Title: Stewardship of the Built Environment in England: Lessons for Developing Sustainable Communities
Abstract:
This paper explores the role of stewardship in
developing sustainable communities. It begins with a discussion of
historical examples of landowners taking a long-term view of the
development and management of the built environment, and contrasts these
with the short-term view of development taken by the contemporary UK
housebuilding industry. It then presents a case study of contemporary
private-sector stewardship, which is seen as an example of best practice
in the creation of sustainable communities, and explores the strengths and
weaknesses of this approach. The paper concludes with a discussion of the
potential of private-sector-led stewardship to produce high-quality
development and its lessons for creating sustainable communities.

Title: Shaping Urban Form without Zoning: Investigating Three Neighbourhoods in Houston
Abstract:
Houston is the only major city in North America
without zoning. The growth of Houston illustrates a traditional free
market philosophy in which zoning is seen as a violation to private
property rights. This paper examines how the lack of zoning has an impact
on land use and urban form in Houston. It uses cluster analysis
integrating socioeconomic factors to select three case study
neighbourhoods, and then applies geographical information systems to
analyse their urban form spatial characteristics. The study investigates
the change of urban form in three neighbourhoods over two decades. The
analysis is accompanied by a qualitative investigation of the
neighbourhoods, which attempts to address why and how those quantified
characteristics of urban form developed over the decades. The paper
concludes by discussing the similarity and diversity of land-use patterns
and the reasons, by outlining policy implications from the findings on
urban form, and by contributing to the debate over urban form and
government intervention in better land-use patterns.

Title: Policy-maker Perspectives on Youth Health and the Built Environment: Focus Groups with Atlantic Canadian Planners
Abstract:
As obesity rates have climbed, the planning
literature has identified possible connections between health and the
built environment. This paper reports on the results of focus group
discussions with planners and policy-members in Atlantic Canada, a region
with high youth obesity rates. Planner participants showed limited
knowledge of the way that planning and zoning policies could affect
healthy eating options for youth. They believed that the built environment
affected mobility outcomes but commonly attributed obesity to lifestyle
choices. The research identifies the need for greater communication and
collaboration amongst different government departments and levels to
increase understanding of potential links between the built environment
and health outcomes for youth.

Title: Equalization and Compensation in Italy: Empirical Evidence for a New National Planning Act
Abstract:
Recent developments in Italian planning practice
have brought about major innovations within the planning system. One of
these major innovations concerns new development rights granting practices
that are used by local planning authorities to secure community facilities
and services, capture some betterment value and avoid using procedures of
compulsory acquisition. Over time the use of these tools has increased
consistently, varying between regions and master-plans. In some cases the
legitimacy of such practices has been questioned, and recent developments
in regional administrative jurisprudence confirmed such doubts in relation
to the Rome master-plan. It is believed that this judgement could then
become case-law for future decisions relative to other master-plans. It
must be recognized that the debate about a new national planning act to
regulate the use of such practices has been continuing for more than a
decade. In this paper the need for a new national regulation is evidenced
through an empirical approach by analysing three case studies that show
the probable consequences the lack of such a regulation could have on
master-plans.

Title: Planning for Subterranean Residential Development in the UK
Abstract:
There has been a significant growth in the
number of subterranean residential developments over the past 10 years in
the UK, particularly within London. While they may present little visible
evidence above ground, such developments can have significant impacts on
sustainability, amenity and environmental quality. Nevertheless, few local
planning authorities have developed specific policies in response to such
developments. This article outlines the results and implications of
research that investigated the approach of four London local planning
authorities to such development, with a particular focus on the Royal
Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, which has developed more detailed
policy for subterranean development than any other authority. The article
suggests that more effective outcomes for sustainability, amenity and
environmental quality could be achieved by more general application of
policy for subterranean development, with implications also for contexts
outside the UK.

Title: Transforming the Suburban Landscape: One Community's Attempt to Adapt to a Knowledge-based Economy
Abstract:
Recent events in the world economy have impacted
US governments at every level from the national to the local. This paper
investigates one local community's effort to stimulate economic
development in the wake of the world financial crisis. New Castle County,
Delaware initiated an ambitious economic development planning effort to
try to stem the tide of job losses and create an opportunity for job
growth in emerging sectors. While dealing with the challenges of a
weakened economy, they faced a unique opportunity resulting from the
expansion of a nearby military base. Through the planning process they
discovered that a major impediment to economic development was their
existing suburban development form. Based on an in-depth case study, this
paper reveals the challenges that suburban environments face as they try
to adapt to changing economic and social settings. In many instances,
traditional forms of suburban settlement are obsolete and community's need
to take bold actions to redirect growth patterns in the suburbs. The
solutions that they crafted in large part reflect an effort to transform
their physical setting to accommodate a more diverse, sustainable and
aesthetically pleasing environment. The lessons learned reveal the
particular challenges of a suburban community in adapting to a
knowledge-based economy.

Title: Strategic Spatial Planning in Berlin-Brandenburg: A Requiem for Balanced Development?
Abstract:
This practice review examines
Berlin-Brandenburg's new strategic spatial planning framework and
considers, in particular, whether balanced development in this context is
now simply a neo-liberal fig leaf and mantra acting as policy cover for
more pragmatic accommodations in harsh times. The article concludes that
such a judgement would be too harsh with the concept continuing to mould
creative engagement by decision-makers.

Title: Spatial Planning and the New Localism
Abstract:
This special issue looks at spatial planning and
the new localism, focusing on the recent changes to policy in England
following the May 2010 elections when the Coalition government came to
power. As Bas Waterhout, Frank Othengrafen and Olivier Sykes note in their
contribution, changes in English planning seem to be more frequent and
more dramatic than in many other European countries. Partly in consequence
of this, planners and critics in other countries watch carefully the
English experience for what they can learn about reforming planning
systems.

Title: The Evolution and Trajectories of English Spatial Governance: 'Neoliberal' Episodes in Planning
Abstract:
English planning again finds itself in a
transition from one paradigm-spatial planning-to another-localism. Whilst
there is uncertainty and a debate over the significance of these changes
and whether they represent a rupture or evolution, we argue in this paper
that such change is best understood within the framework of
neoliberalization. Seen from this perspective planning is a form of, or
contributor to, neoliberal spatial governance. We explore how such an
understanding helps explain temporal, spatial, and sectoral variance in
planning as well as some of the characteristics of recent planning
including scalar change, signature policy moments, resistance, tensions,
and insurgent movements. We finally turn to some possible implications of
the emerging paradigm.

