represents a most intensive and pressing vision process. We interviewed local policy-makers, designers, researchers, and journalists to find out what they would spontaneously cite as a vision’s most crucial factors. We also reviewed the subsequent New Orleans recovery plans and compared our findings with hypotheses from visioning literature. The interviewees’ spontaneous answers largely confirm the key hypotheses about success from the visioning literature. However, the most frequently mentioned factors were not in the literature: a vision needs to be propagated by a powerful authority, a favourable larger political climate, and the funds to sustain the implementation process. For a vision to make a difference, it needs to be substantively relevant and persuasive but also have a favourable institutional climate to help it along.

Title: Should the public sector play a greater role funding brownfield redevelopment projects? A transatlantic comparison
Abstract: 
 In the US and Germany, various public funding tools are available to make brownfield redevelopment projects financially feasible. The practices of private or public sector involvement differ from an international perspective. The following discussion will explore funding practices in the US and Germany. In Germany, there is a long tradition of public sector involvement while the US is predominately driven by private sector funding. A comparison will help identify long-standing practices in Germany and how they might be adapted to the US context. In a manner similar to the previous chapter on policies and programs, findings in this chapter are discussed at federal US, state of Michigan and local municipal levels, and European Union, Germany, and local-level funding.

Title: Managing the transition to a more compact city in Australia
Abstract: 
 This paper explores the transition towards the compact city model in Australia, which has become the orthodoxy of metropolitan planning in the last two decades. This transition is aligned with neoliberal policies through which private investment and the marketplace have become dominant in driving urban growth and change. However, an intensive review of the experience of Sydney and Perth shows that a metanarrative of transition from a social-democratic to a neoliberal form in metropolitan planning is an oversimplification, and blurs the redeployment of state powers, processes and institutions to address new challenges. The paper explores two related points. First, it demonstrates how a methodical examination of the eclectic mixture of policies designed to drive the compact city transition can enable the identification and analysis of shared policy trends across the two cities. These trends relate to metropolitan strategies, transport planning, infrastructure funding, centralization and local input. Second, it demonstrates how such a review can also provide broader insights into the contours of the political economy of the compact city, and the potential significance for its citizenry. Key insights relate to who has a say in development control, growing executive power, increased government engagement with lobby groups and growing inequality.

Title: Contesting green technology in the city: techno-apartheid or equitable modernisation?
Abstract: 
 In recent decades, heated debate around green technology and its equitable access has aroused the concern of international scholars. This paper provides a review on the exclusion of green technology referred to as ‘green techno-apartheid’ and examines selected key eco-cities (i.e. Masdar, Songdo IBD and Bangalore) considered in the 2013 United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) Report on ‘City-Level Decoupling’ (2013). Metropolitan planning is a crucial instrument in addressing the challenges of urban social sustainability and is thus considered an important mechanism for developing a platform to approach issues of equitable access to green technology. The study reviews five metropolitan plans: the ‘London Plan’ (London, England), the ‘Municipal Plan 2011 for Greater Copenhagen’ (Copenhagen, Denmark), the ‘Economically Strong and Sustainable Structural Vision: Amsterdam 2040’ (Amsterdam, Netherlands), the ‘Hong Kong 2030: Planning Vision and Strategy’ (Hong Kong, China) and the ‘Metropolitan Plan for Sydney 2036’ (Sydney, Australia). The results of the study suggest that while all these plans focus on promoting green technology within a framework of ecological modernisation, they lack appropriate tools for achieving equitable modernisation and enhancing social equity. Consequently, it is essential that researchers and planners take further steps and develop effective instruments to improve equitable access to green technologies and achieve long-term urban social sustainability.

Title: Planning for population ageing: the rhetoric of ‘active ageing’ – theoretical shortfalls, policy limits, practical constraints and the crucial requirement for societal interventions
Abstract: 
 International policy discourse on planning for population ageing has developed around the notion of ‘active ageing’. However, the extent to which active ageing policy prescriptions are responding to social and individual needs at the local level is yet to be investigated. This paper examines the theoretical shortfalls, policy limits and practical constraints to active ageing, with a focus on social exclusion, locational disadvantage, spatial exclusion and the impediments local councils encounter in supporting this policy. Findings from a study on local government and ageing in New South Wales (NSW), Australia, a complementary investigation of projected changes in older populations in NSW local government areas and related issues in the literature are reported. The analysis demonstrates the implications differing local (resource, opportunity, capability and spatial) contexts have for active ageing and the vital requirement for societal interventions.

Title: Rethinking the Metropolis: Reconfiguring the Governance Structures of the Twenty-first-century City-region
Abstract: Increasingly, metropolitan planning is challenged by the tensions between the search to become a ‘competitive metropolis' as well as a ‘sustainable metropolis'. Many urban regions struggle with dealing with these complexities on the metropolitan level and try to find bottom-up solutions to balance between the supposed merits of new territorial frames and identities on the metropolitan level and the often local political spaces. Yet, the political strength of metropolitan areas, necessary to design and implement these policies, remains rather weak. The overarching purpose of this special issue is to develop a more robust and rigorous definition of what ‘thinking metropolitan’ means, particularly for five medium-sized city-regions of the early twenty-first century.

Title: Milan, the Unthinking Metropolis
Abstract: Path-dependent development together with entrepreneurial capacities and clustering of activities gave Milan a new role as one of the main global centres in media, design and fashion industries. The good fortunes of the city on the economic side have not yet been accompanied by a satisfactory approach in the territorial government and administration. As the city has manifested a patent inability of developing a good ‘metropolitan’ government, sprawling outside its limits in an apparently uncontrolled way and congesting its centre with cars and polluting fumes, it will be a challenge to see whether it will also be able into a new European metropolis.

Title: Thinking Metropolis: From the ‘Livable Region’ to the ‘Sustainable Metropolis’ in Vancouver
Abstract: At the metropolitan scale, the Greater Vancouver Regional District has earned acclaim for its commitments to preserving green spaces, its attention to metropolitan labour markets and employment, investments in rapid transit and the introduction of ‘compact’ and ‘complete’ communities. Recently, the regional governance authority was rebranded to ‘Metro Vancouver’, connoting a more integrative policy framework, as well as a cosmopolitan/transnational imagery; and entailing the insertion of sustainable development into planning discourses. This essay offers a critical perspective on Vancouver's planning record, and a commentary on prospects for advancing the ‘metropolitan consciousness’ required to address the developmental exigencies of the twenty-first-century city-region.

Title: From Amsterdam to Amsterdam Metropolitan Area: A Paradigm Shift
Abstract: The Amsterdam Metropolitan Area is searching for new ways to position itself on the global economic stage as a full-fledged and sustainable European metropolis. While repositioning, the City of Amsterdam and its surrounding municipalities have made a shift to a more urban–regional narrative to serve the region and tackle its planning challenges. This paper will discuss the current situation of the Amsterdam Metropolitan Area and analyse the scale and scope of the metropolitan thinking, with emphasis on the importance of international competitiveness and sustainability policies – and the balance between them – in this process of metropolitan capacity-building and consciousness-building.

Title: Stuttgart: A Metropolitan City-region in the Making?
Abstract: In Germany, there are as yet rather few cities that have given the idea of a city-region meaningful expression and institutional form. Stuttgart is one of them, having developed a unique system of regional institutions and governance structures as well as policies and initiatives to fill them with life. This paper outlines the context and development of metropolitan governance in the Stuttgart region. It analyses its structures, actors, policies and processes, and reflects on the perceived dual challenge – and tensions – of strengthening international competitiveness while enhancing natural environment and quality of life in a sustainable way.

Title: Towards a Metropolitan Consciousness in the Portland Oregon Metropolitan Area
Abstract: The Portland metropolitan area has benefited from the intergovernmental cooperation employed across the region and the sense of metropolitan identity that is held by public officials and the general public. The key tools that have been employed include formation of a metropolitan government, establishment of an urban growth boundary to contain sprawl and redirect market forces to produce a more compact region, and development of a regional light rail system and a regional parks and open space system. This paper argues that linking the typically inward focus of sustainable development to a global context, the region can realize an even greater benefit.

Title: Reconfiguring the Governance Structures of the Twenty-first-century City-region: Observations and Conclusions
Abstract: In this special theme issue of International Planning Studies, we and our international colleagues have presented five papers that elucidate the present state of institutionalized regionalisms in five medium-sized city-regions – Milan, Stuttgart, Portland, Vancouver and Amsterdam – as well as addressing the condition of, and potential for, progressive metropolitan consciousness in these regions. We have gained insights into the different trajectories of the cities with respect to their attempts to reconfigure their metropolitan governance structures. In this concluding essay we will generate some instructive insights into the defining qualities of metropolitan planning in the case-study city-regions and identify complements, trade-offs and conflicts. We will draw out wider implications of the case studies for urban scholarship and for policy innovation and development.

Title: Spaces of resilience, ingenuity, and entrepreneurship in informal work in Ghana
Abstract: 
 Despite playing an important role in the economies of low-income countries, there is a perception that informal markets are haphazard and disorganized. Using in-depth interviews conducted in Accra, Ghana, this study examines the strategic choices that market women pursue to gain access to and thrive in informal working spaces and ensure long-term survival. The findings reveal that entry into the informal working spaces is contingent on women’s ability to forge and nourish ties with acquaintances, kinsmen and middlemen. Further, the study found that in contrast to the notion of unregulated competition typically associated with street vending, market relations among women traders in informal market spaces are marked by alliances between rival sellers that transcended religious, ethnic, linguistic, and generational divides. As well, a strict code of conduct governs market behaviour, underpinned by an ethos of cooperation and mutual assistance among rival sellers. Furthermore, market women in Accra articulate the rationale behind informal entrepreneurship in ways that align with local and national development agenda. In so doing, the market women lend legitimacy to their trade, demand accountability from local authorities, and oppose repressive practices by the state. We highlight the implications of our findings for city planning and development.

Title: From authoritarian transplantation to prescriptive imposition of good governance: tracing the diffusion of western planning concepts in Bangladesh
Abstract: 
 Mobility of international policy and ideas play a critical role in shaping planning practices within urban contexts. Both policy mobility and policy transfer literature are mostly focused on voluntary policy choice and relatively inattentive to coercive policy transfer or mobility. Moreover, little attention has been paid on post-colonial countries where imposition has been occurred through the conduits of colonial legacy and foreign aid packages. This paper applies Ward’s typology of diffusion to investigate how western planning ideas have come to spread within Bangladeshi context. The paper aims to trace how imported knowledge was operationalized in the local context by presenting a storyline of major planning episodes. The retrospective analysis exposes the influence of political factors and external knowledge on urban fabric and planning policies in Bangladesh. A shift from more authoritarian to prescriptive imposition of planning ideas has been observed which is mostly characterized by colonial legacy and aid-dependency. While recent transformations in development strategies aim to foster democratic and transparent planning to facilitate development of a home-grown approach to planning, careful attention is required to effectively implement such agenda. The paper concludes by identifying the constraints and challenges of promoting local planning efforts within the current development milieu.

Title: Contemporary tendencies in Colombian urban planning: the case of the ‘Planes Parciales’ in Medellín
Abstract: 
 After decades of internal conflict, Colombia is experiencing economic growth and urbanization. It remains, however, one of the most socially unequal countries in Latin America. Medellín, acclaimed the most innovative city, implemented large-scale transport infrastructures to link socially excluded areas to the city; new educational and cultural facilities; new public spaces and housing projects, rooted in the Barcelona model. This so-called ‘social urbanism’ has shifted local perceptions, though its socio-economic impact has been questioned. This paper focuses on the less analysed transformations in planning policy and management through two instruments: the Land Use Plan (Plan de Ordenamiento Territorial – POT) and the ‘Plan Parcial’. The research, based on a desktop review, interviews and site visits, examines the application of these instruments in Medellín, reflecting on how they contribute to achieving the aims of ‘social urbanism’. The paper explores the differences between ‘rhetoric’ and practice that are reflected in those between the city’s overarching plan (POT) and the implementation of ‘planes parciales’, focusing on redevelopment, urban renewal and urban expansion. Such differences mirror the deficiencies in the adaptation of the ‘urban project’ Barcelona model in Medellín, and provide the basis for a call to develop ‘social urbanism’ that is genuinely more socially, territorially comprehensive and inclusive.

Title: Urban growth, economic structures and demographic dynamics: exploring the spatial mismatch between planned and actual land-use in a Mediterranean city
Abstract: 
 Recent urbanization led to a more evident distinction in historical inner cities, consolidated urban periphery and peri-urban areas. The resulting metropolitan structures are moulded by social, economic, cultural and political factors, fuelling unregulated – and often dispersed – urban expansion. In this context, spatial planning was increasingly asked to regulate complex processes of metropolitan development. Under the hypothesis that discontinuous urban expansion was associated with planning deregulation or poorly effective zoning procedures, the present study introduces an operational approach aimed at comparing actual and planned land-use at the metropolitan scale in the Large Urban Zone (LUZ) of Rome, Italy. Settlements developed on land with less stringent building constraints have resulted in the discontinuous urban expansion. Because of increased house demand and high pressure for services and infrastructures, discontinuous urbanization in Rome has frequently involved out-of-plan land – with partial regulatory constraints or with mixed/ambiguous land destination – in areas with growing population. Going beyond a descriptive analysis of urban morphologies, empirical exercises comparing actual and planned land-use provide basic information to design developmental policies containing discontinuous urbanization.

Title: An analysis of the costs and quality of infrastructure facilities in informal settlements in Kumasi, Ghana
Abstract: 
 The literature on urban development generally posits that informal settlements offer low cost housing to the urban poor in developing countries. Using data from four informal settlements in Kumasi, Ghana, this paper analyses the costs and quality of water and sanitation infrastructure delivery in relation to the socio-economic conditions of residents. It finds a paradox where residents of deprived informal settlements pay higher fees for the use of low-quality privately-owned outdoor commercial water and sanitation facilities. The study therefore calls for a re-examination of urban upgrading programmes to focus on approaches that consider the financial implications of projects on beneficiaries.

Title: The pursuit of greenness: explaining low-carbon urban transformation in Indonesia
Abstract: 
 Despite the limited efforts of Indonesian cities and urban areas to overcome high production of greenhouse gas emissions, Balikpapan and Palembang are two cities that have demonstrated intriguing efforts to reduce such emissions. This paper aims to add to the scientific literature regarding the recent progress of low-carbon transformation in developing countries. The paper identifies the drivers of low-carbon planning and development and the extent to which such drivers can influence the success of low-carbon agendas. Four perspectives of analysis are adopted and tested using Balikpapan and Palembang as study cases: (1) public policy, (2) collaboration, (3) infrastructure and (4) knowledge creation and utilization. This study offers critical discussion regarding the adoption of the four perspectives as an integrated analysis to explain the complexity of low-carbon urban transformation.

Title: Implementing Metropolitan Strategies: Lessons from Melbourne
Abstract: In 2002, the state government of Victoria, Australia, introduced a new 30-year metropolitan planning strategy for Melbourne. However, its implementation was problematic, at times ineffectual and at others the cause of community conflict. When a new government was elected in 2010 it announced the strategy's abandonment. This article evaluates the Melbourne strategy to examine its shortcomings. It concludes that it lacked the critical components of a clear purpose and vision, ownership, or at least acceptance, by all metropolitan stakeholders, including opposing politicians; and clear guidelines, actions (including expenditure) and regulation for implementation. These findings have relevance for metropolitan strategic planning in cities beyond Australia, as some of the underlying reasons, such as the neoliberal influence on policy, also exist in other city regions around the world.

Title: The Governance of a Shrinking City: Housing Renewal in the Liverpool Conurbation, UK
Abstract: This paper contributes to an emerging international research agenda examining the governance of ‘shrinking’ (depopulating) cities. It presents the findings of recent empirical research into the governance of housing renewal in the Liverpool conurbation (Merseyside), UK. Housing is a policy area which is directly affected by changes in population trends, and so this study provides insights into the way the conurbation has responded to shrinkage with regard to this issue. This paper concludes that the Merseyside response bears similarities to other international studies of shrinking cities in displaying an interplay between local and wider actors seeking to address the specific problems being faced by the area. An increasing reliance upon private sector involvement has also been evident, concurring with the findings of other recent studies on housing renewal governance in the UK. However, while the agendas of local delivery bodies have aligned in implementing programmes, there have been conflicts with some local residents.

Title: Gentrifying the Rural? Planning and Market Processes in Rural Ireland
Abstract: Rural gentrification represents an emerging research agenda in the context of social transformation of rural localities. Having as a case study the Republic of Ireland, which provides a case of a laissez-faire planning system, this paper first addresses supply-side factors that have provided key preconditions for gentrification to take place. Then, using survey data in case study localities, we examine the extent that gentrification is a factor in rural residential mobility. We argue that the changing rural condition of Ireland provides essential preconditions for gentrification to take place. However, the gentrification literature provides only a partial angle of rural residential mobility, given the nature of rural in-migration observed in our case studies (that is blue-collar and return rural in-migration) during a period of substantial rural housing growth.

Title: Land Reform beyond the Reformed Land: A Baseline Study of Unplanned Site Allocations in Brazil
Abstract: This paper brings to light some of the problems deriving from not systematically using regional planning as a strategic governance tool in land reform policy. With concrete examples from land reform sites in Northeast Brazil, we argue that factors leading to suboptimal results include the lack of a suited space for planned conjunct actions as a means to propel broader regional development. Empirically, the paper identifies causes of the meagre regional implications of the Land Bill Programme, a government initiative aimed to fight rural poverty associated with landlessness. As a policy implication, we argue that regional planning can be an efficient tool for the placement of land through land reform, which would require not only providing land loans, but also designing concerted actions that would benefit an entire region.

Title: Restricted Mobilities: Access to, and Activities in, Public and Private Spaces
Abstract: Privatization of public spaces in the contemporary city has increased over the past few decades, but only a few studies have approached this trend from a mobility perspective. Therefore, this article seeks to make a contribution to the field by exploring two Australian examples of private spaces in the city, gated communities and shopping centres, through the ‘mobility’ lenses. The article illustrates how different mobility systems enable and/or restrict public access to private–public spaces, and it points out that proprietary communities create an unequal potential for human movement and access in the city. The main argument in the article is that many mobility systems enable specialization of places that are targeted at a special section of the population. This means that various forms of mobilities (e.g. automobility, virtual mobile communication technologies) not only create new opportunities for urban life, but also serve as one of the most critical components in the production of new exclusion and stratification. In conclusion, the article therefore suggests that future urban research and planning also need to apply the mobility perspective in order to understand the mechanisms between flows of movement and the understanding fixed spaces in the cities, and how different mobility systems play an important role in sustaining the exclusiveness that often characterizes private/public spaces. Likewise, from a mobility perspective, the specific consequences that the proprietary communities have on the surrounding communities seem to be an important further question for research and planning.

Title: The Localization of Food Systems — An Emerging Issue for Swedish Municipal Authorities
Abstract: This paper discusses planning from a localization perspective in relation to food production and consumption in Swedish local authorities. A national interview study was conducted where 75% (218) of Swedish municipalities participated. Four issues relating to locally produced food provided the focus of the study, namely, policy, procurement procedures, communication efforts directed at producers and logistics. Local-level planning documents such as comprehensive plans, climate strategies and programmes for sustainable development were studied to explore the extent to which issues of local food were included as a factor in municipal planning.

Title: IKEA and Small City Development in Sweden: Planning Myths, Realities, and Unsustainable Mobilities
Abstract: This article analyses how urban authorities manage goals of sustainable development in decentralized planning contexts when faced with economic growth opportunities offered by a powerful development actor. This challenge is described and analysed in a comparative case study of how two Swedish cities handled the issue of new IKEA stores in decision-making and planning. The analysis centres on how power relations affected planning and decision-making, and is complemented by an evaluation of the choices and actions of the two municipalities in sustainable mobility terms, and an indication of the potential environmental consequences of the decisions. The results show how the two municipalities locked their cities into car-dependent development paths by accepting IKEA's retail concept, due to perceived fierce competition for retail trade between neighbouring cities, and a belief that IKEA development would boost economic growth. The municipalities conducted considerable parts of the planning processes under secrecy, which constrained criticism of the IKEA developments, and left environmental and traffic impacts not fully assessed or debated. The cases show how, while attempting to put in place strategies for sustainable urban development, the municipalities handled difficult choices in ways which compromised their own and wider environmental goals for economic gains.

Title: Justice as Fairness in Planning Policy-Making
Abstract: This paper considers a moral basis for planning theory and endeavours to establish principles of justice which might be relevant to the regulation of development. Whilst the investigation recognizes that there is a need for a deeper understanding of the dynamics of governance, it suggests that many of the inefficiencies, inequities and public disquiet concerns relating to planning centre on a drift from a perception that the system is both fair and just, and that practice needs to be anchored on founding values concerned with redistribution and equality. In this context, John Rawls’ theory of justice is employed as a vehicle to capture moral ideas of equality and liberty within a constitutional democracy and as a basis for scrutinizing emerging justice-based issues which impact upon planning. Using National Policy Statements as a case study, the paper concludes that, whilst there are serious concerns over current policy-making practices, the principles of justice offer a foundation for practical critique which can help overcome problems of mistrust.

Title: Institutional Design for Value Capture and a Case: The Tel-Aviv Metropolitan Park
Abstract: Two factors are critical for implementing strategic projects: institutional design and value capture. A brief introduction to institutional design is followed by an exposition of value capture: capturing the indirect benefits of public investments to fund the development and operation of public projects. Institutional design answers the question: how to institutionalize and effect value capture to enable a proposed project to be funded. Alternative modes of value capture are associated with different forms of institutional design, including levies, Special Districts and public–private partnerships. The case of the Ayalon Metropolitan Park in Tel-Aviv, Israel, illustrates the need for strategic project planning to include institutional design for value capture.