Title: The Greenest Government Ever? Planning and Sustainability in England after the May 2010 Elections
Abstract:
This paper assesses how reforms being introduced in England
by the May 2010 Coalition government may affect the capacity of the
planning system to promote sustainability. Although moves towards
decentralization may allow more innovative local responses to
environmental challenges than seemed likely under New Labour, they raise
dilemmas of coordination, capacity and accountability for wider,
international environmental goals. In certain key respects, the
implications of the Coalition's proposals for sustainability and planning
echo those of preceding Labour governments. Neither allows planning a
major role in more reflexive forms of governance, through which localized
challenges to plans and projects can be connected to wider, overarching
policy change. Both have sought to increase the emphasis on economic
growth in their conception of sustainability.

Title: The New Contractualism, the Privatization of the Welfare State, and the Barriers to Open Source Planning
Abstract:
This paper argues that the UK government's Open
Source Planning reforms are founded on a caricatured vision of
state-society relationships. Simple binaries are deployed that present
political power as a zero-sum game with 'communities' on the one side and
state 'bureaucracies' on the other. There has been little recognition of
the complex public-private sector entanglements left by the previous
Labour government and the power of the 'new contractualism' in shaping the
provision and ownership of welfare services and assets. The paper assesses
the legacies of privatization under Labour and the structural limits that
contracts and private financing now put on the governance and management
of the welfare state and the planning system. It contends that the
principle sources of state power and accountability that underpinned the
post-war settlement are being eroded. Paradoxically, this will not devolve
power to local communities and citizens but create new forms of distancing
and disempowerment.

Title: Towards Post-political Consensus in Urban Policy? Localism and the Emerging Agenda for Regeneration Under the Cameron Government
Abstract:
The paper explores recent experience of urban
policy in England and provides an assessment of its evolution and future
prospects under the Cameron government. It explores the contention that
urban policy has undergone a fundamental repositioning in which
neo-liberal ideas, linked to the emerging localism agenda, have begun to
exert a profound shift in the role of the state in formulating and
delivering policy. The paper argues that neo-liberal thinking increasingly
permeates contemporary policy, but that this exists alongside a residual
(but diminishing) emphasis on socio-spatial dimensions of equity. This,
the paper concludes, reflects the emergence of a degree of post-political
consensus around the role for urban policy and the mechanisms for its
delivery.

Title: The Delusion of Strategic Spatial Planning: What's Left After the Labour Government's English Regional Experiment?
Abstract:
In the UK, the Labour government (1997-2010) introduced
various experiments to uplift English regional and sub-regional spatial
strategy to a more prominent position in sub-national governance but much
of this has been subsequently guillotined by the incoming Coalition
government in May 2010. This paper assesses the prospect for the survival
of strategic spatial thinking under the Coalition government's ethos of
'localism'. It first considers some of the broad conceptual issues
relating to strategic spatial planning, identifying three key conundrums
around flexibility of scaling, institutional structures and capacity, and
core values and forms of knowledge. It then provides one of the first
comprehensive accounts of what was achieved during the outgoing Labour
administration, and what ultimately went wrong with the English regional
planning project. Finally, an initial assessment is made of the future
prospects for strategic planning in England to survive in new spatial
contexts, despite the hostile conditions associated with the Coalition
government.

Title: Rescaling of Planning and Its Interface with Economic Development
Abstract:
Following the installation of a UK Coalition
Government in 2010, ways of governing the spatial organization of
development have undergone far-reaching change in England. Within a
context of austerity following the abolition of regional policy machinery,
and an onerous national target framework, localities are entering a new
phase of incentivized development. Consequently, local planning
authorities are having to transfer part of their focus from
government's 'top-down' requirements, as they come to embrace more
adequately 'bottom-up' neighbourhood scale plans. Analysing the path of
change, especially at the interface between planning and economic
development, the paper draws attention to the dilemmas arising from these
crucial scale shifts, and explores the potential of sub-national
governance entities-Local Enterprise Partnerships-to help resolve the
strategic co-ordination of planning.

Title: The Remodeling of Decision Making on Major Infrastructure in Britain
Abstract:
The UK government passed the 2008 Planning Act in
order to reform the process for decisions on major infrastructure
projects. Previously, this had been dealt with under the main town and
country planning system, with the use of public inquiries, alongside
sectoral consenting procedures. Here, the reasons for this legislation are
explored, including revisions made by the Localism Act 2011, embedding
this within an understanding of the broadly business friendly drives of
all UK governments in recent years. Detailed assessment is made of the two
main instruments used in England: national policy statements (NPSs) and
the Infrastructure Planning Commission/National Infrastructure
Directorate. This suggests that detailed implementation has generated
certain contradictory or unexpected effects. A comparison is made with a
very different approach in Scotland. An assessment is made of the
significance of the law, given the political economic realities in which
the new system's early life will be evolving.

Title: Neo-liberalization Processes and Spatial Planning in France, Germany, and the Netherlands: An Exploration
Abstract:
'Is the English experience distinctive?' It is
this question, asked by the guest editors of this Special Issue, that
triggered this article focusing on the impact of neo-liberal ideologies on
planning in Germany, France, and the Netherlands. The multi-faceted
concept of neo-liberalism is used here as a perspective to interpret the
recent developments in the three countries. Proposed changes to planning
in England are also briefly considered. Although there are clear
differences in the magnitude and actual manifestation of neo-liberalism in
planning across the analyzed countries, with England clearly showing some
of the more radical and disruptive effects, there seems to be a clear
direction in which planning in North West Europe is heading. Due to
processes of globalization, individualization, and Europeanization,
questions also arise in each country regarding the position and objectives
of planning. Neo-liberalization processes tend to further accentuate these
questions as planning more often than not is grounded on a different set
of principles. Yet, this does not necessarily completely dissociate
planning from neo-liberalism. In particular, the French and German
experiences indicate that even in broadly 'neo-liberal times', there is
still a demand for spatial planning.

Title: Improving Visual Attractiveness to Enhance City-River Integration-A Methodological Approach for Ongoing Evaluation
Abstract:
The relationship between
rivers and cities has evolved from a natural coexistence and
interdependence to a progressive relationship of segregation and
disintegration. This article uses a planning experiment to explore and
discuss some concerns about visual attractiveness of city-river landscapes
in promoting spatial integration of cities and rivers. It presents a
methodological approach integrating expert opinions and public perception
questionnaires. This is a contribution to making operational an ongoing
aesthetic assessment of different dimensions and viewpoints at the city
scale. This approach is illustrated with a case-study in the Lisbon
metropolitan area and its main assessment results are integrated in a
city-river profile that can be useful in ongoing evaluation processes of
river landscapes and urban planning practice.

Title: Inclusion and Transparency in Planning Decision-Making: Planning Officer Reports to the Planning Committee
Abstract:
Language is central to effective communication
and communication is the foundation of the current orthodoxy in planning
theory. For communication to be effective in fostering the greater public
engagement in planning demanded by communicative and collaborative
planning theorists it must be inclusive and transparent. This article
examines the language used in the reports produced by planning officers in
UK development control decision-making. These reports to planning
committees are the only documents available to the public that communicate
the local planning authority's assessment of a planning application before
a decision is made. They are, therefore, a crucial communication tool in
planning and yet are rarely the subject of research. The results of the
content analysis of these reports suggests that far from being in the
mould of communicative and collaborative planning theory they remain
exclusive and shrouded in the language of the rational professional
expert.

Title: Form Follows Function? How America Zones
Abstract:
For nearly a hundred
years, most urban development control in the United States has been
exercised through functional zoning-a system that divides cities into
blocks of land and assigns a functional class to each (e.g. residential,
business, industrial). Over the last few decades, however, much attention
has been focused on the need to reform the system. Reform advocates have
criticized conventional zoning on economic, social and environmental
grounds and have proposed a number of alternatives, including performance
zoning and form-based zoning. A literature review may leave one with the
impression that the old system has reached its expiration date and its
alternatives are gaining speed. But research has yet to systematically
examine the state of US zoning in
practice . Has zoning practice caught up
with emerging concepts in planning theory regarding the importance of
mixed use in cities? This article attempts to help answer this question by
studying zoning practice in 25 of America's largest cities. First, it
introduces aggregate data on the 25 selected cities and then it discusses
four case studies in greater depth (Cleveland, Fort Worth, Denver and Las
Vegas). Based on the findings, the article argues that although several
attempts to reform the zoning system are underway in practice, the
system's core premises are yet to be fundamentally changed.

Title: 'Where Have All the Trees Gone?' Urban Consolidation and the Demise of Urban Vegetation: A Case Study from Western Australia
Abstract:
Despite a vast body of empirical evidence
emphasizing the significance of urban landscapes for improved quality of
life, academic literature examining the impacts of urban consolidation on
established vegetation and trees remain limited. This paper outlines the
economic, social and environmental benefits of urban vegetation and trees
and investigates the consequences of urban consolidation on established
vegetation and trees in Como, an inner suburb, south of Perth, Western
Australia (WA). It presents data from a longitudinal study utilizing
photographic evidence and visual observations over several years. This
study reveals an overwhelming trend for the removal of all landscaping
when land is redeveloped under the current policy direction of urban
consolidation. This paper investigates the importance of urban vegetation
and trees, as a significant and valuable proportion of 'greenery' in urban
areas. A conclusion drawn is that there exists little or no incentive for
developers to preserve established urban vegetation and trees and only
limited capacity to regulate for the protection of established 'greenery'
in the private domain. Finally, the authors provide some recommendations,
which emerge from this research.

Title: Brindleyplace, Birmingham: Creating an Inner City Mixed-use Development in Times of Recession
Abstract:
This article tells the story of Brindleyplace, a pioneering
mixed-use development in Birmingham, UK. It describes how the development
was delivered according to a masterplan and pioneering 'partnering
arrangements whereby contractors were involved with architects in
designing the buildings. The scheme created new commercial squares,
brought activity to historic canalsides, and included the first private
housing development of any significance in inner city Birmingham since the
Second World War. However, it could have been very different. The City
Council assembled the site, set out a vision, and selected a consortium of
developers. During a recession, a new and more flexible masterplan was
developed. When the site went into receivership, the Council was able to
enforce clauses in the development agreement with the result that the
receiver sold it to a new developer, Argent, for a fraction of the price
paid four years previously. Argent subsequently constructed individual
buildings as and when the market allowed. What happened therefore
illustrates the role of external events, in this case, the property crash
of 1989, in the development process, as well as the contribution that can
be made by a robust yet flexible vision and a masterplan emphasizing
quality of design. It shows how property development is not necessarily a
linear process and that public sector land owners can sometimes achieve
positive outcomes by taking advantage of opportunities opened up by
financial distress.

Title: Resilience and Climate Change Adaptation: The Importance of Framing
Abstract:
In the Australian policy context, there has recently been a
discernible shift in the discourse used when considering responses to the
impacts of current weather extremes and future climate change. Commonly
used terminology, such as climate change impacts and vulnerability, is now
being increasingly replaced by a preference for language with more
positive connotations as represented by resilience and a focus on the
'strengthening' of local communities. However, although this contemporary
shift in emphasis has largely political roots, the scientific conceptual
underpinning for resilience, and its relationship with climate change
action, remains contested. To contribute to this debate, the authors argue
that how adaptation is framed-in this case by the notion of resilience-can
have an important influence on agenda setting, on the subsequent
adaptation pathways that are pursued and on eventual adaptation outcomes.
Drawing from multi-disciplinary adaptation research carried out in
three urban case studies in the State of Victoria, Australia
('Framing multi-level and multi-actor adaptation
responses in the Victorian context', funded by the Victorian Centre for
Climate Change Adaptation Research (2010-2012)), this article is
structured according to three main discussion points. Firstly, the
importance of being explicit when framing adaptation; secondly, this study
reflects on how resilience is emerging as part of adaptation discourse and
narratives in different scientific, research and policy-making
communities; and finally, the authors reflect on the implications of
resilience framing for evolving adaptation policy and practice.

Title: Resilience, Talk and Action: Exploring the Meanings of Resilience in the Context of Planning and Institutions
Abstract:
The meaning of the word resilience varies according to the
social context. To enhance a dynamic understanding of resilience, the
paper analyses its elusive character from a sensemaking perspective.
Resilience is understood as a content of sensemaking processes in the
context of a crisis. Four processes are explored in some detail using
findings from a case study about dealing with an extreme flood event in a
small town in Germany. These four processes are commitment to resilience,
expecting resilience, arguing about resilience and resilience and
manipulation. Implications for planning research and practice are thereby
revealed.

Title: Evolutionary Resilience and Strategies for Climate Adaptation
Abstract:
The aim of this study is to develop a framework by drawing on
three broad perspectives on resilience, engineering, ecological and
evolutionary, and to use this framework to critically examine the approach
adopted by the draft London climate change adaptation strategy. The
central argument of the study is that the Strategy's emergency
planning-centred approach to climate adaptation veers between a standard
ecological understanding of resilience and the more rigid engineering
model. Its emphasis is on identifying 'exposure' and 'vulnerability' to
risk from climate events and on bouncing back from the consequences of
such exposures to a normal state, rather than on the dynamic process of
transformation to a more desirable trajectory. The study concludes that
fostering resilience involves planning for not only recovery from shocks
but also cultivating preparedness, and seeking potential transformative
opportunities which emerge from change.