Title: Coming to Terms with Power Lines
Abstract: Though infrastructure planning and provision often unsettle homeowners and communities, facilitating research has been sporadic. Via a qualitative design, this article studies homeowners’ perceptions of high-voltage overhead transmission lines (HVOTLs) with respect of design, cost differentials, health effects, safety issues, visual and noise impacts, environmental damage and interference with property rights. The results support inductive modelling which situates and theorizes the risk associated with power line placement. Apart from informing power and planning agencies, the project acts as a foundation for later quantitative work undertaken to enlarge explanation of residents’ reactions to HVOTL proposals.

Title: Institutional framing of citizen initiatives: a challenge for advancing public participation in Sweden
Abstract: 
 The Swedish image as a welfare society is challenged due to increasing spatial concentration of poverties. While Sherry Arnstein's Ladder of citizen participation lives on in new models for participatory governance under development in local municipalities, her focus on social inclusion, empowerment and community self-mobilization seems abandoned. This paper uses a case study in a marginalized suburb of Gothenburg to discuss how the local authority met a community-led initiative aiming at creating a new meeting place. The process is analysed in terms of institutional framing, which comprises both formal and informal practices, both policies and underlying beliefs. The study indicates that a strong control orientation and focus on formal procedures may be grounded in a tradition of representative democracy, but also that it may constitute an obstacle for a flexible and supportive approach towards community-led initiatives. Possible implications are discussed.

Title: Planning for population ageing: implications of local demographic, spatial and fiscal differences
Abstract: 
 Population ageing is a global phenomenon with local implications. This article investigates local demographic, spatial and fiscal differences that define the planning context for population ageing. The study is based on a comprehensive analysis of population ageing in local government areas in New South Wales, Australia and related issues in the literature. Local councils are shown to be in disparate positions to address population ageing. An international need to examine this demographic transition at the local level is demonstrated. Study findings indicate that planning for population ageing relies on adequate knowledge of the discrete and extensive local differences that exist. Significantly, there is an immediate requirement to formulate policy responses, given the speed and level of this demographic change over the next decade and beyond. Wide-ranging approaches are essential to accord with the local differences discussed here.

Title: Learning from France: using public deliberation to tackle infrastructure planning issues
Abstract: 
 This paper examines the practice in France since the 1990s in working towards decisions on major infrastructure. Whilst in some European countries the drive since that time has been to press faster decision-making and deregulation, in France the response to difficulties in progressing large infrastructure schemes was to move to more deliberative approaches, both at the project level and in relation to environmental issues as a whole. The paper considers these approaches alongside the growing literature on deliberative democracy, particularly that on deliberative systems. It is suggested that there is much scope to learn from the accumulated experience in these fields, which could help to provide a more considered, open and pluralist approach to infrastructure decisions, genuinely taking account of all alternatives, as against the tendency to move to a more demand driven and limited democracy approach which has been promoted in England and Wales in the UK and to a certain extent at EU level as well.

Title: Keywords in planning: what do we mean by ‘community resilience’?
Abstract: 
 In this paper, we critically explore the combination of a dynamic, multilayered understanding of community with an open-ended, ‘emergent’ understanding of resilience, and highlight the relevance for planners. We argue prevailing planning policies and practices on community resilience tend to work with rather simplistic, one-dimensional understandings of both ‘community’ and ‘resilience’. The multiple layers of meaning that are embedded in the word community are ignored when it is treated as an add-on intended to give underlying ideas about resilience planning greater public appeal. Apart and together the concepts of community and resilience bring into play a host of tensions between, for example, continuity and change, resistance and adaptation, inclusion and exclusion. This paper offers a framework for ensuring that these important considerations are openly negotiated within transparent normative frameworks of planning policy and practice.

Title: By invitation only: uses and users of the ‘entrepreneurial city’
Abstract: 
 Large-scale urban development projects (LSUDPs) are embodying the diffusion of an entrepreneurial approach into urban policy and consequently to planning, with the built environment being transformed into spaces oriented towards specific users and uses. For planning practice, this entails including urban forms and discourses that support exclusion and polarization in planning projects. This paper asks how physical planning promotes and/or hinders spatial and socio-economic integration in these projects. The analysis focuses on two UDPs in Malmö, Sweden. Official planning documents, interviews with public officials and the media are used to illustrate the discourses and practices built around these projects to glance over aspects of equity and integration in a city that is plagued by socio-economic and spatial segregation. The paper contributes to the discussions on implications and dilemmas for physical planning derived from the adoption of entrepreneurial approaches in urban policy.

Title: Opportunism over strategy: a history of regional policy and spatial planning in Ireland
Abstract: 
 Since the 1950s regional policy and spatial planning in Ireland has been largely reactive and opportunistic in nature rather than strategically or ideologically driven. As a result, inconsistent approaches to regional and spatial issues have arisen, driven mainly by short-term goals or issues of the day rather than adherence to a clear, long-term strategic objective. Thus, Government interest in regional and spatial issues has ebbed and flowed in reaction to the events and economic climate of the day; during the 1950s interest surged in reaction to rural decay, emigration and economic failure, waned with entry in to the European Economic Community in 1973 and the prolonged recession of the 1980s and re-emerged in response to growing congestion problems arising from the ‘Celtic Tiger’ at the turn of the century and led to the publication of the National Spatial Strategy (NSS) in 2002. This history is outlined and brought up to date, to incorporate recent developments, such as the publication of the government strategy document ‘Putting People First’. It is hoped that this may provide context to facilitate forthcoming deliberations around the recently announced ‘replacement’ NSS for Ireland.

Title: Researchers as knowledge brokers: translating knowledge or co-producing legitimacy? An urban infill case from Finland
Abstract: 
 Knowledge brokering is on the rise in various spheres of knowledge societies. The aim has been to improve the interaction between knowledge production and use. This paper analyses knowledge-brokering activities in the context of urban densification. In an institutionally ambiguous situation we organized a new kind of participatory event for enabling the public discussion on densification to grow. We interpret the event as a boundary interaction, wherein we acted as knowledge brokers. However, the question remains as to what were we actually co-producing: brokered knowledge, novel collaborative partnerships or political legitimacy for a vague planning process?

Title: Gating and conflicting rationalities: challenges in practice and theoretical implications
Abstract: 
 Gated communities have grown significantly in many parts of the world, including South Africa. This paper focuses on gated communities in the City of Tshwane. The discussion is based on a study carried out between 2013 and 2014 on enclosed neighbourhoods – a type of gated community – and the processes involved to apply for permission to close off existing neighbourhoods. These neighbourhoods are used as a lens to highlight the challenges facing the planning practice and the consequent tensions that emerged due to conflicting rationalities and deep differences between the various stakeholders. Planners are caught in the middle. The paper indicates that planners are aware of the tensions but have limited means to address them due to strong political pressure, emotional upheaval from community members and a restricted legal base. This has several implications for both planning theory and practice.

Title: Neoliberalism and urban planning in Toronto: how seasoned planners adjust to their changing circumstances
Abstract: 
 This paper examines what 14 senior urban planners working for various planning agencies across metropolitan Toronto said about their work, interpreted through the lens of neoliberalism. Some still draw on the planning values of the old City of Toronto from the 1970s and 1980s, and most, in various ways, seek to push the bounds of contemporary practice. Consideration is given to the possibilities of emergent planning practices beyond the current neoliberal ascendancy in public life.

Title: Polycentric development practice in master planning: the case of China
Abstract: 
 Towards the end of the twentieth century, polycentricity was introduced into China as a planning concept. Subsequently a number of super/mega city regions began to adopt polycentric development spatial planning strategies, which are designed to facilitate more sustainable and balanced development. This paper seeks to identify the main differences in application of polycentricity between China and the West, and explore the major emerging thematic strands of polycentric development practice, as illustrated through an evaluation of master planning in eight super/mega city regions across China. In particular, the paper highlights the divergent interpretations of polycentricity in master plan-making practice and shows how plans have been adjusted to help deliver the idea of polycentric development. Although the concept of polycentricity is relatively new in China, it has already become a normative approach used to determine future spatial structures. While there is an absence of an articulated rationality to ‘decide’ whether this is (or should be) an ‘ideal’ model, already it has gone beyond Western approaches of initially using polycentricity as an interpretative tool to describe urban realities.

Title: Where is urban food policy in Switzerland? A frame analysis
Abstract: 
 Food is increasingly included on the urban agenda in many countries, and comprehensive food policies have been developed in several cities, but the development of articulate urban food policies is still in its infancy in Switzerland. The goal of this paper is to explore the ways in which food is framed in official policies in Switzerland and thereby gain a better understanding of the potential for the development of urban food policies. The analysis is based on a case study approach focusing on the formal frames of food: reconstructed from official policy documents on agriculture, food, health, environment, and planning, at the federal and the local level. The results show that ‘urban food’ is not a major topic in most policy documents and that the dominant frame of food is economic. There is a clear distinction between the rural and the urban, and there were no frames integrating (rural) food production and (urban) consumption, across the city’s departments, or between the local and the federal level. We can conclude that there is not yet a comprehensive urban food policy in Switzerland. The analysis further allows the nomination of two possible pathways to guide the development of coherent and integrative urban food policies.

Title: Contextualizing transport infrastructure and services in Ghanaian peri-urbanism
Abstract: 
 This study interrogates the demand and supply of transport infrastructure and services in peri-urban areas of Sunyani Municipality in Ghana. Structured one-on-one interviews were conducted with 100 households across three peri-urban communities in Sunyani (Abesim-Kyidom, Asuakwaa and Adomako). Findings revealed that a majority of peri-urban households (84%) in the study communities who commute daily to and from the city centre are faced with poor transport infrastructure (e.g. poor conditions of road) and unreliable services (e.g. unregulated public transport). Inadequate investment in transport infrastructure and services by the Ghanaian government, the limited activity locations in peri-urban areas, and the concentration of activity locations at the city centre were identified to be contributing to the poor state of transport infrastructure and services in the case study communities. Policy recommendations to improve the situation are further proffered.

Title: Bicycle urbanism as a competitive advantage in the neoliberal age: the case of bicycle promotion in Portland
Abstract: 
 In the light of the emergent ‘bicycle renaissance’ in the US, this paper analyses the rationale basis of bicycle role model, Portland's promotion of bicycling. By conceptualizing bicycle promotion as a ‘travelling idea’, the paper discusses the key rationales and discourses structuring how bicycle policies are translated into the City of Portland. The study finds that strong neoliberal rationales such as competitiveness, cost-effectiveness, and value for money are pivotal in Portland's legitimization of spending on bicycle promotion, with sustainability and equity concerns being comparatively neglected. It is argued that this approach raises serious questions about the bicycle's potential as an egalitarian and sustainable practice, and urges potential ‘bicycle cities’ and advocates to be aware of the incommensurability of the creative class strategy and environmental justice goals.

Title: Metropolitan region policies in the European Union: following national, European or neoliberal agendas?
Abstract: 
 The paper depicts the emergence of metropolitan region policies in Europe as being linked to the globalization debate and demonstrates how the idea of supporting metropolitan regions as national growth engines appeared to become not only an element of European regional policy but has appeared more and more in national urban policies as well. We propose to regard the diffusion of the underlying spatial development ideas as being linked to Europeanization processes as a form of transnational socialization and learning. We demonstrate how the urban dimension has been more and more strengthened in EU regional policies since the early 1990s and how influential some national level policies might have been for the European level. Some new member states show recent shifts towards more neoliberal development models arguing for more competitiveness through metropolization. We propose that this interrelates to a general shift towards the paradigm of a regional policy based on growth potentials and competitiveness across the EU. While the cohesion objective is nevertheless maintained, there seems to be a widespread consensus among policy-makers in Europe that to a certain extent the metropolitan paradigm is a logical and unavoidable result of economic transformation and globalization and is needed to achieve overall competitiveness.

Title: Metropolitan region building and territorial development in Budapest: the role of national policies
Abstract: 
 This paper investigates the role of national policies in the process of metropolization and metropolitan region building in Budapest. In the long term, the example of Budapest clearly shows the twists and turns of national policy-making between concentration to increase competitiveness and equal distribution designed to enhance social integration. The geographical and geopolitical position of Budapest has altered significantly since the collapse of communism. From the periphery of Moscow, the city and its hinterland became a political, economic and cultural centre of Central Europe. Therefore, it is an intriguing question if national policies actively build on the role of Budapest as engine of economic restructuring and a gateway to the global flows of capital and innovation. The paper provides a critical analysis of current policies with special attention to the process of metropolitan region building. As research findings show, policy-making in Hungary has not focused on metropolisation and metropolitan region building in the last two decades. Policy-making has had a clear follow-up character and decision-makers from the administrative side could not efficiently contribute to metropolisation and enhance the competitiveness of the metropolitan region.

Title: Metropolitan integration in Poland: the case of Poznań Metropolis
Abstract: 
 The political and socio-economic transition in Poland brought many spatial problems, including dynamic processes of suburbanization around the bigger cities, which require metropolitan-wide approach. But the national metropolitan reform process is still in an initial stage, and the only form of integrated governance in urban areas is provided by some bottom-up initiatives based on the cooperation of local governments. While the experience of ‘top-down’ approach to metropolitan region building in Poland is too short and incomplete in context of its impact on territorial polarization at the national level, the ‘bottom-up’ initiatives of local governments for metropolitan integration are key instruments to more balanced development and territorial cohesion within the metropolitan areas. In terms of metropolitan integration, the case study – Poznań Metropolis – is one of the most interesting examples for an evolutionary way from informal to legally binding institutional arrangements of urban–suburban cooperation.

Title: Responsible cruise tourism and regeneration: the case of Nanaimo, British Columbia, Canada
Abstract: 
 Cruise ship tourism continues to grow faster than other tourism sectors globally, with increasing potential benefits for cruise destinations, which seek to boost tourism revenue for instance by developing passenger terminals and associated infrastructure. However, there is a growing awareness of the need for ‘responsible cruise tourism’ in view of the costs of cruise ship tourism to host communities. The case of Nanaimo in British Columbia, Canada, illustrates these issues in terms of the management of cruise ship tourism and associated socio-economic benefits and costs, with implications for policy and practice in other contexts.

Title: Spatial divided campus: divided spatial subculture?
Abstract: 
 The culture of the higher education institution should influence the planning and positioning of that institution. However, differences in subcultures between main campuses and their satellite campuses should also be considered. The identified differences underline how radical these strategic positing differences might be on campus communities. Qualitative interviews with students from and trends that emerged from enrolment and completion statistics from the relevant institutional research office provided the data. Differences in the subcultures indicated a potentially dramatic influence in the strategic planning and positioning of the institution among the influence of internationalization, globalization, commodification and massification. Higher education leaders are encouraged to practice knowledge-based planning and positioning, by considering the difference in subcultures in order to capitalize on the strength of their diversity. The ability to value diverse perspectives allows the flourishing of separate and unique subcultures, while contributing to the achievement of a larger purpose.

Title: Planning for dynamic cities: introducing a framework to understand urban change from a complex adaptive systems approach
Abstract: 
 Planning for dynamic cities is a perennial problem that continues to grow in importance in a rapidly changing world. This paper presents a conceptual framework to understand urban change through a complex adaptive systems approach. This framework includes a process of (1) describing the system through setting boundaries and identifying the properties of the system, (2) identifying the patterns of change across scales and (3) mapping the change over time. The framework firstly, offers a tool to urban planners to approach some of the complexities of urban change and secondly, a foundation to engage with the challenge of developing alternative sustainable development models that are able to deal with the reality of complex, dynamic and interconnected urban systems and to cope with change and uncertainty in ways that build positive resilience and support regenerative design and development.

Title: Planning decentralization and changing paradigm of Indian planning process
Abstract: 
 Economists have opined that decentralization of governance promotes growth and development. The governance and development discourse continues to embrace citizen participation as a fundamental mechanism for building local capacity towards poverty reduction and socio-economic interface. The decentralization process – as well as the process of planning, in particular – has brought about dramatic changes in the context of central and local-level relationships, which in turn have generated a tremendous impact on local-level planning and development. The planning process has been continuously changing over different period of time since the independence of India. This paper attempts to analyse the planning decentralization and change in planning processes. The decentralization of planning results in the grass-root-level development with active as well as democratic participation of people in the planning process of local governments. The paper provides a generalized model for achieving development from grass-root level through an integrated plan which in combination will result in development at bigger spatial unit, popularly known as bottom-up planning.

Title: Dutch and American waterway development: identification and classification of instruments for value creation
Abstract: 
 Waterways can serve society in a variety of ways. However, authorities responsible for maintenance and development of waterways often have a sectoral focus. They strive for cost-efficient solutions within their restricted scope; broader development of socio-economic value receives little attention. This can be seen in, e.g. the Netherlands and the USA. Both countries have strong national authorities responsible for the navigation function of waterways. The societal call for broader optimization is recognized, but a systemized response to this call is lacking. Nevertheless, both authorities make attempts towards increasing the socio-economic value of their capital waterway projects by deploying instruments for broader optimization. Six recent cases, in which such attempts were made, are studied with the aim of identifying and classifying the instruments deployed. Identification and classification are needed to evaluate where gaps and opportunities lie for more systemized responses. From these cases, a total of 15 instruments are identified which stimulated broad optimization. These instruments are classified by identifying the transaction characteristics associated with these instruments. The results show overlaps and voids in the domains these instruments address. For practitioners, the results can be helpful to navigate through the planning and implementation phase of waterway projects.

Title: An imperfect modernity – Guangzhou’s CBD project
Abstract: 
 Modernization is a fundamental driver of Chinese governmental projects, exemplified by renewed cityscapes; however, recent modernity projects often fail to achieve stated objectives. The CBD project of Guangzhou, a typical flagship modernity project, exemplifies the contained and all-encompassing urbanism of contemporary Chinese urban planning with its exclusionary social character, distinctive features and visual signifiers. Efforts at redefining place for the modernity project increasingly encounter opposition and obstacle, as in the embedded enclave of the early reform years, Liuyun Xiaoqu. These remains of an earlier vision for modern Guangzhou are now the unintended centrepiece of the whole CBD project, increasingly difficult to dislodge. This paper examines the CBD project as an exemplar of Asian modernity to enquire how the embedded enclave of Liuyun Xiaoqu developed a symbiotic relationship with the government project. The case demonstrates the great difficulty of carrying out in toto grand modernity schemes in China, due in large measure to the power of local communities to challenge their social composition and architectural vision. The greenfield CBD development in China after 2001 becomes an increasingly standardized form of enclave even as the possibility of achieving the vision becomes increasingly difficult.

Title: ‘Land for infrastructure’ in Ho Chi Minh City: land-based financing of transportation improvement
Abstract: 
 This paper explores how land-based financing mechanisms are currently used in Ho Chi Minh City as a public-private funding strategy. The Land-for-Infrastructure (LFI) mechanism appears as a solution to produce infrastructures. We found that the implementation of the LFI mechanism remains difficult, but eventually can lead to success. By ‘trial-error-transcend,’ the City managed to build two essential roads while the developers received attractive investment opportunities in urban development. This mechanism cannot, however, be seen as a panacea for the local authorities due to constraints to replicate it and potential undesired ‘side effects.’

Title: Planning scholarship and the fetish about planning in Southern Africa: the case of Zimbabwe’s operation Murambatsvina
Abstract: 
 Contributing to the resurgent debate on urban informality in the global south, Kamete (2013) charged that urban planners in Southern Africa have a fetish about informality that is fuelled by an obsession with modernity. In these and other writings, Zimbabwe’s 2005 Operation Murambatsvina (OM) is used as a prototype planning malfeasance. Using the concept of fetish and fetishism, this paper argues that a fixation on and fetish about planning and planners has led some planning scholars to churn out misplaced or misleading understandings of OM regarding the role of planning (in) the operation. Inevitably, recommendations for planning reform from such scholarship are largely inefficacious. It is time planning scholars looked seriously beyond planning for both analytical tools and space for political activism.

Title: Public perceptions of stakeholder influence on Australian metropolitan and local plans
Abstract: 
 Public participation and engagement is a central element of the Australian planning system at both the metropolitan and local scales. However, despite academic and practitioner debates around the best time for and method of engagement, there is a lack of research which examines the wider public perceptions of the planning system. It is these wider perceptions which set the context for public participation. The particular focus of this paper is on public perceptions about the influence of various interest groups on what is incorporated into metropolitan and local plans. The perceived influenced of four stakeholder groups is examined: individual developers; developer lobby groups; resident opponents; and, residents (general public). The research reveals that a large proportion of the public is critical of the influence of private sector actors and resident opponents, and cynical over the level of influence residents have on planning documents. These perceptions emerge as significant barriers to public engagement, no matter what the method or theoretical foundation.

Title: Foreign direct investment flows and urban dynamics in a developing country: a case study of Korean activities in Suzhou, China
Abstract: 
 This paper provides some new perspectives on the way that Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) influences local urban growth in recipient cities, via a case study of Korean firms in Suzhou, China. An agglomeration of firms, comprising a part of the global production network of Korean firms, provided employment in knowledge intensive manufacturing which has had significant flow-on effects expressed in the co-location of Korean service activities, and a Korean expatriate community. The paper argues that this outcome has been shaped by particular institutional settings which facilitated the agglomerations of inter-related firms and the creation of higher standards of urban liveability. The interaction of these factors means that the effect of FDI on cities can extend beyond the old image of low-wage production labour and low-cost housing, so creating a new planning agenda for cities in developing countries. The Suzhou experience provides a potential blueprint for local policy and planning responses to magnify the impact of FDI projects.

Title: The birth of a nationalistic planning doctrine: the ‘Skopje 2014’ project
Abstract: 
 The article proposes that the politically driven planning of a city centre urban renewal project in Skopje, Macedonia, titled ‘Skopje 2014’, due to its coherent manifestation and wide impact, can be seen as a newly formed planning doctrine. From the loosely defined but consistent practices surrounding the project, the article deduces the unofficial imposed principles of the doctrine, as well as its legal implications and spatial consequences. Through the ‘Skopje 2014’ case study, the complex relationship between urban planning and national politics is discussed, with a focus on the emergence of planning doctrines as a consequence of state ideologies. The terminology ‘nationalistic planning doctrine’is suggested as one reflecting the political backbone and origin of the ‘Skopje 2014’ project and the doctrine behind it. The article aims to respond to a call from Oren Yiftachel to contribute to the debates on planning theory from the South-East, as opposed to the mainstream planning theory that has predominantly been based on the conditions of global North-West cities (2006), and suggests that the role of nationalism in urban space and planning policy could be, in many contexts, a crucial element of grounded planning theories from the South-East.

Title: The influence of metropolitan integration and type of HSR connections on developments around stations. The case of cities within one hour from Madrid and Paris
Abstract: 
 The paper discusses the influence of metropolitan integration and high-speed rail (HSR) connections on urban development around HSR stations situated at networks centred on the capital. This paper analyses HSR cities located up to 1 hour from the metropolitan centres of Madrid and Paris. New findings are presented concerning the development of HSR station surroundings, arriving at specific rules that include not only station locations and city characteristics but also the available types of HSR networks/services and distance from the metropolis. The paper also works to expand the discussion about the relevance of radial versus tangential relationships in urban and regional spatial planning.

Title: Social planning and local welfare. The experience of the Italian area social plan
Abstract: 
 This article analyses the Italian experience of planning and governance in local welfare systems, after the adoption of a specific planning instrument called the ‘Piano di Zona’ (Area Social Plan), which has reached its sixth triennial review. Our goal is to explore the relationship between governance and performance by examining under which circumstances the social planning is successful, that is one Area Social Plan is preferable to another. Our research is based on the empirical observation of the nine Area Social Plans in the Province of Pavia which involves 188 municipalities. Our results demonstrate the fundamental role of public administrations and the negative effects that horizontal multi-level forms of governance may have on the planning of the Area Social Plan, almost as though there were a sort of path dependence from previous/pre-existing governance relationships.

Title: The climate change mitigation potential of Algiers URT through mode shift from the car to rail – assessing CO2 emissions reductions on the basis of savings in fuel consumption
Abstract: 
 This paper attempts to assess the potential of a transport policy to mitigate climate change by assessing the impacts of urban rail transit (URT) investments on travel mode choice and carbon dioxide emission reductions in Algiers, the capital city of Algeria. The objectives are: (1) to assess the extent of travel mode change from private automobiles to rail for commuting trips as an effect of the URT operation; (2) to identify complementary measures which might be adopted to enhance the effect of the URT; and (3) to quantify the CO2 emission reductions on the basis of the fuel saved per person as a result of the travel mode change that occurred, following the IPCC guideline methodologies. A questionnaire survey of the URT users was conducted to observe the behavioural changes. Positive effects of rail projects in terms of attracting car users to the new travel modes have been evidenced, resulting in a significant extent of carbon emission reductions, which signifies a contribution to sustainable urban mobility and climate change mitigation. The findings also show reinforcing effects of both fuel price increases and parking restrictions on mitigating transport-related carbon emissions.

Title: Planning amid crisis and austerity: in, against and beyond the contemporary conjuncture
Abstract: 
 This article introduces the special issue ‘Planning amid crisis and austerity: in, against and beyond the contemporary juncture’. It starts by acknowledging two limits of the existing body of literature on the planning/crisis/austerity nexus: on the one hand, the excessive reliance on cases at the ‘core’ of the financial crisis of 2007–2008, with impacts on the understanding of austerity as a response to economic crises; and, on the other, the limited attention given to the impacts of austerity on planning, and their implications for planning practice and research. Based on the contributions in the special issue, the article reflects on some lessons learned: first, the need for a more nuanced understanding of the multiple geographies and temporalities of crisis and austerity; second, the problematic standing of planning practice and research in the face of crisis and austerity; and, third, the potential and limitations of (local) responses and grassroots mobilizations in shaping alternatives.

Title: Austerity in reverse: Korea, capabilities, and crisis
Abstract: 
 Development is austerity in reverse. And austerity is development in reverse, a form of de-development. This paper argues that austerity is a neoliberal technology for returning countries to positive economic growth that reduces social spending and thereby reverses development. Drawing on Sen and Nussbaum's human capabilities approach, an exploration of Korea's development since 1960 supports this and three additional claims. First, the expansion of capabilities in Korea is tied to democratization and exponential increases in social spending. Second, Korea's experience with financial crises and austerity programmes demonstrate that increased social spending is compatible with rapid recovery. Third, Korea's roll out of neoliberal technologies and economic transformation since the 1980s have undermined the capabilities developed during earlier industrialization. Fourth, the importance of housing as a vital tool for political legitimation, especially since democratization, has sustained political interest in providing better housing, suggesting that social movements are essential to protecting social spending.

Title: Global urbanism and mega events planning in Rio de Janeiro amid crisis and austerity
Abstract: 
 Putting Milton Santos’ theorisations in conversation with post-colonial conceptualization of global urbanism, the paper discusses the legacy of mega-events planning in Rio de Janeiro in times of austerity, through the prism of the nexus between globalization and urbanism. Three main interrelated dimensions of the Carioca global urbanism and of the clash between global aspirations and local realities are highlighted and discussed in order to challenge dominant conceptualization of both mega-events planning and austerity urbanism: a) the mobilization of an ensemble of high-tech fantasies as globalist imaginaries of urban planning; b) a complex reconfiguration of the core–periphery geographies of knowledge as a key trait of a perverse globalization; (c) a multitude of discourses and practices of insurgent urbanism as a source of radical imagination against the imperatives of austerity.

Title: The deep roots of austere planning in Memphis, TN: is the fox guarding the hen house?
Abstract: 
 US cities operate amid a longstanding notion that excessive government impedes prosperity. Here post–recession austerity did not trigger new retrenchment, but instead exacerbated an existing vacuum of the public. In cities like Memphis, institutional or community–led planning cannot confront austerity by going back to something it was before the recession. Instead, genuine public planning must be invented ex novo, exploring why planning agencies have not truly been able to act for the benefit of all. The recent launch of Memphis' first city–led comprehensive planning effort in decades provides an opportunity for reflection. This article examines whether a new emphasis on planning in Memphis represents a positive disruption of the status quo or a merely a disguised continuation of growth–machine motives. The findings argue for the need to work on the small signs of authentic interest in public planning as a starting point for new anti–austere courses of action.

Title: Spatial planning amid crisis. The deepening of neoliberal logic in Germany
Abstract: 
 The paper shows why German spatial planning is neoliberalized after the 2007 global economic crisis. Drawing on historical materialist theory the paper provides a conceptual framework for the analysis of spatial planning in Germany and gives an empirical insight into German spatial planning on the national scale in the aftermath of the crisis. It shows that the crisis affected Germany only for a short time. Hence, the crisis deepened existing patterns of spatial development and as the analysis of the spatial planning discourse in the German parliament shows, spatial planners and politicians perceived the crisis as an intensifier of existing spatial developments. Thus, they saw no reason to change the previous neoliberal spatial planning strategies of endogenous development and supporting metropolitan regions. Therefore, German national spatial planning discourse was neoliberalized after the global crisis.

Title: Spatial planning and territorial governance in Southern Europe between economic crisis and austerity policies
Abstract: 
 This article examines how spatial planning systems have changed in Portugal, Spain, Italy and Greece in times of economic recession and austerity politics, in amid pressures of external actors, and local conditions and traditions. We analyse the round of reforms of spatial planning and territorial governance implemented by national governments under pressures by European institutions, as well as local responses to them. On the one hand, we highlight how European institutions have used the conditionalities attached to bailout packages and other instrument of pressure to frame what can be considered an implicit Southern European spatial planning policy developed by the European Union. On the other, we suggest that Southern European planning amid crisis and austerity should be understood, together, as field that problematizes the idea of Europeanization of planning; a space used as ‘prototype’ for new rounds of neoliberalization; and a political space that continuously develops through top-down/bottom-up dialectic conflicts.

Title: The auste-city model and bio-political strategies: re-visiting the urban space of Athens (Greece) during the crisis
Abstract: 
 This article offers a depiction of Athens focused on the consequences that the initial round of Memoranda measures (2012–2015) produced on its urban space. On a theoretical level, a strategic function of the Greek capital is posited, seeing it as an urban laboratory for testing debt policies; accordingly, the primary focus is on the neoliberal agenda set in motion there, mainly consisting of the combination of privatization programmes and the securitization of urban space. Consequently, some of the emerging critical issues – i.e. Rethink Athens and the cases of the Akadimia Platonos, Ellinikò and Aghios Panteleimonas neighbourhoods, alongside the most relevant bio-political tactics of social control - are encapsulated within a specific model of governance, named auste-city and specifically targeted at normalizing the ‘extraordinary’ state of economic crisis into an ultimate rule. The conclusion is that austerity is currently disclosing an opportunity for neoliberal forces to reorganize their own dominion.

 In Berlin, Rome and Barcelona, three cities affected on different levels by the most recent wave of neoliberalisation and the global crisis, a rekindled interest in the strategies for the (re)appropriation of urban space has emerged among urban activists, as a way of resisting and challenging competitive oriented policies and austerity urbanism. The following three cases are hereby analysed in detail: the Flughafen (airport) Tempelhof in Berlin; the former Snia factory in Rome; the Can Batlló old industrial complex in Barcelona. The practices of resistance that have played out over these contended vacant public spaces have emphasized the limits of the current urban ideology in proposing alternative ways of doing things. Embodying the growing mistrust towards policy-makers and the intentions of institutional actors, these contentious urban practices have aimed to (re)politicise urban policies, planning and theoretical debates but face complex issues of institutionalisation that can co-opt and neutralize radical claims.

Title: Urban planning, austerity, and resistance
Abstract: 
 Austerity is a common method by which capitalists and governments discipline cities. Cities, neighbourhood residents, and social movements often resist.

Title: Spatial challenges in contemporary African New Towns and potentials for alternative planning strategies
Abstract: 
 New Towns in development across Africa are overwhelmingly designed according to twentieth-century planning models ranging from functionalist Chinese grids to American gated communities. Contemporary African New Towns based on these models are often unable to adapt to stimuli and, as a result, exacerbate both spatial and ecological challenges. The objective of this paper is to argue that African New Towns require a substantial shift from current practice and that planners must imagine new, hybrid planning strategies. This paper takes an exploratory approach and identifies the spatial challenges specific to contemporary African New Towns. Building on the argument that planning benefits from linkages between critical social theory and environmental science, this paper asserts that an adaptive urban planning approach that effectively engages citizens can be a more sustainable alternative to current practice. The paper concludes with implications for future research on the translation of challenges into potentials for African New Towns.

Title: The Spatial Development Framework to facilitate urban management in countries with weak planning systems
Abstract: 
 There is an urgent need to develop strategic spatial planning methods adapted to the conditions of countries with weak planning systems facing rapid urbanization. These methods should allow evaluating the territorial qualities of the system of cities and to meaningfully guiding the implementation of national urban policies or strategies. In this context, the United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UNHabitat) has developed the Spatial Development Framework (SDF) method, which is presented here for the first time, after having been tested in different countries. The SDF method helps to develop an understanding of the roles and inter-linkages of various urban settlements in the territory and to frame the territorial structure in a context of fluidity and uncertainty typical of countries facing uncontrolled urbanization. The method is then discussed and conclusions for the way forward are drawn.

Title: Shenzhen: satellite city or city of satellites?
Abstract: 
 The term ‘satellite city’ can be applied at multiple scales and with multiple meanings. In this article, the Chinese city of Shenzhen will be viewed both as a satellite city at the (mega)city-level, and as a city consisting of many sub-city satellites. In the first years after becoming China’s first Special Economic Zone, Shenzhen developed as a satellite city not only of its neighbour Hong Kong, but also of Beijing, as the first zone of experiments with ‘capitalism with socialist characteristics’. In later development stages the city has emancipated to also become a centre in its own right. At the same time, however, Shenzhen is a ‘city of satellites’, comprising many sub-centres that could also be seen as satellites themselves. After exploring Shenzhen as a whole as a satellite city of Hong Kong, Beijing and other ‘external influencers’, we will discuss three examples of different types of sub-city satellites: OCT, Shekou/Qianghai, and Guangming New Town.

Title: Songdo IBD (International Business District): experimental prototype for the city of tomorrow?
Abstract: 
 Hailed as a cutting-edge, ‘smart city’, Songdo IBD (International Business District) is considered by its promoters to be the most ambitious master-planned project since Brasília. Built entirely from scratch on reclaimed land, this city-building project includes a high-rise central business district, an assortment of upscale residential housing, and luxury tourist venues. Our case study approach allows us to avoid deductive theorizing that forces us, on a priori grounds, to either celebrate Songdo as an exemplary expression of ‘smart urbanism’ or dismiss it as fraudulent masquerade. Looking at the design motifs, planning principles, and discourses behind Songdo enables us to critically assess the dynamics leading to the production of the spatially disjointed, socially disconnected metropolises that have blossomed at the start of the twenty-first century. While sharing many features with other similar projects, Songdo IBD is distinct in its commitment to forging what its boosters see as a near-technological utopia.

Title: The role of Planning Support Systems in national policy transfer and policy translation in secondary cities
Abstract: 
 Rwanda has developed a National Urbanization Policy (NUP) that identifies six secondary citieswhere efforts to promote urbanization and economic growth should focus. To implement it, a Spatial Development Framework (SDF) was developed, that makes use of Planning Support Systems (PSS) to communicate the goals to the local level. PSS present opportunities for stakeholders to understand and translate national policies to their local planning contexts. This paper questions how the SDF’s PSS tools can be used in the NUP’s transfer and translation to the local level. It focuses on potential users of the SDF. Results suggest that SDF’s PSS tools and outcomes can promote better spatial understanding, and communicate planning needs, strengthening regional competition andeconomic development among the secondary cities and in line with NUP. We conclude that the national government can use vertical transfer and horizontal translation to transfer the SDF’S PSS tools and outcomes to secondary cities.

Title: The conditional city: emerging properties of Kenya’s satellite cities
Abstract: 
 Satellite cities in Kenya are driven by belief in economic growth driven by emerging middle classes and investors. As visionary policy objects they help inform national economic policies and spatial planning strategies such as Kenya’s Vision 2030. State and private investments required for their planned realization however remains elusive. This paper examines the emergent planning process of four satellite cities in Kenya based on interviews with key stakeholders and extensive document analysis. In their suspended states awaiting investment and development, these cities contend with ‘ordinary city’ dynamics. They start to articulate with changes in the political and institutional landscape and state-led decentralization initiatives. Our findings show how these cities represent an unwieldy blend of private and public elements that is shaped largely as a result of ‘statist alignments.’ In conclusion, we nuance the common conceptualization of satellite cities as planning contexts for expansion of neoliberal, speculative development and global city-making.

Title: Greater Accra’s new urban extension at Ningo-Prampram: urban promise or urban peril?
Abstract: 
 New private property investments in Africa’s cities are on the rise, often manifested as comprehensively planned urban extensions. Greater Accra has several competing city projects under development, potentially launching new city-making trajectories and competitive struggles among rival projects. This article assesses the rationale and early evolution of Ghana’s largest, most ambitious project the Ningo-Prampram Urban Extension, aiming to accommodate 1.5 million people. Supported by UN-Habitat, international consultants, government, and local Chiefs, the constellation of actors supports a public-private partnership to engage in urban entrepreneurialism, underpinned by sustainable development features and promising increased global connectivity. However, this project raises socio-spatial contradictions with regard to how affordable housing, an airport city and other developments can augment Accra’s development. Global economy articulation as well as intra-city connectivity is promised but at its peril it amplifies sprawl so that the Accra City Region evolves into a string of beads along the Trans-West African Highway.

Title: Satellite cities turned to ghost towns? On the contradictions of Morocco’s spatial policy
Abstract: 
 A megaproject of new cities was launched in Morocco in 2004. According to public discourses, it was aimed at easing congestion in big cities and address the considerable deficit in social housing. A decade later, the recorded achievements appear much lower compared to the declared ambitions, to the point of provoking strong political and social oppositions. An analysis of the megaprojects’ implementation sheds light on the contradictions in the megaproject's objectives, seen through the example of the new city of Tamesna.

Title: Planning Ciudad Guayana, an industrial new town in oil-rich Venezuela
Abstract: 
 Ciudad Guayana was born as an industrial new town in the early 1960s, as an ambitious national effort to stimulate the regional development of Venezuela. Its planning was the fruit of a unique partnership between the Venezuelan development agency (CVG) and the Joint Center for Urban Studies from Harvard University and the MIT. Looking for answers to the rapid urbanization issues, the academic planners were willing to test the latest planning and design approaches on the field, implementing several experimental projects. Ciudad Guayana became a useful urban laboratory that provided important urban lessons. Based on literature research, archival research at MIT and Harvard, and interviews with planners working on both teams, this paper presents how the two teams approached, debated and clashed about four significant challenges of building the new town. Ciudad Guayana provided important urban lessons, useful for similar kind of new towns and satellite cities, as the ones currently emerging in Asia, Africa and the Middle East.

Title: ‘Urban entrepreneurialism’ in the Post-socialist City: Government-led Urban Development Projects in Kazan, Russia
Abstract: While the dominance of urban entrepreneurialism, governance and competitiveness in Western cities has been well documented, much less is known about the drivers and mechanisms of urban development in the Russian context. This article examines the role of the local state in urban development under the conditions of post-socialist transition in the Russian Federation. The article focuses on the Special Federal Programme for the Preservation and Development of the Kazan Historic Centre (2001–2005). The study challenges the assumption of a key role of partnership between the public and the private sector. Under conditions of post-socialism, the state may have sufficient economic resources and the capacity to govern which may make the role of public–private partnership less relevant. Other findings are as follows: (i) the local authorities play a leading role in entrepreneurialism; (ii) there is a mismatch between the entrepreneurial rhetoric and reality; (iii) while the authorities in Kazan engage in ‘entrepreneurial urbanism’, the similarities with Western cities are superficial or even deceptive, due to the underlying political and economic conditions of Russian cities.

Title: The Value of Cittaslow as an Approach to Local Sustainable Development: A New Zealand Perspective
Abstract: Cittaslow is an Italian-inspired global network of towns that collectively resist globalization and mainstream corporate-centred development through planning and urban design that prioritize each town's local, unique and historic resources. Internationally, Cittaslow's regulations-for-action approach has assisted towns to more effectively implement sustainable development principles. This paper presents research from three New Zealand case-study towns, to assess the potential application of Cittaslow principles to aid sustainable development and economic growth in small towns. The findings revealed that planners and community members generally perceived Cittaslow as a superfluous ‘brand’ that imposed additional unnecessary regulations and an approach that lacked general community support.

Title: Strategic Spatial Planning: Responding to Diverse Territorial Development Challenges: Towards an Inductive Comparative Approach
Abstract: The concept of strategic spatial planning has come to represent a particular concern to broaden the scope and enhance the governance capacity of spatial policy and practice in a European context. It is increasingly evident, however, that the concept represents a diversity of multifaceted and fragmented practices, confounding assumed narratives of Europeanization and policy convergence. This article seeks to move towards a context-sensitive, inductive understanding of spatial planning in a territorially diverse Europe. Emphasis is placed on the need for critical comparative studies to assess the capacity of spatial strategies in practice to respond to diverse territorial development challenges.

Title: Negotiating Within the Context of Planning Reform: Public and Private Reflections from New South Wales, Australia
Abstract: The process of negotiation has long been recognized as central in plan creation and development assessment. Nevertheless, the appropriateness and willingness to engage in negotiated planning and development outcomes varies between planning systems, development locations and individuals. On one hand, negotiation is seen to facilitate responsive planning outcomes that recognize the unique institutional and development environment. Alternatively, the process of negotiation has been identified as one that delays plan making and development assessment, while simultaneously opening the door for corruption and regulatory capture. Drawing on the reflections and experiences of senior local council officers and private development actors, this article explores the process of negotiation in development assessment in New South Wales (NSW), Australia. Within the context of neoliberal planning reform in NSW, the article explores the appropriateness and willingness of different types of councils and developers to pursue negotiated outcomes. The article also identifies the types of developments/developers councils are more likely to negotiate with, and explores how the process of planning reform constrains the scope for negotiated outcomes.

Title: Back to Von Thunen: a Southern European perspective on mono-centric urban growth, economic structure and non-urban land decline
Abstract: 
 This study assesses trends (1960–2010) in forest cover over a Mediterranean metropolitan region (Attica, Greece) with the aim to investigate the role of local contexts promoting changes in the use of land. Forest cover decreased in a spatially heterogeneous manner over the study period determining a land-use structure coherent with the Von Thunen mono-centric model. We used a multivariate exploratory analysis of 26 contextual variables to identify changes in the urban spatial structure at the local scale. The shift from a land-use structure based on urban–rural and cropland-forest polarizations in the early 1960s to a pattern based on the polarization in medium-density, mixed urban/agricultural areas and low-density, sparse forest land has been observed in the last 50 years. Urban expansion into rural land and the establishment of protected areas in economically marginal and remote districts has been identified as relevant drivers of landscape transformation in the area. Our study demonstrates that land-use changes driven by expansion of dispersed settlements may consolidate mono-centric urban structures. A concentric land-use distribution around the central city is compatible with urban sprawl and may be indirectly supported by ‘green belt’ regional planning and environmental policies protecting high-quality natural land.