Title: Towards Next-Generation Urban Resilience in Planning Practice: From Securitization to Integrated Place Making
Abstract:
Resilience is a concept incorporating a vast range of
contemporary risks and over recent years has become increasingly important
to our understanding of contemporary planning policy and practice. This
paper examines the changing nature of resilience strategies since 2000 and
highlights how planners increasingly are asked to contribute to this
agenda. Drawing on the emerging theories of urban resilience, this paper
charts the emergence of different 'styles' of resilience over the last
decade in the UK, with an emphasis on a range of policies associated with
designing safer spaces. Emerging lessons are then deployed to highlight
how a new generation of urban resilience practice is now emerging
associated with embedding resiliency into local place-making activities.
This paper concludes by reflecting upon the multiple uses of resilience in
planning practice.

Title: Framing the Long-Term Impact of Mega-Event Strategies on the Development of Olympic Host Cities
Abstract:
Mega-event strategies and their impact on the development of
host cities have drawn increasing interest as they have become part of
wider city development strategies. Studies of mega-event strategies have
tended to focus on a single perspective such as economic rationale and
impact. As greater attention is paid to their long-term impact, there is a
need for more comprehensive evaluation combining economic, social and
environmental perspectives, and assessing the management of competing
objectives. This paper proposes a comprehensive analytical framework for
examining the multiple long-term impacts of mega-events on host cities. It
illustrates the use of the framework through two examples of the Summer
Olympics as the archetypal mega-event.

Title: Reform on the Frontline: Reflections on Implementing Spatial Planning in England, 2004-2008
Abstract:
The modernization of governance systems continues
to heavily impact the practice of planning in the UK, as in many
countries. The UK Coalition government has moved quickly to introduce a
programme of planning reform, particularly in plan-making. Yet this was
also a focus for major reforms introduced by the previous Labour
government, namely, the local development framework (LDF) system which was
meant to encapsulate a shift to a spatial planning approach in England.
This paper draws on extensive empirical material to consider the views of
frontline local authority planners to the new system as it was put into
place. Drawing on implementation theory and highlighting differing
conceptions as to where the cause of problems enacting the new system lay,
I argue that detailed consideration of the frontline is vital if we are to
better understand the contours of modernization.

Title: 'Regions Out-Sub-regions In'-Can Sub-regional Planning Break the Mould? The View from England
Abstract:
A number of fundamental concerns have been raised over the
recent abolition of regional economic and planning institutions processes
and associated plans and strategies in England. In particular, questions
have arisen over the strength and democratic accountability of the new
arrangements emerging at a sub-regional scale-namely local enterprise
partnerships (LEPs) that as yet have neither legal powers nor any formal
planning role. Consequently, this article critically assesses the role,
provenance and value of the abolished regional institutions together with
the parallel criticisms. It also examines the potential for LEPs as their
replacement and to develop into democratically accountable, locally
self-determined strategic planning bodies.

Title: Planning for Polycentricity in European Metropolitan Areas-Challenges, Expectations and Practices
Abstract:
This paper discusses current challenges, expectations and
practices related to an increasingly applied normative concept, namely
that of planning to become (or to maintain) a 'polycentric' metropolitan
area. Based on findings provided by a group of spatial planners from 12
metropolitan areas across Europe, the concept of polycentricity is
explored along three thematic strands. The paper draws particular
attention to the major rationales articulated by practitioners; efforts to
set in motion an in-depth debate within an international group; and
planners' experiences with regard to the concept's applicability.

Title: The Regeneration Process of Entertainment Zones and the Business Improvement Area Model: A Comparison Between Toronto and Vancouver
Abstract:
This paper examines the regeneration process of two
entertainment zones in Canada, both of which involve business improvement
areas (BIAs) within the local governing structure. The main objective is
to analyse the arrangement of local governance and the corresponding
influence on the regeneration strategy in each context. Resultantly, it is
clear that local governance structure holds significant impact on project
outcome, which in both cases has led to similar regeneration strategies
with regard to place-making and economic revitalization. As a
recommendation moving forward, the BIA model might be twinned with a
sustainability assessment of the site in order to produce a more strategic
approach to urban regeneration.

Title: The Role of Anticipatory Governance in Local Climate Adaptation: Observations from Australia
Abstract:
Anticipatory governance is emerging in the literature and
practice as a form of decision-making which attempts to deal with climate
change complexities and uncertainties. Underpinning the anticipatory
governance approach to decision-making is a three-step process which
includes future analysis, flexibility of strategies and monitoring and
action. This paper adopts the anticipatory governance and its three-step
approach as a framework to investigate two Australian local government
adaptation initiatives. It discusses the challenges local governments face
in taking the lead through anticipatory governance to address climate
change adaptation in their planning efforts. The paper aims to contribute
analytical insights into adaptation planning at the local scale through
anticipatory governance.

Title: Volunteered Geographic Information: Potential Implications for Participatory Planning
Abstract:
Innovative geovisualization interfaces have created the
opportunity for almost anyone with a reliable internet connection to
generate and publicize their own maps and geographic information. Such
advances have led to what Goodchild (2007) has come to term 'volunteered
geographic information' (VGI): digital spatial data that are created by
individuals who use the tools described above to disseminate their
geographic data. Volunteered geographic information are receiving
increasing consideration as researchers begin to develop a research agenda
for examining their societal significance and authors have made some
recent attempts to consider how VGI might facilitate new forms of
activism, participatory democracy and neighbourhood empowerment. This
paper briefly reviews three interrelated ways in which VGI could be
incorporated into planning processes: in terms of creating increasingly
open public contributions; its content and characteristics, and the
purposes for which these new data sources might be proactively used in a
local context.

Title: Mainstreaming Climate in the Classroom: Teaching Climate Change Planning
Abstract:
Climate change planning, both mitigation (reducing greenhouse
gasses) and adaptation (designing built environments for changed climate
conditions), is an area of emerging importance in both planning practice
and education. This research examines the uptake of climate issues in
planning education programs primarily in the US, and compares course
content to leading climate change planning practice and research concepts.
Studio and seminar courses are emerging in various universities, and are
addressing many of the key research concepts for mitigation and
adaptation. Beyond stand-alone classes, the article argues the need to
mainstream climate considerations in core planning curricula. Modeling
this pedagogy will encourage our students to normalize climate
considerations as they enter the profession.