Title: Planning and the communal state: interpreting community participation in Caracas
Abstract: 
 The paper adopts an interpretive institutionalist framework [Hay (2011), “Interpreting Interpretivism Interpreting Interpretations: The New Hermeneutics of Public Administration.” Martin (2015), “‘Ahora tienen que escucharnos’ [now they have to listen to us]: Actors’ Understandings and Meanings of Planning Practices in Venezuela’s ‘Participatory Democracy.” PhD Thesis, Cardiff University, to unpack participants’ involvement in communal councils (CCs) and a commune, two Venezuelan reforms seeking to incorporate citizens into planning processes. The paper focuses on how participants in La Silsa, an informal neighbourhood in Caracas, understood and enacted upon community planning opportunities provided by these new councils. Municipal and national government staff and finance heavily supported La Silsa’s emerging commune and CCs. Despite the national government’s rhetoric of ‘constructing a new socialist, communal state’, the article identifies several challenges need to be overcome to successfully shift from existing representative institutional/governmental arrangements towards more participatory repertoires. The article’s findings mirror those of other empirical studies of Latin America’s democratic innovations: citizen participation strengthens representative governmental arrangements, rather than replace them with normative alternatives.

Title: Developing strategic planning schemes for urban regeneration through mixed-use development in Seoul
Abstract: 
 Whilst the generic visions and directions of urban regeneration in cites are well documented, far less is understood about the strategic approaches to this issue which are being used in specific urban contexts. This paper investigates strategic planning schemes (SPSs) and visions for mixed-use development to support urban regeneration in Seoul (South Korea), using a combination of a literature review and a survey. The results contribute to understanding the construction of SPSs for future urban development as well as to improving strategic planning for urban regeneration on a wider scale.

Title: Communicative planning as counter-power
Abstract: 
 This article presents a theory of communicative planning in which the power of citizens is conceived as a resource in the promotion of long-term planning against the short-term interests of investors in public planning. Its point of departure is the depiction of three planning paradigms – traditional synoptic, incremental and participatory planning – and a critical discussion of different theories within the latter. In the light of this, it is argued that, in practice, planning authorities most often regard public participation as a problem, rather than as a potential. The article dismisses this conception and (a) conceptualizes planning on the basis of a Habermasian theory of communicative action and power, (b) shows that the participation of citizens is necessary to secure the inclusion of ethical and aesthetic rationalities in the planning process, and also that (c) citizens may constitute a counterpower to short-term investor interests in planning by (d) strengthening the respect for long-term solutions and the common good. This becomes a structural necessity when it comes to securing sustainability and democratic justice in planning. The article conceptualizes the difference between planning and politics, since in the former, power is constituted in the actual process, not given in advance.

Title: Delineating partnerships from other forms of collaboration in regional development planning
Abstract: 
 The idea of an all-encompassing partnership has vindicated all sorts of collaboration models to be articulated as partnerships although not occurring as ones, leaving practitioners and politicians of regional development planning with suboptimal ways of collaborating. Reviewing the partnership literature depicts similar difficulties in delineating partnerships from other collaboration models causing diversified messages about partnerships. In an attempt to invigorate the partnership literature by delineating partnerships from other forms of collaboration and thus progress the work and output of regional planning and development, this paper defines a partnership to be a promise of a promise denoting other collaborative models such as network, cluster and governance-partnership as a promise only. Based on qualitative interviews, discursive analyses and strategic documents, the comparative case analysis of two Danish regional development agencies shows how one remained as a governance-partnership while the other turned into a partnership by continuously creating possibilities for the groups of actors involved. This transformation from a promise only into a promise of a promise displays how to delineate partnerships from other forms of collaboration such as networks, clusters and governance-partnerships.

Title: Newspaper representation and power relations in infrastructure projects: a case study of Hong Kong’s Express Rail Link
Abstract: 
 This paper explores newspapers’ representation of different actors in infrastructure projects, and analyses the power relations between them through a case study in Hong Kong. The case in question is the highly controversial Express Rail Link, which connects Hong Kong to the extensive high-speed railway network in mainland China. It finds that under an immature democratic system, opponents’ political power and free press play important roles in forcing the government to make concessions outside the formal framework. The methodological framework employs a concept that takes media representation as a reflection of power [Van Dijk, Teun A. 1996. “Discourse, Power and Access.” In Texts and Practices: Readings in Critical Discourse Analysis, edited by Carmen Caldas-Coulthard and Malcolm Coulthard, 84–104. London: Routledge], and three theories seldom used in the planning field – Indexing Theory [Bennett, W. Lance. 1990. “Toward a Theory of Press-State Relations in the United States.” Journal of Communication 40 (2): 103–127. doi:10.1111/j.1460-2466.1990.tb02265.x], Agenda Setting Theory [McCombs, Maxwell E., and Donald L. Shaw. 1972. “The Agenda-Setting Function of Mass Media.” Public Opinion Quarterly 36 (2): 176–187] and Law of Anticipated Reactions [Zelditch, Morris, and John Ford. 1994. “Uncertainty, Potential Power, and Nondecisions.” Social Psychology Quarterly 57 (1): 64]. A new method for Critical Discourse Analysis, in the form of colour charts, is developed to portray the competition for representation in newspapers of different actors, paying special attention to power inequalities and which actors gain access to newspaper discourse and how they use it to convey specific messages. In this study, 500 newspaper articles (from two key newspapers – SCMP and Apple Daily) and 75 government publications in Hong Kong are analysed.

Title: Accountability and ecological sustainability challenges under NPM-based public sector-led urban development: four international comparative cases
Abstract: 
 This paper compares four different public sector-led urban development institutional arrangements within New Public Management (NPM)’s framework. The cases come from three European countries – Sweden, Finland and the Netherlands – and the Australian state of Victoria. These four jurisdictions, though distant, share much in terms of urban development processes and actors’ responsibilities within these processes, as well as legislation concerning urban development. In the comparison, emphasis is placed on addressing public accountability and ecological sustainability. Ecological sustainability is important to the public sector and urban development has a significant role in achieving more ecologically sustainable built environments. It was found out that steering the development projects is relevant to sustainability issues. Accountability needs to be addressed when forming single-purpose organizational arrangements, but the paper concludes that the examined organizations have no flaws in accountability. In examining these cases, it is assumed that all four operate in governance environments dictated by NPM’s methods, and their success is thus evaluated in that framework. There is little evidence so far of international comparative urban development research combining values and results achieved; or comparing cases from different jurisdictions.

Title: Taking responsibility for ‘shared responsibility’: urban planning for disaster risk reduction across different phases. Examining bushfire evacuation in Victoria, Australia
Abstract: 
 Urban planning has been increasingly recognized as a key mechanism for disaster risk reduction. Nevertheless, it has been difficult to translate this recognition into appropriate urban morphologies. Challenges still exist in working across the different phases involved in disaster management and in supporting the ongoing shift from top-down to shared responsibility risk reduction approaches. This paper examines these issues in the context of a bushfire emergency affecting three urban fringe communities in Bendigo, Victoria. The response activity of evacuation is studied with a computer agent-based model, demonstrating that: (1) complete evacuations take considerable time (30 min to 1 h); (2) urban form characteristics can have a noticeable impact on augmenting or decreasing this time and (3) it is possible for bushfires to overrun or surround settlements before this time. Existing ‘leave early’ policy is confirmed as appropriate, but further examination of the role of urban morphology during a bushfire disaster is required.

Title: Planning for Plural Groups? Villages-in-the-city Redevelopment in Guangzhou City, China
Abstract: This paper investigates how the plural needs of different groups are handled by redevelopment planning. Investigating the redevelopment of villages-in-the-city in Guangzhou, this paper examines how the differing interests of indigenous villagers are being considered and resolved through a local initiative – ‘one village one policy’. Case studies from three villages are drawn upon to examine how local conditions and concerns are being tackled in each village's respective redevelopment plan. Different degree of government intervention in the planning of the three villages suggests that local distinctiveness is defined by the authorities in accordance with their agenda. Further, the exclusion of migrant workers suggests their needs and interests are totally overlooked in the redevelopment process. The attempt to cope with the needs of different social groups, therefore, has remained insufficient.

Title: The Spatial Politics of Spatial Representation: Relationality as a Medium for Depoliticization?
Abstract: This paper explores the interplay between the spatial politics of new governance landscapes and innovations in the use of spatial representations in planning. The central premise is that planning experiments with new relational approaches become enmeshed in spatial politics. The case of strategic spatial planning in Denmark reveals how fuzzy spatial representations and relational spatial concepts are being used to depoliticize strategic spatial planning processes and to camouflage spatial politics. The paper concludes that, while relational geography might play an important role in building consensus, it plays an equal important role in supporting current neoliberal transformations of strategic spatial planning.

Title: In my Backyard! An Alternative Model for Solid Waste Management
Abstract: Solid waste management is one of the major urban problems in cities today. The issue is often most pressing when city governments have to manage in challenging financial, managerial and cultural contexts. Cities in India are no exception. Although some town and cities have implemented and reported good practices, the situation is far from resolved. This paper looks at solid waste management practices in one ward in the city of Kochi, Kerala. The findings from this case suggest a systemic organising principle – a fractal configuration – as conducive to solid waste management. This paper further suggests that the recurring principle in this fractal system can be extended to other systems that involve distance decay or time decay functions.

Title: Investigating Sub-state Interpretations of European Territorial Cohesion: The Case of the United Kingdom
Abstract: In recent years the meaning and different dimensions and implications of European territorial cohesion have been a matter of debate in some academic circles, amongst elements of the European Commission and in certain Member States and regions. In 2008, the European Commission published its ‘Green Paper on Territorial Cohesion’, launching a debate on the meaning of territorial cohesion and potential implications for European, Member State and sub-state policies. Informed by this context, this paper considers how the concept of territorial cohesion is being interpreted, and its meaning (re)constructed, by sub-state territories and actors in the United Kingdom.

Title: Residents' Benefits of Multi-functional Land-use Projects: A Stated Preference Approach to a Case Study in Amsterdam
Abstract: Urban re-development projects generate various positive as well as negative spatial externalities to the existing population in a given area. This study aims to assess the order of magnitude of the expected net benefits for incumbent residents from a large-scale project in the southern part of Amsterdam (the Netherlands), which is planned to transform the area into a large multi-functional urban centre. We employ a specific stated preference method (namely, a willingness-to-accept method) to assess the net socio-economic benefits for the population in the area concerned. Our approach explicitly considers perceived costs and benefits in the foreseen ‘end-states’ as well as those incurred during the transitional (construction) phase towards such end-states. It is concluded that the multi-functional urban re-development project under consideration is not supported by the residents in the area, as the long-run benefits are perceived to be overshadowed by the short-run environmental nuisances.

Title: From dysfunctional to destitute: the governance of regional economic development in Newfoundland and Labrador
Abstract: 
 On 22 May 2012, the federal government announced that it was discontinuing the funding for all regional economic development (RED) organizations in Atlantic Canada, including the regional economic development boards (REDBs) in Newfoundland and Labrador (NL). Shortly after the federal announcement the provincial government in NL also withdrew its financial support, which led to the demise of the REDBs across the province. In this paper, we critically explore the governance of RED in NL and examine the REDB approach and its subsequent demise using Stoker’s five propositions of governance. While the REDBs were conceived as a fundamentally ‘new regional economic development approach’, they were never granted the level of autonomy, support, and resources that was envisioned in this new approach. However, we argue that the demise of the REDBs has shifted the governance of RED from dysfunctional to destitute. These changes are also situated within a ‘retreat from rural’ policy agenda and devolved responsibilities to local levels of government across Canada and in NL.

Title: The use of urban climatology in local climate change strategies: a comparative perspective
Abstract: 
 This paper discusses the extent to which the science of urban climatology has informed local climate change strategies in four city case studies – Stuttgart, Tokyo, New York City, and Manchester. The paper draws on historical and contemporary policy documents along with 60 interviews with practitioners, city officials, politicians, and academics in order to understand the use or non-use of urban climatology science in local climate change strategies. It explores the historic successes and failures of urban climate management of the cities and how the impact of global climate change and perception of risk, local competency and capacity, national programmes, and the involvement of cities in networks influences the application, stabilization, and institutionalization of urban climatology into climate change strategies. It concludes by highlighting the high levels of variability present and potential reasons for local policy engagement or non-engagement in the use of urban climatology science.

Title: Sustainable urban development and green megaprojects in the Arab states of the Gulf Region: limitations, covert aims, and unintended outcomes in Doha, Qatar
Abstract: 
 Over the last decade, governments of the small Arab emirates in the Gulf region have invested billions of dollars in an attempt to foster rapid growth in their capital cities: the results have been truly dramatic and many of the urban centres in the region have been physically transformed. One interesting aspect of this growth is the fact that rhetoric about sustainability has apparently gained traction in the region, as evidenced by a plethora of urban megaprojects that are all carefully branded as green and sustainable. Urban developments in the Gulf have stimulated a spate of scholarly literature in a number of disciplines, and the debates are ongoing; this article will contribute to the discussion in several ways. It begins with a description of recent economic developments in the Gulf, and goes on to explore and expand the modern phenomenon of ‘instant urbanism’ as it applies to the region. We then compare two notable megaprojects in Doha and one in Abu Dhabi, closely analysing the rhetoric of sustainable urban development that surrounds each. We show the limitations of this rhetoric and uncover the covert aims of these projects, and suggest some of their unintended outcomes.

Title: Three  of innovation in public transport planning
Abstract: 
 The article scrutinizes planners’ stories of innovation in contemporary public transport planning in three Scandinavian contexts (Denmark, Sweden and Norway). This analysis is accomplished by adapting Judith Butler’s post-structural feminist critical theory on performativity to the planning context. This theoretical framework is used to illuminate how planning is dynamically renewed, revised and consolidated over time by the individual routine actions of planners. From this perspective, the research identifies a set of repetitive acts – as recognizing specific windows of opportunity, anticipate and respond to political signals and create arguments and means of communication and persuasion – that constitute the contemporary transformation of professional practice in relation to planning politics. This analytics of performativity reveals how professional planning practices engage with transformative capacities of reshaping, re-enacting and re-experiencing guidance for the future within a set of meanings and forms of legitimation. These findings are intended to contribute to present and future planning practice and education in Scandinavian countries and elsewhere.

Title: Modelling homeowners’ reactions to the placement of high voltage overhead transmission lines
Abstract: 
 What are people’s reactions to news that high voltage overhead transmission lines (HVOTLs) are to be built near their homes? Will they pursue actions which might impact the project or, instead, do nothing and see what happens as due process is followed by its planners? Much could depend on whether the installation is merely in their vicinity or will excise part of their freeholding through land acquisition. This article resolves these issues by applying a staged model of infrastructure development in Queensland, Australia, via a telephone survey of 600 homeowners. Results indicate the statistical significance of certain independent variables relating to interviewees, and of intervening variables represented by their risk perceptions and prevailing attitude to electricity infrastructure. Threatened resumption of property produces distinctly different outcomes from those applying to more distant locations of power lines. Findings should prove relevant to planning authorities contemplating network expansion.

Title: Path dependencies and defensive routines in Finnish city-regional land-use policy cooperation: case Ristikytö
Abstract: 
 The article seeks to explain the factors preventing the emergence of a broader city-regional view in land-use policy, in a Finnish urban region fragmented institutionally by several municipalities that have high independence in determining their own land-use policies. The ongoing municipal reform by the Finnish government acknowledges the importance of urban regions in global competitiveness and economic livelihood, and thus it encourages municipalities in urban regions to merge, in order to avoid their counterproductive mutual competition over investments and residents, and related municipal tax income. However, such pressure by the central government has often resulted in evasive manoeuvres and superficial city-regional rhetoric at the level of local governments, with a hidden motivation of maintaining the status quo of inter-municipal competition. As a theoretical framework to explain this phenomenon, the theoretical insights on path dependence and defensive routines are combined. Regarding empirical material, the article focuses on the case of Ristikytö in the intersection between three municipalities in Central Uusimaa, 35 km north of Helsinki.

Title: Pro-poorness of planning policies in Bangladesh: the case of Khulna city
Abstract: 
 The numbers of urban poor are increasing in the cities of Bangladesh. Formal urban planning approaches derived from experience in the global North have largely failed to tackle the consequent poverty challenges in the global South. This study provides new policy directions for pro-poor planning in Bangladesh through a case study of Khulna city. The study analyses secondary data on urban poverty in the city and interviews representatives of the urban poor, politicians, city administrators, academics, and planning professionals to gain a deeper and more nuanced understanding about the pro-poorness of current planning policies. The Khulna case reveals a continued poverty crisis in Bangladeshi cities, manifested by the limited access to income opportunities for the poor, lack of access to decent housing and urban services for the poor and spatial exclusion of the poverty-stricken areas in cities. Existing planning policies in the city fail to tackle poverty issues. Thus, to be pro-poor, planning policies should limit the over-emphasis on economic growth, and explicitly focus upon addressing the needs of the poor rather than over-concentrating on citywide demands. At the same time, planning practice should emphasize the needs of the poor and recognize the contribution of the informal economic and housing sectors.

Title: The death of strategic plan: questioning the role of strategic plan in self-initiated projects relying on stakeholder collaboration
Abstract: 
 This paper is an outcome of the authors’ involvement in a community development and capacity building project which commenced in 2010 in a small village in North India. Using a collaborative and participatory approach, the specific nature of this project influenced the development of objectives, the planning process, role planning and role allocation for different participants, and the subsequent actions. No structured strategic plan had previously been developed, nor was one constructed at the initial stages of this project. The lack of a strategic plan did not impact negatively on the project outcomes. This paper questions the need and value of the traditional strategic plan for projects requiring the participation throughout the multiple stakeholders. The paper asks: Has the strategic plan lost its relevance in today’s changed planning context?

Title: Rules versus ideas in landscape protection: is a Green Heart attack imminent?
Abstract: 
 Landscape protection in metropolitan areas is an ongoing activity that lies outside the remit of political office-holders. As political agendas change, the importance of landscape protection on strategic planning agendas may also change. This paper raises the question whether this strategic level of landscape protection ought to rest on rules or ideas, and uses the Dutch Green Heart as a case study. The success of Dutch planning has been attributed to a planning doctrine which has evolved around a principle of spatial organization consisting of an open landscape (a Green Heart) in the middle of a ‘rim’ city – in this case the Dutch Randstad. After this success had been recognized, policies were developed to formalize the protection of the Green Heart in strategic planning rules. Political controversies ensued, which resulted in the abolition of Green Heart policies at national level. Recently, the province of Zuid-Holland adopted a new structural vision and a byelaw in which there is no role for the Green Heart in development control. This paper analyses this new system of strategic development control and discusses the role of rules as opposed to ideas in landscape protection.

Title: Sense of place: using people’s experiences in relation to a rural landscape to inform spatial planning guidelines
Abstract: 
 This paper explores the interplay between people and a distinctive rural locality namely Vredefort Dome World Heritage Site, South Africa to inform spatial planning guidelines. A transdisciplinary, qualitative research methodology was followed. First, participants’ experiences in relation to the rural landscape were obtained using photographs, interviews and focus groups. Experiences related to physical and emotional safety, relaxation and tranquillity, hope and curiosity, and relational experiences with people and a divinity emerged. Drawing on these interactional experiences, participants (divided into multi-disciplinary groups) made visual collages of how to maintain the sense of place. Guidelines developed included two-dimensional site planning guidelines: (i) a sense of arrival; (ii) development zones; (iii) conservation zones; (iv) compatible land uses; (v) a low density, spatially dispersed development pattern and (vi) footpaths. Three-dimensional design guidelines included: (i) unity in style with a diversity of detail designs; (ii) restricted buildings sizes; (iii) building heights of maximum two storeys; (iv) specified building materials and (v) prescribed colour codes. The paper contributes to existing sense of place research by proposing an integrated, contextual and participatory approach as a possible way forward to make the sense(s) of place explicit by integrating these in spatial planning guidelines.

Title: The effect of distance on urban transformation in the Capital Region, India
Abstract: 
 Based on the importance of distance as specified by Central Place Theory and New Economic Geography, this paper investigates the distance effect on urban transformation in the Capital Region of India by using spatial data and recently released census data on employment and urban amenities. This study applies a multiple-ring model and identifies a shadow effect for lower-tier settlements at a distance of 50 km and beyond 100 km from the megacity of Delhi. The higher-tier settlements produce 50 km wide shadow on lower-tier settlements, after which latter starts to trigger growth. The population seems to concentrate in the megacity and other million-plus cities in the region to maximize the utility of urban amenities, which are available only in higher-tier centres. The growth of million-plus cities in close proximity to Delhi state is a complementary effect. As the distance from higher-tier settlements increases, employment opportunities and the availability of urban services decrease, thus hindering the growth of the lower-tier settlements in the hierarchy. The paper concludes that traditional spatial decentralization polices have met with limited success and recommends embracing space-based policies to increase the growth potential of lower-tier settlements in the hinterland and to reduce spatial disparities in the region.

Title: Encounters with the unfamiliar: international planning education
Abstract: 
 Planning practice and education require consideration of both universal and local norms and methods. It is often firmly embedded in localized issues and practices, yet students need to expand their career horizons and develop more critical, reflective understandings of planning issues in their ‘home’ environment. Internationalized curriculum provides a fertile environment for exploring cross-cultural encounter and reflexive practice using varied planning traditions to situate examples for teaching. The ethical and political implications of working internationally can, however, be masked within the seeming familiarity of shared planning language, concepts and techniques, and the apparent simplicity of comparative frames of reference. Planning is inherently political and contextual, yet the explicit dilemmas of the political and economic setting can, at first, appear hidden during a field project where the apparently universal notions of effective spatial planning are central to the dialogue amongst a diverse student group. Using the example of four joint field/project visits (2010–2014) involving Australian and Sri Lankan planning students in tsunami- and conflict-affected areas of Sri Lanka, this paper draws on student reflections and observations to explore the explicit encounters with ethical dilemmas, political settings, contingent problem-setting and the implications of these for planning practice within the home setting.

Title: The cure for the hard core: the evolution of planning doctrines and organizational unbundling in the Stockholm regional energy system
Abstract: 
 This paper analyses re-organization of district heating (DH) systems in the Stockholm region from the perspective of planning doctrines. It is argued that a regional doctrine emerged with the ‘spatial organization principle’ focusing on reducing the pressure on the city centre through suburbanization. The different infrastructure systems, especially transport systems, were an important part in implementing the doctrine, but as shown in the paper, energy systems and especially DH systems developed in accordance with the spatial organization principle were influenced by the doctrine. A regional energy company, STOSEB, was established, and from 1978 to 2003, it worked to create cooperation among the municipalities and energy companies. The doctrine was eventually weakened and modified, as the strategies of the organizational principle were actually implemented and focus shifted towards other issues. The regional energy cooperation was discontinued, as the deregulation of the electricity market led to privatization and new business logics of several energy companies.

Title: The contextualization of divergent outlooks in a Greenfield master-planned community: a pathway towards reflexivity
Abstract: 
 Comprehensive design schemes and specifications have progressively shaped Master-Planned Communities (MPCs). The market largely predetermines these outcomes, with background input from communities. Therefore, this paper endeavours to define the fundamental structures that generate differences between market actors and residents within the North Lakes MPC. This study employs ‘habitus theory’, which is a sociological phenomenon describing the divergence of personal outlooks and expertise. The application of this theory is thus illustrative of the evolution of distinct observations within MPCs. Contemporary studies have under-researched these inherent gaps between communities, authorities, and critics, and these frictions could be exacerbated within restrictive developmental contexts. Epistemic and objectified content analyses collated over many years and sources will uncover the underlying differences between the relevant groups. These analyses will enable the progression of a framework for understanding power relation biases and how reflexivity can enhance current consultative methods.

Title: Implementing joint ambitions for redevelopment involving cultural heritage: a comparative case study of cooperation strategies
Abstract: 
 Urban redevelopment projects at brownfield sites are challenging, especially when heritage conservation needs to be integrated into urban development plans. In these processes, close cooperation between various actors is essential to develop and implement plans. However, many projects seem to fail or opportunities are missed. This paper sheds light on the barriers and drivers in the planning process of these projects and shows that cooperation and interaction strategies might enable actors to implement joint ambitions. Therefore, we conducted a comparative case study of 10 urban redevelopment projects involving cultural heritage buildings in the Netherlands. Our results show that there is no standard strategy. Various cooperation arrangements and interaction types are effective in dealing with complicating contextual factors and conflicts in the planning process.

Title: Exploring multi-local working: challenges and opportunities for contemporary cities
Abstract: 
 An increasing phenomenon in contemporary cities is to work in multiple places, such as home, offices, and coffee shops, while simultaneously using ICT devices and networks. However, little attention has been paid to the new socio-spatial demands facing city services. This phenomenon has been empirically studied through a comparative case study in the city centre of Helsinki, Finland, by conducting observations of one public library (Library 10) and one coffee shop (Café Köket), as well as semi-structured interviews with the multi-local workers and managers of the two places. This comparative case study shows that multi-local workers with different profiles (age, level of education, contract of employment) and varied socio-spatial working practices use the library and coffee shop for several working purposes, such as individual or collective informal offices, or as temporary workplaces of a larger city network with urban ambiance. Thus, discussion of this phenomenon has shifted to a re-conceptualizing of the third place as well as future visioning of the business model of coffee shops and service concepts of libraries. The results might be useful to managers, architects, planners and policy makers when developing the network of facilities within the cities as well as the multi-functionality of urban spaces.

Title: Shifting perceptions in shrinking cities: the influence of governance, time and geography on local (In)action
Abstract: 
 The ability of local planners and decision-makers to effectively manage population loss and economic decline has been limited by the availability of shrinkage strategies in the planning toolbox and the stigma of shrinkage within the growth-oriented culture of planning. This paper assesses the applicability of a service rightsizing strategy in two shrinking Canadian municipalities in order to ascertain how local perception facilitates or impedes action. Although deemed theoretically applicable by the six key informants, the strategy was ultimately considered practically infeasible in both cities due to governance barriers. Despite similar conclusions, the local perception of shrinkage and response strategies was found to be influenced by the geographic location and longevity of shrinkage. The paper postulates that the duration of shrinkage processes and local perceptions are tied to the stage of deindustrialization and the changing demographic makeup of the city.

Title: Exploring residential urban form patterns: a Spanish case study
Abstract: 
 Rapid urban growth in recent years has increasingly compromised urban environments and made urban sustainability assessment quite challenging. Breaking down the city structure into smaller systems enables its complexity to be simplified. This work provides a methodology for defining the urban taxonomy of cities by characterizing the urban form patterns of its residential building stock into four different scales. The methodology enables the urban morphology of the city to be standardized, overcoming the barrier of building stock heterogeneity posed by cities, and considers a comprehensive review of the historic and urban planning development as starting point. The methodology proposed herein is supported by GIS technology and can be applied to medium-sized cities. It was validated by applying to the city of Castellón de la Plana, a Spanish Mediterranean coastal city. As main outcome of this research, the urban taxonomy has been obtained and building types in an average block have been standardized, allowing the definition of representative urban form patterns. This methodology can be useful for the stakeholders involved in urban decision-making processes when analysing socio-economic aspects, energy issues, the impact of different technological options or the promotion of sustainable urban development initiatives, among others.

Title: The urban dormitory: planning, studentification, and the construction of an off-campus student housing market
Abstract: 
 Regulating the negative impacts of private off-campus student housing on neighbourhoods, especially where it is concentrated by processes of ‘studentification,’ is a pressing planning issue in the knowledge economy city where universities are expanding. We piece together a history of planning for student housing in Waterloo, Ontario from 1986 to 2016 through an analysis of planning documents. Over this time, planning has proactively anticipated changes and attempted to direct development accordingly in ways that extend beyond ‘studentified’ areas. We therefore argue for greater attention to the broader ‘urban dormitory’ in which students live across the city. Lessons from Waterloo illustrate that planning in cities with significant off-campus housing must be adaptive to effectively manage the urban dormitory, as investment in high-density housing has alleviated supply constraints but did not prevent neighbourhood disruptions. A valuable role for planning is in structuring the public realm, providing amenities, and regulating unit size and design of new development.

Title: Fostering innovation in area-based initiatives for deprived neighbourhoods: a multi-level approach
Abstract: 
 The paper proposes and tests a framework for the analysis of innovation dynamics in urban regeneration by combining established frameworks from the field of urban studies with a model known as Multi-Level Perspective. This allows the acknowledgement of socio-technical dimensions of innovations besides the socio-political one and contributes to overcome a linear perception of innovations by emphasising a co-evolutionary and multi-level perspective. The framework is applied to the analysis of an extensive policy promoted since 2006 by the Apulia regional government, Italy, aiming to improve the quality of life in deprived neighbourhoods. The policy, which involved more than one hundred municipalities, tried to introduce a new integrated and participatory area-based approach into a (weak) tradition of urban renewal policies centred on physical and functional aspects. A discussion of its achievements and failures sheds light on innovation dynamics as well as on key leverages and barriers to change.

Title: Evaluating strategies for plan coordination: a survey of Canadian planners
Abstract: 
 In the contemporary context, many Canadian cities have large numbers of plans that present major challenges for coordination and implementation. The paper reports the results of a survey of Canadian planning practitioners who were asked about the strategies they use to coordinate plans and policies. The most highly-rated strategy, collaborating and sharing data for consensus-based decision-making, reflects the dominance of the collaborative planning paradigm in motivating the discipline. Data analysis discovered strong correlations between perceptions of the efficacy of a strategy and practitioners saying they used the strategy: in other words, planners value not only what they have been taught in theory, but what they do in practice.

Title: Introduction to the special issue: the politics of land – dominant regimes and situated practices
Abstract: 
 This special issue examines the politics of land focusing on the intersections of dominant land and property regimes and situated land practices that are not characterized by open conflict, but rather mundane everyday negotiations. The selected papers show that the interrelations between landed practices and regimes of land are extremely variegated and complex, shaped by socio-economic factors as well as by their own peculiar geographies and temporalities. Thus, they can be examined most adequately in the specific geographic, socio-economic and historical context in which they materialize. Structural factors matter, but they are (continuously) challenged by the agency and everyday practices of many different actors, pursuing different and mutable objectives and following varying trajectories, often far away from the established rules. Viewed like this, dominant regimes of land appear to be less overarching and monolithic than commonly understood.

Title: Public land revisited: municipalization and privatization in Newark and New York City
Abstract: 
 Public land plays a central role in contemporary urban planning struggles. Using a comparative case study approach focused on the north-eastern US cities of Newark and New York City, we uncover patterns of land acquisition and dispossession that fit five broad and often overlapping periods in planning history: City Beautiful, metropolitan reorganization, deindustrialization, and devaluation, followed by hyper-commodification in New York City and redevelopment amidst disinvestment in Newark. Through this periodization, we find that accumulation and alienation of urban public land has largely taken place through two modes of municipalization (targeted and reactive) and two modes of privatization (community-led and capital-led). Uncovering these complex and contradictory processes strengthens the case for a more intentional approach to public land than either city’s leadership is currently pursuing, but which social movements have persistently demanded – one which prioritizes democratic decision-making in long-term land management, as well as public access, use and purpose.

Title: Vacant land in London: a planning tool to create land for growth
Abstract: 
 Vacant land is a widespread urban phenomenon that has been problematised as a waste of a scarce resource, which needs to be brought back to use. The consensus around this belief has been almost unanimous, despite the contradiction between the idea of scarcity and that of vacancy. This paper explores the assumptions underpinning this contradiction to point to new ways of addressing the ‘vacant land problem’. Drawing on the work of Lefebvre and Massey, the paper suggests a dialectical framing of vacant land to understand how its socially constructed nature shapes its transformation. The paper reveals a static understanding of urban change behind the conceptualisation of Battersea Power Station and Silvertown Quays as ‘bad places’, which in turn legitimises and shapes their transformation. The paper argues for a re-problematisation of ‘vacant land’, whereby its function as a planning tool for growth can be challenged.

Title: Contested land and blurred rights in the Land of Fires (Italy)
Abstract: 
 The paper addresses the issue of contested land and the clarification of blurred rights concerning urban environments with weak public sector territorial control and the entrenchment of organized crime in the Global North. Adopting a grey spacing approach, we focus on urban informalities in the urban region of Naples (south of Italy) such as uncontrolled land use, ranging from unlawful waste disposal to unauthorized building. We argue that in-depth field research may be helpful in unravelling the entanglement of the formal and the informal, and its findings may become a resource for planning. On the one hand, this is possible by leveraging the informal in order to carry out forward-looking policies and, on the other, by channelling informal practices into suitable formal tools benefitting the public interest. In conclusion, modifying current balances and powers concerning land is a political action, as it helps treat conflicts, unravel the dispute between real and presumed rights, and uncover hidden rights in the public arena.

Title: Multiple interests in urban land: disaster-induced land resettlement politics in Kampala
Abstract: 
 One of the actions that many local authorities take in to reduce exposure of informal settlements to disaster risks and the impacts of climate change is to move people out of high-risk areas. This is usually enacted through resettlement, relocation or evictions. This article argues that local authorities recognizing and validating multiple interests in land offers an innovative advantage to cities in equitably responding to risks, and adapting to climate change. More specifically, we focus on how multiple interests in land in Kampala influenced processes associated with the resettlement of people within the context of trying to reduce exposure to disaster risks. In this instance, authorities seeking to resettle people were more inclined to negotiate than impose resettlement and these negotiations opened up the possibilities for more equitable outcomes to emerge, such as staying in their existing communities. The experience of Kampala’s authorities offers lessons for other cities confronting resettlement challenges.

Title: Tokaido Megalopolis: lessons from a shrinking mega-conurbation
Abstract: 
 This paper examines the challenges posed by giant polycentric city-regions from the perspective of an analysis of the Tokaido Megalopolis, the first case of this urban scale in Asia. Many of the issues faced by today’s mega-conurbations were identified in Tokaido 60 years ago, but at a very different moment in world history, and with different interpretations of major challenges and possible policy responses. The paper makes four main points: first is that timing is important in urban development, particularly in relation to prevailing ideas and norms about planning. Second, even if complexity means that to an important extent mega-conurbations are self-organizing systems, they are still shaped by planning institutions both at the large scale with major infrastructure, and at smaller scales through regulation. Third, the institutions and rules structuring land development are profoundly important politically, economically, and in structuring long-run spatial and social equity outcomes, including distribution of the costs and benefits of urbanization. Finally, the emergence of any particular mega-conurbation is likely to be a once-only affair, and contingent patterns and processes of development will have long-term consequences for the urbanism achieved, and for the urban societies produced. These have important planning implications.

Title: Examining the governance of emerging urban regions in Vietnam: the case of the Red River Delta
Abstract: 
 This essay investigates the process of urbanization in the Red River Delta (RRD) of Vietnam and critically assesses its governance. Focusing on recent periurban dynamics, it shows that the rapidly increasing scale of urbanization in the delta along with new forms of urban development and modes of real estate investment have contributed to outstrip Vietnam’s established planning approach. The analysis contrasts the country’s current socio-economic and spatial planning systems with everyday urbanization and governing practices that have emerged in parallel to it. The preeminent role of these practices, conceptualized as ‘actually existing urbanisms,’ is illustrated through a discussion of periurban land redevelopments conducted by business-state coalitions. The paper concludes by calling for a better understanding of the role played by such alternate regimes, not only in shaping the RRD’s urban growth, but also in constraining avenues to adapt its governance in the face of increasing urban scale and complexity.

Title: Thinking about complexity and planning
Abstract: 
 This paper proposes to examine the concept of complexity and its relevance for charting the newly emerging mega-conurbations in Asia. From the hyper-complexity of these giant constellations of the urban resulting from their scale, density, speed of development and the multiplicity of centres of governance and power. This paper tries to draw some conclusions for what can be planned and what cannot, and how planning might be organized. The paper is divided into five sections: the views of complex systems by three distinguished social scientists; a brief review of the planning literature on urban complexity; a sketch of the Yangtze Delta as a hyper-complex, pluricentric urban region; a rethinking of spatial planning in the face of urban complexity; and some principles for spatial planning under conditions of hyper-complexity in Asia.

Title: The planning of Asia’s mega-conurbations: contradiction and contestation in extended urbanization
Abstract: 
 This paper analyzes the political economy of mega-conurbation development in Asia – the interests that influence the agendas of infrastructure and urban development that shape their growth, and the distributional issues that these agendas give rise to. It specifically interrogates the role of key actors operating at a transregional scale, including national state actors and private corporate developers. The paper focuses attention on two ‘optics’ through which these actors view the opportunities and challenges presented by mega-conurbation development – the optic of the land-infrastructure-finance-economic development nexus, and the optic of the rent gap. Drawing on examples from across Asia, the paper illustrates the roles that these two optics play in shaping agendas of spatial change, and argues that theorizing the role of powerful transregional actors should be a central focus of analysis in interpreting the contradictions generated by mega-conurbation development.

Title: Megalopolitan megalomania: Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam’s Southeastern region and the speculative growth machine
Abstract: 
 Vietnam’s Eastern Southern Region is widely celebrated as the ‘engine’ of the country’s economy. Encompassing rapidly developing Ho Chi Minh City and five surrounding provinces, the region’s growth is fuelled in part by the expansion of export processing zones and numerous master-planned development projects known as New Urban Zones. This article documents the ambitions Vietnamese government officials and planners have of transforming the region into a Megalopolis or super-city consisting of a series of integrated satellite cities with Ho Chi Minh City at its core. Because this region of Vietnam does not include any important pre-existing secondary cities of major consequence, however, this megalopolitan model risks cooptation by megalomaniacs, larger-than-life figures driven more by the exercise of power than concerns about the development of an integrated regional plan.

Title: Mediating Mumbai: ethnographic explorations of urban linkage
Abstract: 
 This paper delves into one of the key aspects of mega-conurbations: linkages. We ask how imaginaries and boundary-making practices of city planners relate to the way ethnographic city is ‘knit’ or ‘linked’ together? The disjunctive and incongruous texture and form of Mumbai’s urban fabric suggests that explanations for Mumbai’s fitful growth and transformation might be found somewhere in the offices of city planners. Drawing on empirical research from two territories that are differently linked up with the city of Mumbai we probe the significance of socio-spatial and temporal proximity (or distance) to the processes of ‘linkage’ (silsila) by means of which territories become part of the fabric of the city. The empirical accounts reveal how concepts and categories borne of planning practices are themselves constitutive of the sociomaterial contradictions that ‘linkage’ practices mediate – practices that attempt to know/represent the city ‘as a whole’ would seek to resolve. The paper thus makes a case for conceptualizing (and engaging) city planners, surveyors and engineers as not as experts who ‘intervene’ or act upon cities as planning objects, but rather as mediators in a world of mediators: socially situated actors working within the complexities and contradictions of always-already mediated urban processes.

Title: Creating age-friendly cities: prioritizing interventions with Q-methodology
Abstract: 
 Over the past two decades, the age-friendly city (AFC) movement has emerged as a policy response to rapid population ageing and urbanization. Although AFCs have been conceptualized in different ways, there is a consensus that an interconnected physical and social environment is critical for creating age-friendly communities. To date, however, there has been limited investigation of the comparative importance of these elements within cities. Using Q-methodology, this study examines how key stakeholders prioritize age-friendly interventions seen through a case study of metropolitan Perth, Australia. Based on the World Health Organization's age-friendly cities guide, a new conceptual framework is presented that categorizes AFC interventions by elements (physical and social) and scale (community and targeted). Q-factor analysis revealed a number of distinct viewpoints that highlight the importance of a life course perspective along with spatial and social planning for the creation of age-friendly communities.

Title: Planning, platforms, participation: city resilience and illegal drugs in Belfast
Abstract: 
 This paper analyses a city embarking on its maiden resilience journey. Belfast suffers from common environmental, economic and social problems (e.g. flooding, unemployment and exclusion). However, the city is unique as it still struggles with the toxic fallout from its violent socio-political history – ‘the Troubles’. Despite peace and reconciliation it remains to a large extent deeply divided and socially segregated. We show that illegal drugs are a ‘chronic stress’ not yet analysed in local resilience deliberations, until this is properly problematized then Belfast’s future Resilience Strategy will struggle to deliver transformative change. We are also concerned that a predictable policy agenda scripted by influential voices renders this pressing priority of the city’s silent citizens unheard in Belfast’s resilience discussions. To combat this, we suggest that sentiment platforms could be a more effective participatory method for planning in lending life to the ‘lived experiences’ of those impacted by the drugs problem.

Title: Contextual and external factors enabling planning innovations in a regeneration context: the Lyon Confluence project (France)
Abstract: 
 This paper analyses the contextual and external factors enabling the emergence and implementation of planning innovations in a regeneration context. It draws upon sustainability transitions theory to define the concept of planning innovation. The paper is based on semi-structured interviews with urban stakeholders involved in the redevelopment process of the Lyon Confluence regeneration project. The case study of Lyon Confluence is the largest regeneration scheme in Europe and features several planning innovations related to environmental sustainability. The main finding is that planning innovations rely on both contextual and external factors. While contextual factors were essential in generating planning innovations in the case study; external factors relating to the development of actors’ networks operating at different scales enabled new financing opportunities for innovation.

Title: Can social media support large scale public participation in urban planning? The case of the #MySydney digital engagement campaign
Abstract: 
 Public participation in urban planning often focuses on the effectiveness of participation at the neighbourhood scale, while less attention is given to metropolitan wide participation. The growth of social media offers an opportunity to engage a broader geographic area. This study investigates the #MySydney social media campaign undertaken in Sydney, Australia. The #MySydney campaign utilized three social media channels and the Social Pinpoint application to engage Sydney’s citizens during the preparation of district plans. Our examination of the campaign makes the following contributions; Firstly, although the Department prompted the campaign as a conversation with the community, it was more consistent with a branding strategy. Secondly, the case study highlights the difficulties of moderating participation on social media. Thirdly, the response rate per capita was consistently very low. Finally, we demonstrate a weak link between mainstream and social media in this instance.

Title: Space to waste: the influence of income and retail choice on household food consumption and food waste in Indonesia
Abstract: 
 This paper draws on the result of surveys completed by 323 households and a qualitative study of 21 households from upper (n = 7), middle (n = 7) and lower income (n = 7) households in Indonesia. This article employs practice theory to better understand the role of planning and infrastructure in food provisioning and food wasting practices. Results from this study indicate that there is a positive and statistically significant association between the self-reported amount of household food waste and income (X2 = 27.30, p < 0.001). The study also found a statistically significant association between amount of food waste generated and certain types of retail (p < 0.000), with 75.9% of respondents who self-reported that they waste a ‘significant amount’ of food, shopping at supermarkets. In the Indonesian context, it is important to note that the choice or ability to access certain types of retail is income-related. Accordingly, food waste reduction interventions should consider the role of retail and income.

Title: What do mid-career Melbourne planners profess?
Abstract: 
 This paper considers whether twelve Melbourne mid-career planners actively seek to push the boundaries of existing practice in the context of ‘actually existing neoliberalism’. Based open-ended interviews it is concluded that while there is evidence of a general preparedness to work within these confines, as manifest in Melbourne, many consider they are in work situations that enable them to push against them in line with their own values, albeit in small ways. Why this might be is discussed.