Title: The Mechanics of Sustaining Spaces for the Public
Abstract:
While municipalities in the USA generally recognize the environmental,
economic and sociocultural benefits of spaces for the public, the degree
to which property deeds, planning documents and local laws specify
allowable uses or future sale differs widely. This article documents how
three municipalities manage parcels used by the public. Unlike other
governmental assets that are carefully itemized and tracked, land is
generally not subject to rigorous accounting; and yet, it may be the most
valuable resource owned. Geographic information systems, allowing for the
mapping of parcels, has led to more widespread documentation of spatial
information and tax records, but this is often the extent of data capture.
This article argues that land resources should be documented, subject to
community-based deliberative dialogues and managed in accordance with
legal documents that specify uses and management practices resulting from
such dialogues.

Title: Managing Competition for Marine Space Using the Tools of Planning in the UK
Abstract:
This article engages with the new and complex problem of managing the
competition for marine space and the institutional work of establishing a
set of governance structures to converge with existing terrestrial and
marine multi-level institutions with their overlapping spatial and
sector-based priorities. The structures being put in place are designed to
anticipate potential conflicts amongst marine users whilst ensuring that
the assets owned in common can be sustained for future generations. The
article draws on the substantial body of work on the efficacy of
terrestrial planning and governance tools and the international literature
on marine management, and provides both new empirical material from
interviews with key actors and textual analysis of the concepts in use as
the governments in the UK interpret the EU's Marine Strategy Framework
Directive to balance the conservation and sustainable use of marine
resources. Specifically, this article reviews the progress towards the
spatial management of marine resources and finds that there has been
considerable collaboration to share data sets and to scope the possible
conflicts in marine planning zones but that, in most cases, the difficult
work of sharing understanding of these conflicts and partnership working
to find resolutions has yet to start.

Title: Planning for an Ageing Society: Voices from the Planning Profession
Abstract:
The population of the United Kingdom is ageing inexorably, a trend which
requires policy-makers, including spatial planners, to be creative and
innovative in meeting the needs of older people. The significance of place
in the lives of older people has been demonstrated by many researchers
(see for example Peace et al., 2006; Gilroy, 2008) and underlines that
spatial planners must be age aware. This paper uses qualitative research
with planning practitioners to explore the extent of their age awareness
and the means by which the opportunities and challenges of an ageing
population are factored into their work. This is examined in the context
of the wide-ranging multidisciplinary literature on the spatial experience
of older people, and concludes that a clearer articulation of the elements
of older people's relationships with place would assist planners in
unpicking this complex subject and building locally appropriate
age-integrated solutions for our ageing population which reach beyond
predominantly physical dimensions of the environment.

Title: Web 2.0 and Social Media Growth in Planning Practice: A Longitudinal Study
Abstract:
This paper looks at the growth of web-based communication for planning
practice in local government over a three-year period. Despite
communication with the community being an integral part of local
government functions, the types of communication being used are rarely
monitored or analysed. This paper provides a longitudinal comparison of
the types of web-based communication, including social media and
smartphone applications being employed by local government in New South
Wales, Australia, and investigates the activity and sentiment of Twitter
accounts for a sample of local government agencies. The paper concludes
with a discussion of the growth of social media.

Title: Assessing the Effectiveness of Public Participation in Neighbourhood Planning
Abstract:
Public participation is important to local planning outcomes but is seldom
systematically evaluated using effectiveness criteria. This study
evaluates the effectiveness of public participation using the
Sherwood-Graceville Neighbourhood Plan in Brisbane as a case study.
Effective participation criteria, both process and outcome, were
identified from the planning literature and operationalized in a survey of
participants. Results indicate that outcome criteria were most important
to participants; the participation process was ineffective and ultimately
failed to influence local planning decisions. We discuss the implications
of participation effectiveness in a planning context where regional plans
potentially conflict with local community aspirations.

Title: Policy Change Through Policy Design: Florida Concurrency, 1985-2010
Abstract:
This study analyzed policy change through policy design across three
phases of Florida concurrency policy. Six policy design elements were
used: problem, goal, intervention strategy, planning tool, implementation
tool and implementation process. Policy change links by specific elements
were delineated from one phase to the next. They demonstrated changes in
legislation, regulation and enforcement. Across the phases, policy
problems, goals and intervention strategies appeared compatible with
planning tools. The main design deficiency was the linkage between
flexible implementation tools and bottom-up implementation processes. This
decentralized state-local implementation process, reinforced by fiscal
hardships and economic conditions, resulted in multiple compliance
variations in communities. Statewide policy direction was lost and led to
policy breakdown in 2011.

Title: Urban Festivals and Local Social Space
Abstract:
Contemporary spectacles are often criticized for tightly scripting public
life, proscribing spaces and their meanings, and instrumentalizing the
public realm for political, cultural or economic gain. Participant
observation of visitor behavior at festivals in Glasgow, Scotland, and
Gwangju, South Korea and analysis of the festivals' spatial organization
reveal how such events can also facilitate social interaction at the local
scale. Four kinds of spatial conditions-enclosure, centrality, axial
connection and permeability-are shown to shape informal social encounters
among attendees, and stimulate performances of local identity and
engagement with the meanings of place.

Title: Urban Policy and Spatial Planning in a Globalized City-A Stakeholder View of Santiago de Chile
Abstract:
Taking Santiago de Chile as an example, this practice review explores
urban policy-making and spatial planning in a globalized city. Based on an
empirical study, it presents insights into the experiences, observations
and recommendations of urban development stakeholders from the public,
private and civil society sectors. First of all, the article highlights
the main characteristics of public policies and spatial planning in
Santiago as well as their relevance in the process of urban development.
Second, it examines the sociopolitical conditions that either facilitate
or hamper policy and planning efforts. The contribution concludes that if
the task of improving urban policy and planning is to be taken seriously,
it must go hand in hand with addressing overall problems of urban
governance.

Title: Toying with the City? Using the Computer Game SimCity™4 in Planning Education
Abstract:
This paper discusses the impact of using the computer game SimCity™4
in student assignments to develop city and strategic plans. It is
conceptualized around Lobo's (2005) critique of SimCity™ as 'toying
with the city'. Two University of Queensland urban planning classes (one
undergraduate, the other postgraduate) were asked to use SimCity™4
to build simulated cities. One class was about building historical urban
utopias; the other was about strategic metropolitan planning. The paper
evaluates the effectiveness of this use of SimCity™4 to develop
students' plan-making skills, and reports on students' assessment of
whether and how the game's assumptions forced modifications away from
preferred planning outcomes. The paper concludes that, whilst
SimCity™4 is indeed based on 'toying with the city', city planning
practice is increasingly using computer-based simulations (some based on
GIS) to toy with future city scenarios to play with and understand the
likely outcomes of planning policies. The convergence of the two ideas
gives strength to the idea of using computer games like SimCity™4 in
planning education.

Title: When Uncertainty is Interpreted as Risk: An Analysis of Tensions Relating to Spatial Planning Reform in England
Abstract:
The UK Labour government's planning reform (2001-2010) intended to create
a more proactive, creative and flexible planning culture. However, as the
reforms progressed, public-sector planners increasingly lacked confidence.
This article explores texts and contemporaneous interview material through
an analysis of uncertainty and risk to present the tensions within the
reform narratives, the continually changing context and the provision of
contradictory advice from multiple outlets. We demonstrate how the
proactive flexible planning message came to be read through a message of
performance targets and consider how the various factors coalesced to
produce an uncertain practice environment which many public-sector
planners interpreted as 'risky'.

Title: Planners' Technical Expertise: Changing Paradigms and Practices in the Italian Experience
Abstract:
Planners' technical expertise has evolved from architectural-engineering
bases to include socio-economic and environmental issues, as well as
communication methods and participatory procedures. This progress
challenges professional practices and educational programmes, and produces
a looser image of the planner, in contrast with that of engineers and
architects. After an analysis of how technical paradigms have evolved in
the planning discipline in Italy, the paper focuses on the emerging types
of expertise that are expected to form the planner's 'toolbox'. This
requires linking the discipline's progress with that of the professional
practice, as well as connecting the legal framework with the educational
system. The paper concludes by analysing the different kinds of technical
expertise, taking into consideration the diverse roles played by planners.

Title: How to Turn a Planning Conflict into a Planning Success? Conditions for Constructive Conflict Management in the Case of Ruggeveld-Boterlaar-Silsburg in Antwerp, Belgium
Abstract:
Spatial projects are often contested. In most cases, contested planning
projects evolve into what some conflict scholars have labeled as
destructive or intractable conflicts. However, collaborative planning
theorists claim that under certain conditions, conflicts can result into
constructive outcomes. The Ruggeveld-Boterlaar-Silsburg case in Antwerp,
Flanders, might be considered as a conflict with a constructive outcome.
We reflect upon the conditions for constructive conflict management and
argue that public authority, citizens and experts have to leave their
traditional roles. This implies openness to collaborative approaches from
the public authority, governance capacity from citizens and finally a
collaborative approach toward design.

Title: Challenges of Cross-Border Spatial Planning in the Metropolitan Regions of Luxembourg and Lille
Abstract:
The regional policy of the EU aims at harmonization and cohesion in the
development of European regions. To achieve this objective, the outlying
border territories are engaged in a process of territorial integration. In
this context, the issue of spatial planning on both sides of the borders
is one of the main challenges for the border regions. The aims of the
paper, which focuses on two cross-border metropolitan areas (Luxembourg
and Lille), are to study the notion of cross-border spatial planning
(CBSP) and then examine its implementation. Within this
perspective, a model will be put forward in order to analyse the
CBSP. The results of the study show the multiplicity of
difficulties encountered by planning actors when realizing cross-border
development projects. To overcome these obstacles, adjustments are
required.

Title: How to Make Development Plans Suitable for Volatile Contexts
Abstract:
Development plans are central tools in spatial planning practice. They
create a vision of how places should develop and prescribe how desired
patterns of development will be realized. However, development plans are
increasingly regarded as inflexible and even rigid when confronted by
changes in their context. Conceptualizing urban districts in terms of
complex adaptive systems (CAS), this paper identifies ways in which more
flexible development plans can be designed. This is investigated through a
case study of a development plan for Blauwestad in the Netherlands, which
enabled sources of rigidity to be analysed. The paper concludes with the
view that from a CAS perspective, development plans are part of the
structures necessary to facilitate self-organization, and if designed with
certain principles in mind, can play a key role in assisting the
endogenous evolution of spatial developments.

Title: Growing Food in the Suburbs: Estimating the Land Potential for Sub-urban Agriculture in Waterloo, Ontario
Abstract:
This study uses Geographic Information System analysis to measure the land
potential for urban agriculture in four sub-urban neighbourhoods in
Waterloo, Ontario. Findings show that 49-58% of land measured has
potential to support urban agriculture. In older post-war sub-urban
neighbourhoods, the land potential is primarily in the form of private
yards. Contrary, newer sub-urban neighbourhoods, incorporating new
urbanist ideals, have smaller yards but more public green space.
Challenges and opportunities for urban agriculture will differ between new
and older sub-urban areas due to differences in neighbourhood design. The
findings have implications for planning practice in terms of linkages
between neighbourhood design and urban agriculture potential. Promotion of
urban agriculture could be beneficial in post-war sub-urban
neighbourhoods, which experienced decline in several North American
cities. Conceptually, consideration of sub-urban agriculture opens up the
possibility of exploring a novel dimension of the now internally diverse
sub-urban landscape and the changing functions of suburbs within
metropolitan areas.

Title: Understanding the Planning and Practice of Redeveloping Disused Docklands Using Critical Urban Assemblage as a Lens: A Case Study of Port Adelaide, Australia
Abstract:
The Port Adelaide inner harbour, like other waterfront developments
nationally and internationally, reflects the bringing together of a range
of elements-ideas, policies, people, capital and strategies-in
reconfiguring the built form. This preliminary study investigates the
utility of applying a concept of critical urban assemblage to understand
the planning, processes and delivery of this Australian waterfront
redevelopment. The aim is to go beyond situating the redevelopment as a
'model' of success or failure, or the sole result of a neo-liberalized
urban regeneration paradigm.

Title: Stuck in the Process, Facilitating Nothing? Justice, Capabilities and Planning for Value-Led Outcomes
Abstract:
The role of a planner as collaborative facilitator has come under renewed
criticism, from both planning theory and planning practice. This paper
explores how placing values of equity and justice at the centre of
planning practice offers practitioners a valuable voice in the debate over
urban outcomes. It draws on Nussbaum's capabilities approach to provide a
situationally flexible, yet universally grounded, version of the planning
profession to judging better or worse outcomes. Case study research from
an area-based regeneration initiative in England is used to illustrate how
changing planners' views of their aims could provide more socially just
outcomes.

Title: Determining What is Important in Terms of the Quality of an Urban Green Network: A Study of Urban Planning in England and Scotland
Abstract:
There is a lack of a clear understanding as to what is meant by a
good-quality green network within urban planning research and practice.
The aim of this paper is to examine whether it is possible to arrive at a
set of core principles which can be used to identify what a good-quality
green network means. Content analysis is used to assess the views of
practitioners at workshops and to assess the planning policy indicators
being applied in two study areas. By using this method, six network
quality principles are derived: proximity, biodiversity, linkage, cooling,
flood risk and quantity. The analysis of the indicators, based on the six
network quality principles, suggests that the link between planning
policies and the delivery of a good-quality green network is unclear in
the areas studied.