Title: The emergence of ‘performative planning’: a case study of waterfront regeneration in Kaohsiung, Taiwan
Abstract: 
 This paper examines the shifting planning logics and design principles presented in the emergence of ‘performative planning’ that frames the motivations and visions of recent megaprojects. I consider the emblematic landscape, persuasive imaginary and affective presence through which a regeneration megaproject manipulates public emotions as a tactic of performative planning. I suggest that performative planning is a constructed governing process through which prevalent affects are structured to justify subsequent policy decisions and actions. Based on a case study of ‘Asia New Bay Area’ project in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, this paper demonstrates that performative planning has increasingly underlined the shifting nature of spatial planning from rationality-based to emotion-orientated approaches. It also unfolds a major shift from crisis management to crisis adaptation, wherein public desires and emotions are now given significant consideration in both the policy agenda and the actual design of a regeneration megaproject.

Title: Autopoietic interaction systems: micro-dynamics of participation and its limits
Abstract: 
 This article engages with two published case studies describing participation in planning, a much-discussed aspect of spatial planning. After a brief review of the arguments advanced in the articles, the case studies are reinterpreted using the theory of social autopoiesis as advanced by Niklas Luhmann, in particular, one concept from the theory – interaction systems. The re-analysis yields two results: it illustrates the added contribution that the theory can make to understand public participation in spatial planning, but also highlights particular issues in relation to participatory planning and its use in spatial planning.

Title: Must shrinking cities be distressed cities? A historical and conceptual critique
Abstract: 
 Regardless of the fast-growing popularity of shrinking cities in the literature, certain misconceptions persist. Urban shrinkage is often assumed to be near-synonymous with urban distress, and shrinking cities are assumed to be in need of growth. In this paper, we seek to achieve a greater conceptual clarity for both shrinkage and distress, thereby informing present debates on the topic and inviting more nuanced ones in the future. The paper is organized in three main parts. We first use a historical lens to challenge the conflation of shrinkage and distress. Western history is rife with examples of when growth—shrinkage’s opposite—was associated with distress. Second, we comment on some contradictions in the conceptual currents that underlie the idea of shrinking as distress, particularly in the United States. Third, we highlight how shrinkage may benefit cities and the people who live in them.

Title: Understanding context and its influence on collaborative planning processes: a contribution to communicative planning theory
Abstract: 
 Communicative Planning Theory (CPT) has been heavily criticized for neglecting context and for not paying sufficient attention to how it influences collaborative planning. While some CPT scholars have attempted to address this critique, there are still limited insights into how context hinders or facilitates the realization of collaborative qualities in planning. The paper contributes to attempts to make CPT more attuned to context by focusing on how context influences specific collaborative processes. It develops an approach that sees collaborative processes as embedded in and shaped by the immediate interplay between institutions and agency. The approach is demonstrated in the analysis of two collaborative planning processes in Ahmedabad, India and Bloemfontein, South Africa. The paper argues for the need to look at the interplay between institutional and agential factors when analysing context. It also highlights the important role that agency plays in mediating the influence of context in specific planning processes.

Title: Advancing responses to climate change through improved interplay between planning theory and practice
Abstract: 
 Many planning agencies worldwide now see climate change response as unavoidable. This paper proposes that a central task for contemporary planning theory is to guide planning practice as it develops multi-dimensional responses. We examine three theoretical constructs: anticipatory governance, legitimacy and social-ecological resilience. We argue that each conceptualises challenges climate change presents to planning practice, while providing theoretically informed options for responses. Building on this, we utilize Friedmann’s [2008. “The Uses of Planning Theory: A Bibliographic Essay.” Journal of Planning Education and Research 28 (2): 247–257. doi:10.1177/0739456X08325220] tasks for planning theory as a framework to assess the utility of planning theories to guide climate change response through practice. Associated issues are discussed, including the influence of translatable planning theories and the value of importing knowledge from other disciplines. The paper concludes that more sophisticated interplay between planning theory and practice may improve planning responses to the climate change threat. The need for planning theory to translate its conceptual discoveries to the domain of practice is key.

Title: Regionalization processes and institutional transformations in the Italian metropolitan areas among crises and ambiguities
Abstract: 
 The paper focuses on the Italian territories affected by regionalization processes and subject to an institutional reform: the enforcement of Metropolitan Cities in 2014. Regionalization processes have occurred in many European countries in recent decades, also assisted by the European Cohesion Policy. In Italy, regionalized territories have place-specific characteristics and new emerging forms of bottom-up cooperation are taking place. The new government system is having to deal with a complex scenario due to the dissemination of these forms of cooperation linked to the regionalization taking place, alongside their potential coherence and/or contrast with the top-down design of the reform.

Title: A comparative assessment of local municipal food policy integration in the Netherlands
Abstract: 
 Local governments around the world increasingly engage in food governance, aiming to address food system challenges such as obesity, food waste, or food insecurity. However, the extent to which municipalities have actually integrated food across their policies remains unknown. This study addresses this question by conducting a medium-n systematic content analysis of local food policy outputs of 31 Dutch municipalities. Policy outputs were coded for the food goals and instruments adopted by local governments. Our analysis shows that most municipalities integrate food to a limited extent only, predominantly addressing health and local food production or consumption. Furthermore, municipalities seem hesitant to use coercive instruments and predominantly employ informative and organizational instruments. Nonetheless, a small number of municipalities have developed more holistic approaches to address food challenges. These cities may prove to be a leading group in the development of system-based approaches in Dutch local food policy.

Title: ‘Mentally, we’re rather country people’ – planssplaining the quest for urbanity in Helsinki, Finland
Abstract: 
 This paper explores the concept of urbanity in a specific context, namely Helsinki, Finland. In a European context, Finland urbanized late. This lies at the heart of the common interpretation that Finland lacks an urban culture and urban lifestyles. Today, however, with the new comprehensive Urban Plan, city planners in Helsinki emphasize a paradigm shift towards urbanity. This paper seeks to understand this changing emphasis in planning by exploring how planners frame and understand urbanity. The paper concludes that within the Nordic welfare context more emphasis is needed to rethink whom urbanity serves and how it resonates with the prevention of segregation that the city also aims at.

Title: Between normative product-oriented and alternative process-oriented urban planning praxis: how can these jointly impact on the rapid development of metropolitan Maputo, Mozambique?
Abstract: 
 This paper explores recent urban planning praxis in the metropolitan area of Maputo, capital of Mozambique – occurring in a context of high socio-spatial imbalance and rapid expansion. This involves different agents besides government institutions, at different stages. Based on relevant critical literature, the authors identify both a normative praxis, usually regulatory and product-oriented, and an alternative one, usually process-oriented, in urban development. In Maputo, the former is predominantly that which is regarded as ‘official’ and is linked to land titling, whereas the latter is closer to what actually happens ‘on the ground’ and often involves ‘unofficial’ land allocation. In reality both forms of praxis interact in complex ways. The paper draws on recent research and aims to better understand how these forms of urban planning praxis can both be developed to better address existing socio-spatial imbalances in a context of rapid urbanization – and hence has wider relevance for Sub-Saharan Africa.

Title: Urban design governance in three Chinese ‘pioneer cities’
Abstract: 
 This paper investigates the formal instruments of design governance and the urban design decision-making environment in Chinese cities. It identifies Shenzhen, Shanghai and Nanjing as three cities pioneering in design-led planning in China and critically evaluates their approaches using a series of ‘best practice’ principles for design review and development management. The findings are based on 20 semi-structured interviews with key stakeholders, a review of their design portfolios, and an analysis of urban design policies and plans. The paper identifies the progress made with design governance in the three ‘pioneer’ cities as well as the challenges associated with adopting more design-sensitive planning practice. It concludes with four recommendations for Chinese cities. These focus on foregrounding sense of place in city-wide urban design visions, raising the quality of design guidance and codes, more effectively coordinating regulations produced by different government departments and agencies, and widening opportunities for public participation.

Title: Cross border regional planning: insights from Cascadia
Abstract: 
 This analysis focuses on different levels of Cross-Border Regional Planning (CBRP) processes in the Cascadia borderland. The region is home to the business-led initiative ‘Cascadia Innovation Corridor’ (CIC), designed to foster cross-border economic integration. The CIC strives to build a global innovation ecosystem in Cascadia, including a new high-speed train to connect Seattle and Vancouver. This paper focuses on the scope of the CIC as a CBRP case. The authors evaluate engagement of city governments and coherency between different planning scales to determine whether the CIC has been addressing the major challenges that may prevent tighter economicintegration in Cascadia. The analysis deploys secondary data as well as primary data collected through surveys and interviews. The results shed light on a discrepancy between supra-regional ‘soft planning’ and the urban planning level. The authors offer an evidence-based proposal to broaden the scope of the CIC from a CBRP standpoint.

Title: Experiences of private firms in delivering land services in peri-urban areas in Tanzania
Abstract: 
 Demand for land planning and surveying services has increased significantly over the years in Tanzania and as a result, the public sector has not been able to cope. Private firms have therefore emerged to provide land use planning and surveying services for landholders in peri-urban areas, most of whom have accessed land through the informal sector. This paper explores the experiences of private firms in delivering land use planning and surveying services in peri-urban areas of Dar es Salaam City. Using a case study approach involving in-depth interviews, focus group discussions and document analysis, the study reveals that private firms face legal, policy and technical obstacles in land service delivery. Despite these challenges, private firms have been instrumental in facilitating the regularisation of informally accessed land. Supportive policies and other institutional reforms are deemed necessary to improve the delivery of land services and strengthen the participation of private firms.

Title: Creative-led strategies for peripheral settlements and the uneasy transition towards sustainability
Abstract: 
 The creative cities discourse has long-overlooked the impact of the new creative economy regime on rural areas, often legitimazing arguable urban-biased policies. This paper illustrates how two small towns, in Asia and in Europe, have attempted to build creative settlements, setting up agendas for sustainability transition. This has implied a strategy to reposition the local economy around notions of culture and creativity, deconstructing mainstream pro-growth discourses. It has been also accompanied by the experimentation of forms of engagement of local communities. The aim is to explain the challenges encountered during this process, and to distil, from this experience, the potential factors that might hinder a real process of transition towards sustainability in the long run. It will conclude that employing effective creative-led strategies, to overcome ‘smallness’ and ‘marginality’ in a sustainable way, should be based on the strengthening of local planning capacities, and the development of effective network governance arrangements.

Title: Spatial planning in the digital age: the role of emerging technologies in democratising participation in spatial planning in Ghana
Abstract: 
 Planning practice has evolved from technocratic to participatory approaches. This is driven by the need to ensure that the stakeholders of development programmes are involved in making decisions. However, participatory planning, often excludes interested publics from planning processes, due to several barriers. As such there is a recourse to digital technologies aimed at broadening participation of interested publics in planning processes. This study sought to unpack the reasons why digital technologies are not widely used in spatial planning processes in Ghana, in spite of the availability of, and possibilities for doing so? And what forms of technology can help us deepen public participation in spatial planning in Ghana? The study established that various web and mobile technologies and apps exist to aid participation in planning in Ghana, although such a process must be backed by national efforts to deepen transparency in governance and enhance digital literacy and penetration.

Title: Prospects for sustainable urban development in Africa – (re)viewed from a planning perspective
Abstract: 
 .Since mid-15th century the epistemological foundations of imperialism is a continuing process that is responsible for the vulnerability of cities in Africa to structural adversities. The vulnerability to structural adversities is responsible for the legendary ‘urbanization without growth’ and for ‘growth without development’ in Africa since the turn of the 21st century. This vulnerability threatens the sustainable urban development initiative because it has very high potentials to impede the reversion of extant consumer cities to centres of production. This paper therefore argues that the prospect of sustainable urban development in post-2015 planning period is very low. Ideological and policy changes are required to redress this situation. To this end, the paper attempts to identify requisite development ideology and policy changes specifically to enhance the productive health of the city.

Title: A qualitative approach to investigate low-cost housing policy provision in Edo State, Nigeria
Abstract: 
 Over the years, the Nigerian Governments have made several attempts to address the deficit in low-cost housing (LCH) provision via various housing policies but failed. Thus, the need to investigate the encumbrances faced with the LCH policy and proffer pragmatic policy solutions so that low-income earners can gain access to homes in Edo State, Nigeria. A phenomenology type of qualitative research was adopted. To achieve this, 12 face-to-face interviews were conducted, and saturation accomplished. The data was validated via secondary sources, analysed by MAXQDA 2018 and supported with thematic analysis. The study found that the Edo State have admirable housing policy on paper but due to some challenges such as relaxed housing policy implementation, corruption, inadequate fund, ‘act of political will’ among others, implementation has been fruitless. As part of the practical implications, this paper would stir-up policymakers in the formulation of policies.

Title: Implications of density bonus tool for urban planning: relaxing floor area ratio (FAR) regulations in Tehran
Abstract: 
 This article, by using empirical evidence from Tehran, looks beyond the West to explore the implications of the reliance of the entrepreneurial local government on private capital for the urban planning system. The main premise of this paper is that the financial dependence of Tehran Municipality on income generated from increasing construction density (density bonus tool) paid by developers has led to planning that is responsive to property market interests rather than the city’s strategic needs or the public interest. This paper makes a contribution to the literature of urban planning by providing a new case study of density bonus tool focused in Tehran; that allows a better understanding of the issue of how municipal financial tools (such as density bonus) could affect planning decisions.

Title: Peri-urbanization in Sacaba, Bolivia: challenges to the traditional urban planning approach
Abstract: 
 In Bolivia, as in many cities of the Global South, rapid and unplanned urban growth expanded widely into peri-urban areas with high levels of poverty and vulnerability. However, the public administration do not acknowledge the peri-urban areas in policies and planning. Moreover, the peri-urban complex realities exceeded local planners capacity to cope with them. This paper examines the challenges that peri-urban areas pose to urban planning in Sacaba, Bolivia. The methodology includes questionnaire surveys, interviews and workshops with actors in peri-urban areas. Findings reveal that peri-urban areas appeal to be formally recognized in urban planning at the same time that traditional urban planning need to readjust its approach to fit the reality of the cities in the Global South.

Title: The Socio-politics of the urbanization - transportation nexus: infrastructural projects in the department of Antioquia in Colombia through the lens of technological politics and institutional dynamics
Abstract: 
 Development of transportation infrastructure has long been seen as a fundamental tool in shaping cities, and vice versa. However, moving beyond the discussion on the causalities of transportation infrastructure and urbanization, various authors have criticized infrastructural projects for promoting injustice and reinforcing social and spatial polarization by supporting profit-oriented developments. Contributing to this line of thought, this study examines the wider Socio-politics of the transportation – urbanization nexus in infrastructural projects associated with urban development in the department of Antioquia in Colombia. It focuses on the relationships between these projects and urban development approaches and policies, addressing the socio-political benefits and profit-oriented interests of hegemonic groups, and how infrastructures embody specific forms of power and authority of these groups. The analysis mobilizes a combination of the theory of technological politics and a strategic-relational institutionalist approach, which draws attention to the momentum of large-scale sociotechnical systems, and to the response of modern societies to specific technological imperatives.

Title: Ideology in practice: the career of sustainability as an ideological concept in strategic urban planning
Abstract: 
 This paper presents an approach for analysing ideology dynamics in strategic urban planning based on post-foundational political theory. Drawing on empirical material of strategic planners discussing their usage of the concept of sustainability it is suggested that although planners generally consider themselves to be pragmatic problem-solvers, it is exactly in their efforts to ‘get things done’ that they become deeply embroiled in the social dynamics of ideology. The reason for this is that planners are forced to employ ideologically charged concepts to bring together the disparate coalitions of actors that are needed for generating any form of policy traction in fractured governance landscapes. However, the ideological utilization of a concept contributes not only to the reproduction of hegemonic relations but also to a consequent hollowing out of the concept whereby its meaning becomes increasingly diluted, leading to its eventual demise and replacement.

Title: Root cause approach to explore policy options for improving low-cost housing provision in Malaysia
Abstract: 
 Since 1982, the Malaysian Government and private housing developers have been providing low-cost housing (LCH) yet the scarcity of houses is on the increase. This paper investigates the root cause and explores possible policy options for improving Malaysian LCH provision via an unexplored dimension. First, findings from the oral interviews via qualitative approach were tested and analysed at the quantitative phase. The ‘quantilised findings’ were further validated by the Malaysian LCH policymakers. Findings confirm lax state LCH policy across the states. The study found lack of data sharing, some developers evade construction of LCH, relaxed state policy that allows developers to construct LCH, among others as the root cause of lax state LCH policy. The study proffered some recommendations and this will bring to the front burner new openings such as cumulative ruling, joint task force, among others for further study as part of the theoretical contribution to knowledge advancement.

Title: A university town and attraction/re-attraction of international students: an investigation into Dushu Lake higher education town in Suzhou, China
Abstract: 
 While the attraction of international students makes a direct impact on the host city and the education institutions, retention (or reattraction) of them after their graduation can generate wider, indirect impacts on the local labor market. The link from international study to the labor market means the role of a gateway played out by the host city that offers university education and various urban attributes. This paper presents the relationship between international tertiary students, and the key factors for their attraction and re-attraction in the context of China. The case of the Dushu Lake Higher Education Town in Suzhou is investigated for how international students have interacted with the local built environment and whether this affects their plans to remain locally for work. This research found that the place based offer was generally less significant than the quality of academic institutions and economic prospects in attracting and re-attracting international students.

Title: Post-conflict reconstruction and the decline of urban vitality in Downtown Beirut
Abstract: 
 After becoming a no-man’s land during the civil war, Downtown Beirut underwent major reconstruction efforts to return what was lost of its vibrant character. Reconstruction was specifically organized as a flagship designed to reclaim Beirut’s status within the region. However, the environment has recently stagnated, with fewer visitors making their way to the downtown area. These circumstances are amplified by local instability and other related issues. As such, this study clarified the connection between reconstruction planning and the decline of urban vitality in Downtown Beirut by focusing on its historical centre. Based on analyses of planning documents, field observations, and interview surveys, this study specifically argues that neoliberalism and affiliated planning policies were associated with the aforementioned decline. This article first chronicles the planning development process and discusses the fluctuating state of vitality, then identifies the neoliberal policies involved in reconstruction and outlines their connection to the currently stagnated environment.

Title: Waste management: new policies for EU port cities
Abstract: 
 The article aims to draw attention to the emergent issue of waste management by highlighting the importance of having new sustainable policies for port cities. The European Union considers two distinct levels of waste management: one relating to port areas and the other specific to the urban context. However, in port cities, the port and the city interact in many ways, and one is essential for the other. The authors stress the importance of developing a single sustainable waste management plan that considers at the same time the city and its port. This is because port waste has negative effects on coastal communities and vice versa, urban waste is contaminating the oceans. After careful study of the European legislation on waste management in urban and port areas, the authors defined how to implement a Sustainable Waste Management Plan for port cities. Case study is the port city of Savona.

Title: Planning sustainable urban-industrial configurations: relations among industrial complexes and the centralities of a regional continuum
Abstract: 
 Production models’ flexibilization in capitalist economies continues to transform industrial activities’ spatial organization in a regional continuum. Placed in planned complexes located on cities’ fringes, firms often stand inaccessible from regional circulation routes, which hinder activities’ long-term economic sustainability. Further changes are impending, as forthcoming Smart Manufacturing logistics require efficient linkages between local and regional transportation models. Such issues compel urban planners, economists and policymakers to re-evaluate industrial territories’ imprint on metropolitan dynamics and enact proper strategies towards the industry. In this paper, the role of road-circulation network centralities on industrial complexes’ placement in a regional continuum is analysed, refining the existent methods to assess industry spatial configuration and agglomeration logics. Empirical cases comprise five Brazilian industrial complexes in Porto Alegre’s Metropolitan Region. Hypothesis is that road-circulation network centralities’ hierarchies (closeness and betweenness) have positive correlations to industrial placement patterns at regional and inner-complex scale, informing regional contiguity dynamics amid discontinuous industrial spaces.

Title: Temporary urbanism as a new policy strategy: a contemporary panacea or a trojan horse?
Abstract: 
 Over the last two decades, temporary uses of space are spreading in Europe as a new policy tool to recover vacant areas. The theoretical debate is divided between the promoters of these new forms of tailor-made urbanism and the detractors, who argue that temporary urbanism is increasingly subject to profit logic as an urban policy strategy. Through two French case studies (The ‘Grands Voisins’ in Paris and the ‘Transfer Project’ in Nantes), the article discusses the characteristics of temporary urban planning and its intrinsic tension between a contemporary panacea and a trojan horse. Can the ‘temporary city’ be a partial response to the issues of social inclusion, housing, and equal accessibility to spaces and amenities, which the contemporary city seems to fail in? Or is temporary urbanism just an alibi for administrations and local leaders to continue perpetrating neoliberal policies?

Title: Politics, planning, and ruling: the art of taming public participation
Abstract: 
 Public participation is still a democratic challenge to city and municipal governments. Numerous studies have suggested experiments on participative processes, and conflictual consensus is seen as the best outcome of planning’s politicization, it is fair to ask if this is not accepting planning’s position as depoliticizing public participation. This article studies the governmentality around public participation formed by law and institutional regimes on participation and democracy, and how a dispositif ensemble is forming and framing the structure and content of the public participation process.

Title: Self-organized initiatives: a planners’ subversive tool for fragmented urban spaces
Abstract: 
 This article investigates whether self-organized initiatives are able to undermine the underlying dynamics of spatial fragmentation in Brazilian metropolises by promoting social connections between groups that are extremely diverse. Since self-organized initiatives not only promote spatial connections but also social connections between different groups, the central question here is: To what extent can self-organized initiatives promote social connection in the public spaces of highly fragmented and unequal urban contexts? The analysis was based on data collected from 22 in-depth interviews with members of self-organized initiatives, experts as well as field observations during some actions of the initiatives. The interviews were conducted in Brasília, Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo during two months of fieldwork. The results show that the self-organized initiatives studied were capable to mitigate conflicts and to create social connections. Nevertheless, it is still unclear how strong and long-lasting these social connections are.