Title: Current Constraints and Future Directions for Risk Adapted Land-Use Planning Practices in the High-Density Asian Setting of Ho Chi Minh City
Abstract:
The need to integrate adaptation efforts into land-use planning policies
has been only recently recognized in Ho Chi Minh City. The city's latest
planning guidance addresses both flooding resilience and mitigation of
urban heat. This paper outlines the development contexts and the current
barriers for adapted land-use planning within the city. The key challenge
for land-use planning is communicating the important functions and
services of open and natural urban spaces and effectively guiding the
mainly individual developer-driven development. As the realization of
non-structural adaptation measures is in strong contrast to the current
market-driven private and short-term developer interests, the main
development trajectories are questioned and synergies identified.

Title: From Territory to Smartphone: Smart Fruition of Cultural Heritage for Dynamic Tourism Development
Abstract:
Augmented reality is a new technology that merges the virtual and the real
worlds and offers important support in all planning processes. Using
mobile devices, planning information can be implemented with smart and
participative solutions for a dynamic fruition of cultural heritage
[Brondi, R., Carrozzino, M., Tecchia, F., & Bergamasco, M. (2012) Mobile
augmented reality for cultural dissemination, in: P. Nesi & R. Santucci
(Eds), ECLAP 2012 Conference on Information Technologies for Performing
Arts, Media and Entertainment, pp. 113-118 (Firenze: Firenze University
Press); Hatzelhoffer, L., et al. (2012) Smart City in Practice: Innovation
Lab Between Vision and Reality (Jovis). Technologies are important tools
because they make a city smart by making concrete contributions to trigger
dynamic processes of place-based development. Three important factors
improve urban planning fruition: participation in the early stages of
listening and co-design; enlightened governance and new technology. This
paper (1) presents the actual possibilities and challenges of augmented
reality in the field of cultural heritage, (2) describes a simulation of
one case study in a neighbourhood in Cagliari (Italy), by proposing
customized paths with the aim of promoting cultural tourism and (3)
explains the benefits of using augmented reality in touristic and
place-based processes based on the case study.

Title: The Potential of Integrated Urban Deposit Modelling as a Cultural Heritage Planning Tool
Abstract:
Researchers investigating human settlements from an archaeological
perspective have long recognized that the urban landscape provides a
particular set of challenges and demands. Building on the formative Arup
study [Ove Arup and Partners (1991) York Development and
Archaeology Study (London: English Heritage)], urban deposit
modelling as a heritage planning tool has been developed for some time;
however, its use has not become widespread. There are however recent
intellectual and technical developments that enhance integrated deposit
modelling and reveal potential as a curatorial tool for the management of
the historic environment. These relate to three key developments: the
improvement and enhancement of 3D modelling and visualization techniques,
conceptual changes around categories such as 'made ground' and the
formation of research agendas for the urban historic environment. This
paper will explore an example of the difficulties inherent in combining
differently scaled datasets whilst also outlining the potential and the
significance of urban deposit modelling in, often deeply stratified,
historic northern European cities.

Title: Citizens' Anti-highway Revolt in Post-Pinochet Chile: Catalyzing Innovation in Transport Planning
Abstract:
During the last third of the 20th century, citizens throughout North
America and Europe organized protests against urban highway projects,
influencing urban transport planning in ways that shape its evolution to
this day. With the globalization of car-centred urban planning models,
some similar movements have emerged in developing countries. What, if
anything, can they tell us about citizens' role in innovation to achieve
more socially just, good and livable cities? Using a multidisciplinary
approach grounded in planning theory and a local adaptation of
participatory action research methods, this study explores lessons from an
anti-highway movement in Santiago, Chile (1997). This study contributes
citizens' perspective on crucial issues within the philosophy and history
of city planning, examining shifts in governance that can significantly
influence the potential for change in planning and city systems, even
under adverse conditions. Is improving participation just a matter of
'getting the process right'? This experience indicates that it requires
re-formulating frameworks to encompass democratization, fostering
multi-scalar, self-generating civil society organizations, and focusing on
the role of organized citizens, rather than individuals, as they act on
policy ecologies. The evidence from this Santiago case supports
Portugali's argument that planning is both a profession, exercised by
especially trained 'experts', and a skill exercised by citizens working
from their everyday expertise. This example explores the mechanisms
through which, even in a relatively hostile environment, self-generated
citizen organizations may play a significant role in contesting
business-as-usual debates and achieving innovative policies favouring
greater equality and sustainability.

Title: With or Without You?-super-1 Strategic Spatial Planning and Territorial Re-Scaling in Grenoble Urban Region
Abstract:
Spatial planning across European city regions is undergoing substantial
changes. The paper draws on the framework of territorial re-scaling,
strategic spatial planning and the emergence of new governance modes in
order to analyse strategic planning episodes in Grenoble urban region
(France). The paper aims at showing how strategic planning processes by
means of new governance arenas call into question local planning cultures,
especially by reshaping planning perimeters, territorial identities and
actors' roles. In particular, it shows the importance of path dependency
for strategic planning, the effects of power imbalances between local
actors and the crucial role planners play in spatial policy-making.

Title: Scale, Governance, Urban Form and Landscape: Exploring the Scope for an Integrated Approach to Metropolitan Spatial Planning
Abstract:
Based on the example of Metropolitan Cork, this paper looks at strands of
planning thinking as they apply to the city-region: economic and political
arguments about the scale of a city; landscape arguments about identity
and place; spatial arguments about urban form and environmentally grounded
arguments about nature, ecology and the city. Bringing together the
different theoretical contexts and disciplinary frameworks of these
interrelated approaches and relating them both to the often contradictory
principles of sustainable development and to the challenge of achieving
appropriate systems of governance at this scale, it explores an initial
argument for how holistic and mutually reinforcing approaches to the
spatial resilience of a city region might re-emerge.

Title: Breaking Carbon Lock-In: Path Dependencies in Large-Scale Transportation Infrastructure Projects
Abstract:
The central focus of this paper is to highlight the ways in which path
dependencies and increasing returns (network effects) serve to reinforce
carbon lock-in in large-scale road transportation infrastructure projects.
Breaking carbon lock-in requires drastic changes in the way we plan future
transportation infrastructure projects, and documentary evidence presented
here from the metropolitan regions of Copenhagen, Denmark and Portland,
USA, indicate that there may be a discontinuity in the system of
automobility (Urry, 2004), thereby increasing the likelihood that such
drastic measures may in fact be successfully realized.