Title: What to do with the chiefs? Revisiting the historical shifts and continuities of rural land administration and tenure systems in the former Transkei of the Eastern Cape, South Africa
Abstract: 
 At least seventeen million South Africans live on ‘communal’ landholdings that are held in trust by the state under the custodianship of traditional leaders. Yet, traditional leaders’ land administration powers are undetermined, thereby impeding planning efforts and infrastructure provisions in South Africa’s rural regions. The aim of this article is to revisit the historical shifts and continuities pertaining to rural land administration and tenure systems during successive regimes by focusing on ‘communal’ landholdings in the former Transkei. In so doing it becomes clear how rural regions remain victims of colonial and apartheid land laws despite a quarter of a century of policy redress. Arguably, until decisive answers are established regarding traditional leaders’ land administration powers, residents will continue to live without municipal services and economic opportunities. Similar realities are also found across sub-Saharan Africa. Lessons from the former Transkei might then be relevant elsewhere despite situated differences.

Title: The impact of high-speed rail on the trajectories of shrinking cities: the case of the extension of the Shinkansen network in northern Japan
Abstract: 
 As more countries witness depopulation, the expansion of High-Speed Rail (HSR) to reach shrinking cities in peripheral regions is renewing the debate on the effects of this infrastructure. This is the case in Japan, a country that continues to extend its highly developed HSR network hoping to curb regional decline. This paper investigates whether HSR had a positive effect on the shrinking trajectories of connected medium and small-sized cities in peripheral regions by examining the impact of extending the Shinkansen network on five municipalities in the prefectures of Iwate and Aomori, northern Japan. Although depopulation decelerated in some of the case studies, the findings highlight that HSR did not reverse shrinkage and benefits are mainly found in increased accessibility, albeit unevenly distributed. This suggests that, rather than uniformly uplifting socio-economic outlooks, the Shinkansen contributed to reshaping the trajectories of the connected cities and reproduced core–periphery dynamics at the regional level.

Title: Informing future Australian settlement planning through a national-scale suitability analysis
Abstract: 
 Australia’s population is projected to triple by 2101, yet the nation lacks coordinated planning based on systematic regional analysis. This paper documents a novel national-scale suitability analysis of Australia which identifies the most appropriate regions for future urban development. The central research question is ‘Where should Australian federal and state governments encourage urban development to maximise climatic liveability, protect natural and cultural heritage, capitalise on previous infrastructure investments, and maximise economic productivity?’ The results indicate that the south-east and south-west of the country, and Tasmania, are preferred. The federal government is yet to prepare a national settlement strategy and contemplates large scale urban development in areas to which it is not suited. Regional planning decisions not based on comprehensive, evidence-based analysis are likely to incur significant social, economic and environmental costs.

Title: Urban informality and parallel governance systems: shaping citizens’ engagements in urban planning processes in Bangladesh
Abstract: 
 Informality within the urban planning practice in developing countries is no longer synonymous to the prevalence of urban poverty but rather also associated with various forms of power and wealth accumulation. This paper uncovers how informality and resulting parallel governance systems discourage community participation in local development. It describes the role of informality in three areas of local planning in Dhaka megacity, viz. urban service delivery, strategic planning and urban development. Reporting from a variety of sources, we contend that privileged citizens are likely to disregard the formal planning system and where it serves their interest, they resort to the parallel system to circumvent regulatory controls. The situation is further aggravated because the existence of parallel systems discourages the urban poor to participate in formal planning processes. Some lose their trust in the government and avoid participation altogether, while others seek informal access to it through middlemen for favourable outcomes.

Title: Age-friendly cities, knowledge and urban restructuring
Abstract: 
 Age-friendly cities and communities have emerged as a significant policy, participative and governance response to ageing and its spatial effects. This paper argues that it has important benefits in mobilizing older people, placing age on the urban agenda and building recognition across politicians, policy makers and programme managers. Based on the experience of Belfast (UK), the analysis suggests, however, that it needs to be understood within wider urban restructuring processes, the importance of the property economy and how planning practices favour particular groups and modes of development. Drawing on demographic data, policy documents and in-depth interviews, it evaluates the relationship between age and urban regeneration, research-based advocacy and central-local relations in health and place-based care. The paper concludes by highlighting the importance of knowledge in competitive policy arenas and the need to focus on the most excluded and isolated old and where and how they live.

Title: Root cause of factors enhancing the spread of coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic in Nigerian informal urban settlements: issues and possible solutions
Abstract: 
 Recent studies showed that physical distancing and proper hygiene measures mitigate the fast spread of COVID-19. But how far the informal urban settlements residents can adhere to these and other measures are yet to receive in-depth studies in Nigeria. Therefore, this study investigated the level of residents’ compliance and proffer possible solutions that will mitigate the pandemic spread. Five cities across Nigeria were engaged as the case study via a phenomenology type of qualitative research. The study combined MAXQDA 2020 with thematic analysis to describe the data. Findings show that majority of the informal urban settlements in Nigeria can enhance the spread of COVID-19. As part of this paper’s implications, findings will strengthen collaboration with relevant stakeholders regarding effective control measures and propose measures possibly to be adopted by other developing countries with similar attributes in the informal urban settlements.

Title: Unsettling the Copenhagen Finger Plan: towards neoliberalization of a planning doctrine?
Abstract: 
 The Finger Plan has guided the spatial development of the Greater Copenhagen Area for more than 70 years, constituting a planning doctrine in Danish spatial planning. However, recently the Finger Plan has come under attack from the liberal Danish Government (2015–2019), who implemented a number of initiatives to deregulate spatial planning in Denmark, most significantly through a ‘modernised’ Planning Act. As part of this process, the Finger Plan was revised twice in 2017 and 2019. The latest version of the Finger plan was prepared as part of a larger policy package aiming at promoting growth in the Greater Copenhagen Region towards 2030. This paper argues that the recent revisions of the Finger Plan must be understood as part of the ongoing neoliberalization of spatial planning in Denmark, but that the Finger Plan, at the same time, has remained ‘immune’ to a more widespread neoliberalization in this process.

Title: A ‘planning revolution’ or an ‘attack on planning’ in England: digitization, digitalization, and democratization
Abstract: 
 This article focuses on the planning–technology nexus. Recent work explores the potential of digital technology in overcoming the longstanding limitations of a lack of public engagement and citizen empowerment in the planning process. In August 2020, the Government published a White Paper to democratize, digitize, and digitalize the planning system. We interrogate whether these radical reforms constitute a ‘planning revolution’ or an ‘attack on planning’; we focus on two important issues: democratic deficit and digital divide. The article examines how statements about digitization and digitalization may meet the Government’s desire to make the planning process more inclusive (i.e. equitable, fair, just) by empowering greater numbers of people to influence planning decisions for their local communities. In this agenda-setting article, we reflect on the English planning landscape; more broadly, we critically reflect on the values and political rhetoric involved in embracing technological innovations, and how these intersect with societal concerns.

Title: Soft planning in macro-regions and megaregions: creating toothless spatial imaginaries or new forces for change?
Abstract: 
 Both planning practice and research increasingly acknowledge the existence of new scales and governance arrangements alongside and between statutory planning systems. Examples of new scales of non-statutory planning are large-scale megaregions and macro-regions. Drawing on examples from North America and Europe (Southern California and the Danube Region respectively), this article examines how new processes of cooperation at this scale can influence other statutory levels of decision-making on spatial development. The analysis of spatial delineations, discourses, actors, rules and resources associated with megaregions and macro-regions suggests that this type of ‘soft planning’ can foster territorial integration when a perception exists that there are joint gains to be made, when informal rules are negotiated in context-specific and bottom-up processes, when soft spaces are used as arenas of deliberation to renegotiate shared agendas, and when actors succeed in ensuring the anchorage of informal cooperation in other arenas.

Title: Translating ‘New Compactism’, circulation of knowledge and local mutations: Copenhagen’s Sydhavn as a case study
Abstract: 
 The international circulation of urban design concepts often leads to their characterization as transferable ideals defined by a set of universalized ‘best practices’ that are simply implemented in new localities, as is typical of top-down approaches to planning. Recently, the compact city and New Urbanism have become trendy concepts informing the development of urban projects across geographies. This research draws on ANT sensitivities and policy mobilities studies to examine the regeneration of Copenhagen’s Southern Harbour (Sydhavn) wherein the compact city and New Urbanism ideals, together with a declared inspiration from Dutch architecture, were originally incorporated in the masterplan. Through the analysis of documents and semi-structured interviews, the paper illustrates how these ideals – merged as 'New Compactism' – were mobilized and re-intepreted by local actors in Sydhavn. It thus adds to our understanding of how the circulation of such ideals is not a matter of implementation, but a complex social process of translation that entails struggle and transformation.

Title: Replicated or homegrown planning model? The mutual constitution of ideas, interests and institutions in the delivery of a megaproject in Rio de Janeiro
Abstract: 
 On the surface, contemporary urban megaprojects suggest a convergence in form: office towers, hotels, museums, shopping and renewed public spaces often involving transnational firms and renowned architectsHowever, framing local policiesas instances of a ‘serial reproduction’ of iconic landscapes obscures more than reveals how circulating planning models are reproduced and institutionalized. To this effect, this paper suggests a complementary approach between the literature of policy mobilities and new institutionalism focusing on how policies are ‘arrived at’ and the role of ideas in the policy process. An analytical framework is applied to the case study of a large-scale waterfront regeneration programme in Rio de Janeiro to examine the mutual evolvement between ideas, interests and institutions. The paper concludes by stressing the importance ofpaying attention to how policy knowledge is assembled, institutionalized and interests identified.

Title: Master planning in the megalopolis: exploring the opportunities and barriers for urban governance reform in Bangalore, India
Abstract: 
 Residents from the Indian city of Bangalore perceive the degradation of quality of life primarily attributed to unprecedented levels of growth. The city has been guided by routinely updated master plans since 1985, which should have anticipated and mitigated the consequences of urban growth. Today, new forms of collective action are emerging to gain control over urban space, life and ultimately governance. Based on the voices of multi-sector stakeholders in various ‘domains’ of urban governance during the latest master planning process, this paper provides an exploratory case study about the relationship between the planning process and governance reform. Master planning could facilitate reform through collaborative decision-making, accountability for outcomes, and greater inclusion. Master planning processes need to go beyond current means of citizen participation and ensure sustained social learning among the various actors at the ward-level to strengthen urban governance structures. More research is needed for planners in this area.

Title: Craft industries and ribbon development: place change along the Colombo-Kandy Road, Sri Lanka
Abstract: 
 Craft industries are an increasingly significant component of economic and social life in many Asian countries. However, their unique forms are not well documented. Future development may be harmed by importing concepts from western creative industries, which exhibit different histories and spatial dynamics. Unlike western urban craft industries, South and East Asian craft industries assume a distinct morphological pattern of ‘craft ribbon development’ in peri-urban areas. This article examines the spatial attributes of craft ribbon development in three craft industries in Sri Lanka- Pilimathalawa Brass, Molagoda Pottery, and Wewaldeniya Cane industry. We frame craft ribbon development in three historical phases associated with the country's distinct socio-economic changes. Surveys and semi-structured interviews were carried out to trace the changes in land uses and building typologies. Each case shows significant visual morphological transformation with the surrounding area, and that land-use change was accelerated subsequent to the introduction of market-oriented reform policies.

Title: Planning systems and cultures in global comparison. The case of Brazil and Germany
Abstract: 
 The global comparison of planning systems faces several theoretical and normative challenges. Against the background of ongoing debates on the comparability of emerging and existing ideas and practices of planning in the Global North and South, we propose a comparative approach based on field theory. Comparisons of planning systems often focus on the institutional dimension or are mere juxtapositions of cases studies. A comparison based on field theory is more appropriate for the comparative study of planning cultures as the approach allows to interpret planning as an emerging practice influenced (or not) by globalized or European knowledge communities. The two planning systems under scrutiny in this paper are Germany and Brazil. Germany presents a mature field of planning while Brazil’s field of planning is emergent. The paper is based on a literature review that supports the formulation of assumptions and tests the approach through a comparison of Brazil and Germany.

Title: Neighbours matter: a micro-scale indicator of settlement structure assessing urban dispersion and planning effectiveness
Abstract: 
 Moving toward a land-use approach that focuses on settlement structure, the present study introduces an indicator of compactness based on the evolution over time of the number of detached buildings in total stock at local scale. Assuming the modalities of settlement expansion as dependent on the interplay among socioeconomic aspects, territorial constraints and planning regulations, the spatial relationship between this indicator and a vast set of contextual variables was studied at the level of municipalities in a representative case of Mediterranean Europe (Athens, Greece) during both economic expansion (late-1990s) and recession (late-2000s). Results documented a trend toward settlement compaction along the Athens’ fringe. Processes of settlement compaction were more evident in municipalities with a town master plan enforced in law. By reconnecting a morphological analysis of urban fabric with a functional characterization of metropolitan regions, our study suggests the importance of spatial planning regulating dispersed urbanization in contexts where informal settlements had reflected the dominant pattern of urban growth for decades.

Title: Evaluating scenarios for twenty-first-century Australian settlement planning: a Delphi study with planning experts
Abstract: 
 This paper presents findings from a national survey of Australian planning experts examining future settlement patterns and locations at the continental scale. Collective judgement supported efforts to achieve population decentralisation and favoured three possible scenarios – Satellite Cities, Boosted Secondary Capital Cities, and East West Megaregions. The findings on preferred settlement pattern scenarios can inform future efforts to develop a national urban policy for Australia. This case study can also serve as a reference point to the over 160 countries worldwide that are developing, implementing, or evaluating national urban policies in support of global urban agendas.

Title: Local planning cultures? What Glasgow, Melbourne and Toronto planners say
Abstract: 
 This paper centres on what 51 planning practitioners working across the metropolises of Glasgow, Melbourne and Toronto said in open-ended interviews about themselves and their work under current neoliberal policy settings. Planning systems were redesigned under these settings to attract inward investment more readily, local planners’ practices to be compliant. Through an interrogation of interview transcripts, the aim here to discern whether older professional values underlie current practices and what degree of influence, if any, they have. It is concluded they do, albeit in limited ways, their influence on planning practices varying between and within the three metropolises. Reasons why are discussed.

Title: Prioritizing behaviour alongside regulations in Amsterdam’s planning projects
Abstract: 
 Project-specific actor constellations and relationships shape contemporary planning practice. The existing literature predominantly focuses on the flexibility of regulations in planning projects and largely ignores the behaviour of involved governance actors. Here, we argue that the nuances of relationship dynamics between public and private sector actors deserve increased scrutiny. Based on in-depth interviews with public planners and project managers, and private developers and investors involved in Amsterdam’s urban development, and a case study of a major redevelopment project, we have coined a new term: ‘behavioural flexibility’. Behavioural flexibility highlights how relationships extensively affect how actors trust and communicate with one another, and how their goals align. Combined, these factors strongly impact planning outcomes as they determine how actors eventually behave in projects by either being supportive and constructive or unhelpful and obstructive. The findings call for an assessment of ‘indicative actor relationships’ as an alternate starting point for planning projects.

Title: The mystery of recurrent housing demolitions in urban Zimbabwe
Abstract: 
 This paper reflects on how to interpret the dearth of radical activism in Zimbabwe’s peri-urban areas: why Zimbabwe’s urban ‘subalterns’ do not mobilize against the recurrent heart-wrenching demolitions of their informal settlements housing. It contributes to the understanding of how politics in context is a major determinant of informal urban and peri-urban developments in which working classes, middle classes, elites and the state are major actors. A significant proportion of demolition victims are aspiring risk-taking middle classes socially located in a double bind of the ruling ZANU (PF) party-state’s jambanja empowerment-disempowerment social contract within which alternative uprising looks unfeasible. Intrinsically, jambanja is about the emasculation of prevailing laws such that, when demolitions occur, both victim and sympathizer activism is undermined by the illegality of the original housebuilding. Consequently, demolitions will persist for as long as jambanja and the pervasive structural informality of the ruling ZANU (PF) party-state endure.

Title: Lost in transit? – effects of a highly transit-affected town
Abstract: 
 In this article, we argue that a place can become too well-connected, and that in this manner, its identity and key character can be ‘lost in transit’. Therefore, as the article points out, in the future urban planning of places highly affected by transit, it will be important to emphasize co-thinking of the concepts of ‘transit towns’ and ‘living towns’. We examine a place in Denmark which is particularly influenced by transit, namely the seaport town of Hirtshals. Through empirical and ethnographic explorations, the article seeks to reveal the challenges which a town primarily characterized by its role in goods transportation and ferry transit faces in terms of liveability and social quality for its inhabitants. This is performed through a case study using various practical methods, including document analysis, interviews, surveys, registration data, and physical-spatial place analysis.

Title: Moderating effect of anti-corruption agencies on the relationship between construction corruption forms and projects delivery
Abstract: 
 Globally, development projects faced severe problems because of various forms of corruption issues in the construction industry. Studies showed that anti-corruption agencies help to mitigate corrupt practices. However, there is a scarcity of studies regarding agencies' role on construction projects. Therefore, this paper investigated the moderating effect of the role of anti-corruption agencies as the moderating effect on the relationship between construction corruption forms and public projects delivery in Nigeria. SmartPLS was employed to analyse the collated data from the 450 respondents across Lagos and Abuja, Nigeria. Findings show that anti-corruption agencies role would enhance cost value, better performance, and quality of public projects delivery in Nigeria. This paper recommends a further empirical study to test and validate the developed framework across the country. As part of the practical implications, this paper suggests that the government should encourage non-interference in the constitutional duties of anti-corruption agencies.

Title: Applicability of Perry’s neighbourhood concept in neighbourhood planning in Sri Lanka
Abstract: 
 Perry’s neighbourhood concept has been considered a substantial paradigm shift in neighbourhood planning since 1929 and has now been reaffirmed under new urbanism. Eventhough Sri Lanka has implemented several neighbourhood concepts in housing developments, it lacks proper evaluation. The current study explores the applicability of Perry’s neighbourhood concept in Sri Lanka, employing two case studies in suburban areas in the Colombo district. The study relied on both qualitative and quantitative approaches. The study highlights that edge-centred arteries and loop layout of neighbourhood paths help walkability. Open space at the centre of the neighbourhood with a well-connected footpath increases residents’ physical and social activities. The establishment of commercial facilities on the outer edge of the neighbourhood helped to reduce traffic in the neighbourhood. However, the study questioned the functionality of the elementary school with the unequal distribution of recourses among schools in Sri Lanka. The results provide guidelines for future neighbourhood planning that combines Perry’s concept but with local settings and future aspirations.

Title: Situating the silence of recreation in transit-oriented development
Abstract: 
 Transit-oriented development (TOD) is a prominent planning model that connects sustainable mobilities with land use. While this interface is crucial for sustainable development, it also requires, we argue, that all typesof mobilities are considered. Therefore, this paper scrutinises how recreation and its mobilities have been studied within academic TOD literature. The review reveals a small number of studies of recreation, and by paying attention to their diverse geographical settings the scattered knowledge becomes even more apparent. Thereafter, to illustrate the consequences and situate our reading, we offer a place-based critique of the TOD planning in a Swedish city. The case captures how policies silence local resourcesfor recreation, not least by misinterpreting the modernist planning legacy. Finally, we argue that integrating recreation in the TOD model is as important as it is challenging: it requires a reconsideration of the urban ideal that TOD relies upon.

Title: Coping with collective interests in a self-organisation planning regime: a critical analysis of the Oosterwold case (Almere, NL)
Abstract: 
 Self-organisation is a prominent concept in the field of urban studies, yet its application to planning practices is still minimal. In this regard, the Dutch Organic Development Strategies (ODS) stand out for being one of the few practical attempts to provide a legal framework for an incremental and open-ended urban development. Among the ODS, the Oosterwold case distinguishes itself for further exploring autonomy and decentralised decision-making. Few years following the project’s inception, a fieldwork analysis was intended to find a link between the self-organising processes that have taken place in Oosterwold, and their potential to cope with collective interests. The results have shown that stressing autonomy and incrementality undermined efficiency, feasibility, and compliance with the public interest. The case study analysis suggests that planners should not consider self-organisation as a goal per se and, when it comes to delivering collective infrastructures and services, self-governance, along with public support, might become necessary.

Title: The transformation and adaptive capacity of Tsweu Street in Mamelodi, City of Tshwane
Abstract: 
 Cities and neighbourhoods are changing rapidly. While rapid change is accepted, it is less clear how to understand and analyse change and steer it towards a more sustainable trajectory. This paper focuses on the transformation of a particular street in Mamelodi, situated in Pretoria (capital city of South Africa). Utilizing a resilience lens, we unpack the various cycles of adaptation evident in the street. Our analysis shows that the transformation of Tsweu Street broadly followed the phases of the adaptive cycle, namely rapid growth, conservation, release and reorganization and incorporated three dimensions of resilience, namely social or community, spatial and institutional resilience. We argue that resilience thinking offers a mechanism to understand and analyse change at various scales, including the street level and that this provides planners with a tool to work with change through the application of appropriate measures at the relevant time to maximize their impact.

Title: Degradation of urban nodes in East Jerusalem: from vibrant spaces to dead ends
Abstract: 
 The article explores the impact of Israeli policies and practices on Palestinian urban nodes in occupied East Jerusalem focusing on Kubsa junction. It argues that the Segregation Wall has created spaces where Palestinian life is expendable and where the practice of eliminating the Arab Palestinian character of the city has transformed a once vibrant Palestinian urban node into a dead end. Kubsa Junction illustrates settler-colonial military spatial policies and urban planning to control the urban space of Kubsa Junction which have created a ‘frame’ to segregate and control the colonized Palestinians. Such policies, the article argues, are better interpreted by settler-colonial state strategies than racialized global capitalism. Yet, while different layers of daily lives and memory of the colonized on both sides of the Segregation Wall have been harmed, the spiritual and collective memory layers maintain meaning and purpose to the colonized’s steadfastness or Sumoud.

Title: A critical analysis of ‘smart cities’ as an urban development strategy in Africa
Abstract: 
 Smart cities are becoming a popular urban development strategy to address complex and multiple challenges confronting cities globally, including in Africa. Using the 3RC framework, this paper critically analyses smart cities using experiences from Nairobi (Kenya), Johannesburg (South Africa), Lagos (Nigeria), Kigali (Rwanda) and Casablanca (Morocco). Are smart cities a panacea to Africa's quest for sustainable urbanization? Our analyses demonstrate that, if carefully planned and implemented, smart city interventions have the potential to transform the ways African cities are planned, managed, and governed. At the same time, smart city interventions in Africa are being implemented in contexts characterized by socio-economic inequalities, chaotic transport systems and massive governance failures among other challenges. We demonstrate that if ineffectively deployed, smart urban technologies might deepen existing inequalities and amplify spatial exclusion through privatization and marketization of urban space. Therefore, the adoption of smart city ideas in Africa must be rooted in contextual realities and properly calibrated to create urban spaces that are sustainable and inclusive.

Title: Urban planners’ roles, perceptions, needs, and concerns in smart city planning: a survey of U.S. planners
Abstract: 
 In this article, we present insights from planners on their concepts of smart cities and their roles, perceptions, needs, and concerns related to the initiation and/or implementation of smart city projects. Our analysis is based on a survey of professional planners (n = 1,417) throughout the United States to study the tools, efforts, and concerns related to smart city planning. We also explore the role of smart city strategies and technologies in influencing planning processes and the function of cities, planning organizations, and local governments in this process. While most planners consider smart city planning as ‘proactive,’ ‘timely,’ and ‘needed,’ they identify several major issues, including a lack of agreement on what constitutes a smart city; a lack of demand from policymakers and citizens, resulting in little political will to implement smart city technologies; and a gap in understanding of the related issues concerning ethics, equity, and privacy.

Title: Long-established rules and emergent challenges: spatial planning and wildfires in Chile
Abstract: 
 It is generally expected that spatial planning integrates wildfire risk reduction considerations in areas affected by this hazard. However, many spatial planning systems are challenged to adequately deal with this risk. There is a need for applied understandings of planning systems characteristics that facilitate or impede wildfire risk reduction. Accordingly, this research explores spatial planning limitations to the integration of wildfire risk reduction measures by comparing spatial planning and wildfire risk reduction measures based on five key dimensions: structure, realm, spatial scale, territorial boundaries, and time scale. The research used a qualitative case study strategy of the Chilean spatial planning system, employing qualitative content analysis of key documents. The results show that the long-established characteristics of Chile’s spatial planning limit its ability to accommodate wildfire risk reduction measures in the five dimensions analyzed. The research contributes to understanding some of spatial planning’s constraints to manage wider complex challenges.

Title: Politics and planning: land take between the EU soil strategy and local policymaking in Lombardy
Abstract: 
 While the democratic theory of party government contends the importance of accountable decisionmakers’ preferences for policy outputs, the post-politics thesis argues that political differences have become irrelevant after the triumph of neo-liberalism. This paper questions whether politics makes any difference in land-use policy, with specific regard to land take, focusing on attitudes and choices of local elected officers (LEOs) in Italy’s largest region, where legislation on the land take was introduced in 2014. Most LEOs favour limiting land consumption and do not expand developable land. However, such attitude appears to somehow vary according to LEOs’ political leanings, being less common for right-wing administrators. Furthermore, this does not contradict the established pro-development paradigm, as shown by land consumption rates. Typically, under the influence of special interests, local land-use decisions can undermine large-scale strategies aimed at sustainability, such as the European Union’s Soil Strategy.

Title: Addressing the impossible triad – high inequality, decentralized policy and low local capacity – challenges for drinking water policy in Mexico
Abstract: 
 What are the planning challenges faced in addressing equity? This paper discusses the importance of understanding institutional and policy contexts affecting planners’ efforts to close water access gaps across communities in low and middle income countries. Three challenges combined complicate local governments action towards water access: decentralization of water policy, high levels of inequality and low levels of local capacity, what we call the ‘impossible triad.’ Our analysis of two programmes designed to address the needs of the most marginalized communities in Mexico shows that programme requirements still fail to consider local constraints. Prior to decentralization, policies designed to reduce water access inequality relied on national government provision of municipal water infrastructure. Decentralized water policies differ, presenting severe institutional challenges for even the most well intentioned planners. This paper emphasizes the importance of national-level government involvement in addressing national-level inequalities and calls for reconsideration of decentralized policymaking structures to address massive water access inequalities.

Title: Drivers and prospects of over-urbanization of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
Abstract: 
 Over-urbanization appears to be one of the distinctive traits of cities of developing countries because population growth surpasses economic development. This study is among the first research in Africa to examine the major drivers and prospects of over-urbanization. We determined the city's Land Support Capacity (LSC), social accommodation capacity, and crowdness using Yeats and Multiple Regression Models. The theoretical frameworks that guide this study are modernization and dependency theories. Findings showed that Addis Ababa is over-urbanized due to population growth, internal migration, weak economic structure, and policy failure. With an LSC of 0.017, the city is overcrowded, i.e. the population outnumbers the LSC. The regression model showed that household size and income had a significant relationship with crowdness. Effective urban development policies are necessary to balance population growth and economic development. This might be accomplished by curbing Addis Ababa's primacy rate and directing governmental investment toward secondary towns and rural areas.

Title: Railways and urban expansion: how does rail transport affect urban expansion in metropolitan areas? (Warsaw and Copenhagen case)
Abstract: 
 Railway transportation plays a key role in the formation of the spatial structure of metropolitan areas. The metropolitan areas with coherent and regular railways seem to have more disciplined spatial development. The present study aims to express the relationship between the railways and the discipline of spatial structure using a developmental-applied approach. To this end, two metropolitan areas with railway coverage are selected as case studies, and four methods of minimum-distance estimation, spatial regression, fractal geometry, and cellular automata are used to analyze the data. The results indicate that the railway plays a direct role in urban expansion so that, in Copenhagen with an orderly railway network, urban development is channelized around the railway but in Warsaw with a more complicated railway network, urban expansion is more dispersed and located around rail intersections.

Title: Semantic similarities between personality, identity, character, and singularity within the context of the city or urban, neighbourhood, and place in urban planning and design
Abstract: 
 This study investigated literature-based similarities and differences between four interchangeably used concepts in spatial design and planning disciplines: personality, identity, character, and singularity. The methods used were a narrative literature review of monographs, scoping reviews, and meta-analyses of scholarly papers. The purpose of this study was to provide guidance for planners and designers, and to increase their knowledge of the factors that make cities either similar or distinctive. The findings showed that semantic similarities were not observed between these interchangeable concepts and that commonalities were connected to the urban form and everyday lifestyles. These findings show that urban planning and design must consider these four concepts within the context of city (C) or urban (U), the neighbourhood (N), and the place (P) based on different semantic similarities.

Title: Dormitory neighbourhood: the role of studentification in developing low-quality neighbourhood, case of Babolsar, Iran
Abstract: 
 Studentification studies in different contexts have reported diverse impacts on urban areas. The conceptualization of the phenomenon is generally based on experiences from developed countries, while studies in developing contexts are scarce. This research explores a neighbourhood in Babolsar, Iran, where studentification has motivated the transformation of agricultural fields around the University of Mazandaran campus into a residential neighbourhood with a concentration of student accommodation. The mixed method approach shows that the economic and policy background has directly influenced low quality developments of built environment, public spaces and facilities compared to rest of the town. As a result, what we call a ‘Dormitory Neighbourhood’ is shaped around the campus, extending a dormitory’s characteristics into an urban area. Originated from Babolsar context, a dormitory neighbourhood shows to facilitate several processes of urban decline to emerge and evolve in the absence of effective urban development policy.

Title: Tenure responsive land use planning in Ghana: evidence from peri-urban Tamale
Abstract: 
 Due partly to rapid urbanisation and the re-interpretation of customary land tenure, land use planning in Ghana is sometimes associated with tenure insecurities in peri-urban areas. Contributing to the emerging debate on Tenure Responsive Land Use Planning (TR-LUP), this paper assesses the tenure responsiveness of land use planning projects in peri-urban Tamale based on data gathered from in-depth interviews and focus group discussions with key stakeholders. It is argued that the current tenure insecurity challenges that characterised land use planning projects in peri-urban Ghana emanate primarily from limited stakeholder participation, land commodification, re-interpretation of customary land tenure, and weak institutional capacities of local planning agencies. The paper adds insights to the challenges surrounding the applicability of the TR-LUP concept by highlighting how land use planning influences tenure security in customary land tenure contexts. Finally, it proposes policy measures to protect the land use rights of peri-urban dwellers.

Title: Inside-out in creative industry-led urban regeneration: the roles of developers in Liverpool and Bristol compared
Abstract: 
 In order to generate a better understanding of the real estate development industry that eventually (re)shapes our urban landscape, this paper explores the potentially different development behaviours and outcomes between insider and outsider developers in creative industry-led urban regeneration. Viewing real estate development as an institutionally loaded process, this paper distils developers’ disparities in seeking development inputs, delivering products and securing transactions, which bear major implications for their innovation readiness and competency in urban regeneration. Paintworks in Bristol and Baltic Triangle in Liverpool UK are used as case studies to illustrate how insider and outsider developers forge their unique development logic and products under specific market and institutional contexts.

Title: Does residential mobility affect educational outcomes? Evidence from Chile
Abstract: 
 There is mixed evidence about the effects of residential mobility on children’s educational outcomes. In 2013, the Chilean Ministry of Housing implemented a social housing demolition programme, which focused on projects with severe structural and overcrowding problems. Residents from demolished buildings received a subsidy to relocate. In this paper, I conduct a two-way fixed effects analysis and mediation analysis to explore if residential mobility during school years affects attendance and grades for children who moved with this programme, compared to those who were eligible but did not move. Using data for the 2012–2018 period, I find that moving is associated with a decrease in attendance, but the decrease is reduced if the distance between housing and the school is less than 1 km. Moving is not associated with a change in grades, but attendance is, and acts as a mediator between moving and grades.

Title: Reflections on the hierarchy of the spatial planning system in Greece (1999–2020)
Abstract: 
 The hierarchy of planning tools allows for rigorous guidance of decision-making at the local level driven by a broader purpose determined at a higher level of policy formulation. The aim of this paper is to challenge the concept of hierarchy examining the structure of the Greek spatial planning system as derived from the basic institutional framework and through its legal principles. Hierarchy is explored as a result of a consensual process in decision making while case-law is used as a methodological tool in order for special parameters in framing spatial planning to be recognised.

Title: Transit Oriented Development (TOD) in São Paulo: spatial analysis shows advances, but not sufficient social inclusion
Abstract: 
 Large contemporary cities demand complex solutions that integrate and territorialize different public policies based on evidence data. In São Paulo, Transit Oriented Development (TOD) has been used as an integrated urban and transport planning tool to promote a more sustainable and inclusive development of the city since the last City Master Plan (2014), approved after much resistance from the sector real estate. After almost a decade of implementation, spatial research reveals a desirable urban density, with a significant increase in the number of real estate projects built and a reduction in the size of housing units in these areas. However, low-income households have not been sufficiently included in the growth of TOD areas due to rising property prices. We argue that in cities with high social inequality, such as São Paulo, TOD guidelines should be adjusted based on specific socio-spatial and legal contexts to promote more inclusive and sustainable development.

Title: A systematic review of shrinking cities literature: lessons from the past and directions for the future
Abstract: 
 This study sheds light on the state of knowledge on shrinking cities over the past four decades by identifying major thematic clusters, conceptual evolutions, and key players. The bibliometric analysis tools of VOSviewer and SciMAT were used to analyze 562 documents indexed in the Scopus and Web of Science (WoS) databases. The publication trend was divided into three subperiods: the genesis period (1978–2004), the growth period (2004–2015), and the rapid growth period (2015–2021). The most significant conceptual evolution in the field occurred between 2004 and 2015. Three thematic clusters were identified: (1) urban policy and planning, (2) physical and ecological planning, and (3) demographic and regional development. This review highlights that issues related to governance and regional, physical, and ecological planning have attracted more attention. Moving beyond past research, we provide four promising areas for further research in shrinking city studies.

Title: Boundary spanning in design-led strategic spatial planning: lessons from post-Sandy rebuilding efforts
Abstract: 
 In complex area transformations, strategic planning tends to include a collaborative approach that invites a wide range of stakeholders. But because the perspectives and interests are diverse, partly conflicting, and dynamic, a unifying plan of action will not emerge without good process design and proper facilitation for dialogue. Designers are increasingly considered as helpful for pursuing a shared vision of a complex challenge, as they are expected to unify across organizational and cultural boundaries. We interviewed 11 professionals who worked on the Rebuild by Design programme (restoring hurricane Sandy damage in and around New York) for more than five years. The interviews reveal how these designers supported reaching across boundaries as well as the conditions that are vital for designers to achieve their intended added value in a collaborative strategic planning process.

Title: Blindness and illumination of state spatial strategies in producing extended urban space: a case from Cepu oil and gas mining area, Indonesia
Abstract: 
 This paper explains the contradictions embedded within various hierarchical spatial regulations that play a role in facilitating or hindering the extended urbanization processes. By taking the case of the largest oil and gas area producers in the hinterland region of Cepu, we analyzed the content of spatial policies from the national to local levels related to oil and gas mining, regional infrastructure, and urban centre using TPSN (territory, place, scale, network) framework to reveal the knowledge production of spatial dimensions. As a result, we revealed Lefebvre's blind field concept as a metaphor for blindness and illumination of territorial regulation to explain the coherence and disharmony of multiscale spatial plans, although in the integrated spatial management framework. These findings contribute to the concept of state spatial strategies in mediating the production of the operational landscape for the upstream-midstream oil and gas sector.

Title: Ka mua, ka muri (looking backwards into the future): investigating government’s solutions to addressing uneven regional development in New Zealand/Aotearoa
Abstract: 
 This article examines New Zealand’s historical, geographical, political, and economic-driven regional disparities and evaluates successive government policies aiming to address these inequities. By utilising the Māori proverb ‘ka mua ka muri’ for discourse analysis, we chronologically categorise regional development policies into three periods: pre-neoliberal reform, post-reform until 2017, and recent government investments in regions. Our study highlights recurring policy failures due to factors such as short-term political vision, and an emphasis on competitive over comparative advantages in resource allocation. To rectify past shortcomings, we propose a dual framework grounded in Universalism and Particularism, suggesting a national spatial strategy paired with tailored regional development policies.

Title: Geodesign in historical process: case study insights for improving theory and practice
Abstract: 
 Geodesign theory and practice may be informed and strengthened by studying contrasts between contemporary perspectives and historical processes. In this paper, we disaggregate contemporary geodesign into three trajectories found in the literature: (1) tightly coupled design and impact simulations, (2) a framework for landscape planning, and (3) an organic process. Augmenting these trajectories with two taxonomies of geodesign elements, we look for evidence of geodesign in a longitudinal descriptive case study. Analysis reveals a story of design and planning unfolding over a long period of time at multiple geographic scales interwoven with persistent conflict. The case revealed evidence of geodesign approaches and elements in historical planning and design. The events studied also led to high-quality outcomes that are diffusing regionally. Results of this investigation yield implications for improved geodesign practice and theory including broadening the discourse around geodesign to include time and conflict and expanding geodesign's theoretical frameworks.

Title: An integrated approach of gravity modelling and spatial planning: the example of US megaregions
Abstract: 
 Many theoretical works aim to describe the spatial structure of the US, where spatial relations have undergone continuous change. The authors describe the economic spatial structure of the US through bidimensional regression analysis based on a gravity model. The spatial image of megaregions can be examined by can be examined through comparison with the authors' practical results. To what extent does the structure of the economic space justify megaregional delimitations? The most important economic spatial structural changes between 2001 and 2020 have also been identified. Moreover, the forces behind changes, which are seen as potential for development, are examined. Our goal is not to create and present a new model that overwrites the existing ones, but rather to contribute to deeper understanding of the US economic spatial structure and its relation to megaregions through a new methodological approach.

Title: How can mega-events contribute to urban tourism in developing countries? A case study of the 2016 G20 Summit in Hangzhou, China
Abstract: 
 Hangzhou is a representative tourism city of natural culture, which has been widely accepted by both domestic and foreign tourists. The success of the 2016 G20 Summit has injected new spirit and connotations into the city’s image. The main purpose of the paper is to investigate how the summit affects Hangzhou’s tourism image and from what aspect it has improved the urban competitiveness of Hangzhou. The statistical data based on questionnaires shows that the G20 Summit does have a great impact on Hangzhou’s tourism development. Furthermore, multivariate factor analysis for the collected data reveals that the summit has the greatest impact on tourism resources and public transport in Hangzhou, which shows that the G20 has a long-term and sustainable impact on the city.

Title: Reimagining alternative future development trajectories of shrinking Finnish cities
Abstract: 
 Shrinking cities are seen as places with poor development prospects, as places that should adjust to given future realities of shrinkage. However, because the future is open to many alternative possibilities, shrinking cities also have a variety of alternative futures to which earlier research has paid less attention. This study aims to identify and analyse the alternative future development trajectories of shrinking cities. In this study, the futures research method called futures wheel is utilized to analyse possible future consequences of 24 different forces of change that can steer the future development of shrinking cities. By combining the futures wheel method with qualitative data from eight shrinking Finnish cities, we can reveal possible future development paths that may result from the forces. Overall, our results show that shrinking cities have various alternative future development trajectories leading to various outcomes. Some of the forces may intensify the current negative effects caused by urban shrinkage. By contrast, other forces can radically change future development.

Title: Mind the gap: revitalizing action planning through social networks in Yogyakarta
Abstract: 
 Against the backdrop of increasingly complex urban systems, grassroot communities in cities are rolling out small-scale initiatives as a way to address contemporary urban problems. However, the initiatives are not always in line with the formal planning conducted by the government. This study aims to investigate the interaction between the government and grassroots actors under the context of self-governed grassroots initiatives by using the ‘Marginal School Community’ social network structure in Yogyakarta as an example case. Using social network analysis with 77 actors entailed in the community’s activities, this study shows an alternative interaction between the government and the grassroots within an action planning process. The paper reflects on these examples and suggests an alternative way that cities may be planned and governed in the future, adopting a more grassroots-based planning approach based on collaboration, negotiation and mutuality.

Title: Exploring Arctic housing and village planning based on Maslow's hierarchy of needs
Abstract: 
 This article examines northern communities undergoing environmental and cultural change that might affect communal identity, well-being and cultural viability. Many Arctic communities are vulnerable to climate change impacts. In some areas, the changes are fast, and some villages have even faced the need to relocate or change their village structure. Village planning has focused on practical issues such as energy efficiency, infrastructure, construction methods and material choices, and funding challenges. This article uses Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory to examine how local communities’ social and cultural needs have been taken into account in the implemented village relocation in the 1950s, an existing village, and a recent planning project. The aim is to highlight needs that do not necessarily rise to the centre of design and planning and to justify the need for place-based planning.

Title: What happens to the residential land value with the construction of megamalls? (Evidence from Tabriz)
Abstract: 
 Megamalls affect their surrounding areas while meeting the needs of citizens, but the amount of these effects can vary in different areas of the city according to the contextual characteristics; In this research, the type and extent of the spatial effects of four megamalls in Tabriz on the surrounding areas have been investigated. The main question of this study is ‘How do the megamalls built in Tabriz affect their vicinities?’ In order to analyze the spatial data related to the spatial value of the city, Moran and Kriging analyses have been used. Next, with the help of a treated-control, linear trend line analysis and difference-in-difference techniques, the data related to the surrounding area of each of the megamalls were analyzed. The results show that the impact of megamalls on the surrounding areas is greater in valuable urban areas.

Title: A smart city for all citizens: an exploration of children’s participation in Norway’s smartest city
Abstract: 
 In recent years, a 'participatory turn' has emerged as a remedy to counter top-down and techno-centric smart city development approaches. While this shift in smart city policies and strategies offers promise, it also presents challenges. This paper scrutinizes the participatory shift within smart city policies and initiatives in Stavanger, Norway, a pioneer and driving force for smart city development in Northern Europe. Using a qualitative case study of the Lervig Smart Park project, with a particular focus on the inclusion of children and youth, we investigate the methods of participation employed and the stages at which children are integrated into the planning process. Our findings underscore the beneficial outcomes of including children and youth in the Lervig Park design process, yet also reveal significant limitations, especially in the perception of children as capable political subjects and the absence of suitable methodological tools for their engagement across planning phases.

Title: The role and significance of planning consultants as intermediary-actors: between and amongst government, civic society and the market
Abstract: 
 The paper discusses the role of private planning consultants as intermediary-actors and their implications in relation to planning theory and practice. To do so, the paper focuses on niche consultants involved in servicing neighbourhood scale plan-making in England, clarifying that they hold crucial agency in local planning processes and adding to the understanding of consultancy roles and co-production dynamics in planning. The paper draws together the literature on private sector consultancy and on intermediaries, along with theoretical work highlighting the diversification of planning, the rise of the collaborative turn and the effect of regulation on creating niche markets in planning expertise. The conclusions drawn help clarify the ‘action on others’ that planning consultants, as intermediary-actors, have in collaborative governance and planning in and beyond neighbourhood planning.