Title: Queensland's Coastal Planning Regime: The Extent of Participation in Coastal Governance
Abstract:
This paper focuses on scope of public participation and stakeholder
engagement in the coastal planning process in Queensland, Australia. The
aim is to understand how conflicts among different resource users and
associated political issues influence decisions surrounding coastal zone
planning. Effectiveness of participation is assessed against relevant
Integrated Coastal Zone Management governance criteria, using document
analysis and semi-structured interviews of key stakeholders. Queensland's
coastal planning framework has used participation approaches just to meet
the legal requirement or circumvent stakeholders' dissent, rather than to
foster a legitimate, transparent and active participation process for
bringing the stakeholders into an authentic dialogue over complex coastal
issues.

Title: Private Sector-led Urban Development Projects: Comparative Insights from Planning Practices in the Netherlands and the UK
Abstract:
Dutch planning practice in recent decades witnesses the emergence of
private sector-led urban development projects. Such projects are 'led' by
property developers and 'facilitated' by local planning authorities aimed
to realize both planning and market objectives. However, remarkably little
academic attention has been paid to how public and private actors
decisively organize and manage these projects in practice. This paper
explores the roles planners and developers perform by generating empirical
lessons from Dutch and UK planning practices. The findings are of
importance to planners and planning theory, as the current social-economic
circumstances require them to redefine their roles in urban development.

Title: Decline and Renewal of Disadvantaged Neighbourhoods: Old Insights, New Evidence and Policy Implications
Abstract:
This article employs two tranches of qualitative research conducted in
1997-1998 and 2007-2009 on five low income social housing estates in three
Irish cities to explore the trajectories they followed in terms of their
ability to attract and retain residents. Four factors are identified as
particularly significant in this regard: social order and disorder,
community cohesion, neighbourhood life cycle and institutional strategies
and capacities. Whereas the quality of the built environment and
disadvantage had no clear primary impact on demand, the conclusions
identify the implications of the analysis for the literature on
neighbourhood change and for planning, housing and neighbourhood
regeneration policy in Ireland and internationally.

Title: Continuity and Change in Urban Transport Policy: Politics, Institutions and Actors in Melbourne and Vancouver since 1970
Abstract:
Melbourne and Vancouver share many similarities, but there are significant
differences in the content and outcomes of transport and urban planning
policies since 1970. Melbourne has built a large urban freeway network and
is struggling to create a coherent transit network from its large but
fragmented transit system. Vancouver has achieved some enviable successes
in urban planning, but is still facing significant car-dependence in its
outer suburbs. This paper provides a conceptual theoretical model that
asserts the centrality of local politics as the source of reasons for
particular urban transport policy trajectories. It describes the political
and institutional context for the development of transport policies and
the behaviour of key actors in the two cities, and identifies some of key
factors behind transport and planning outcomes.

Title: Where Is What Called Sustainability? A Survey of Policies Ostensibly and Explicitly Linked to Sustainability in the United States
Abstract:
This paper discusses the outcome of a survey of US planners working in
local governments with a population of over 25,000. The survey asked in
which of 72 action areas ostensibly linked to sustainability had their
government enacted policy, of these which did they explicitly link to
sustainability and if they associated implementation with political
conflict. We also considered the geographical variation of policies. We
wished to find out if policy-makers more frequently associate
sustainability with some policies over others. We hypothesized that
between regions there would be significant variation in the number of
policies pursued and in which were linked to sustainability, and that
political conflict may explain this geographical variation. However, our
findings were more limited: we found that planners are more likely to
explicitly link policies pertaining to environmental goals with
sustainability, and that there is geographical variation in what policies
local governments pursue, although in only a few cases we found variations
of statistical significance.

Title: The 'Panelization' of Planning Decision-Making in Australia
Abstract:
Over recent years, a significant change to decision-making structures has
occurred within several planning jurisdictions in Australia.
Administrative bodies generically described as 'planning panels' have, to
varying degrees, assumed the planning decision-making responsibilities of
traditional executive groups such as state government ministers and
departments, and elected representatives and managers within local
government. This phenomenon of the 'panelization' of planning
decision-making represents a significant change to planning practice and
arguably constitutes a fundamental paradigm shift in urban and regional
governance in that country. Planning panels adopted in four states - South
Australia, Western Australia, Victoria and New South Wales are examined in
this paper.

Title: How Is the Compact City Faring in Australia?
Abstract:
Australia has some of the lowest density cities in the world. However, in
recent years the more compact city has become the orthodoxy of state
capital city planning. Since 2000, long-range metropolitan strategies have
been produced, planning the compact city. But in every state, each has
been replaced by another one within a few years, frequently with different
provisions. The metropolitan planning process is seen as in transition
from the previous task emphasizing urban expansion to planning the compact
city. Progress is patchy and uncertain, which in part explains the
frequent replacement of plans. But this review suggests there are perhaps
more important underlying reasons which may eventually lead to a modified
style of metropolitan plan-making.

Title: TOD and Multi-modal Public Transport
Abstract:
This article considers the role of transit-oriented development (TOD) in
genuinely multi-modal public transport systems. In systems of this kind,
railway stations are major interchange points with street-based public
transport, which is frequently the dominant mode for station access. In
such cases, TOD takes advantage of the very high level of accessibility
provided by both the rail service and on-street feeder modes, in contrast
with walk-on systems, where TOD is seen mainly as a way of expanding the
number of walk-on patrons. Examples of both types of system are presented,
including details of modal split for station access, and the importance of
TOD in generating patronage is considered. The consequences for TOD
planning and design are discussed, including trade-offs between
park-and-ride patronage and TOD-generated patronage, and between
commercial and transport benefits from TOD.

Title: Ado(a)pting the Transit-Oriented Development Model in the Greek Urban and Transport Contexts
Abstract:
Greece is at a critical juncture in its history. Significant changes are
needed in its cities' development to ensure a sustainable economic, social
and environmental perspective. In this study, we investigated the
possibility of introducing the transit-oriented development (TOD)
principles to a typical suburban municipality of Athens. We aimed to
determine how the general planning guidelines, which have already been
applied in US and European contexts, could serve as a comprehensive land
use and transport plan. Significant adjustments to local conditions are
required to reverse the chronic pathologies of an urban landscape that
incorporates Western suburbanization trends and domestic planning
failures.

Title: TOD Versus TAD: The Great Debate Resolved...(?)
Abstract:
This paper discusses the distinction between transit-oriented development
(TOD) and so-called 'transit-adjacent development' (TAD)--a label
sometimes applied to less-successful TOD efforts. It is suggested that
transport performance is the key factor distinguishing between the two
outcomes--and that despite complexities, clearer quantitative benchmarks
are needed. Much of the literature and discussion on TOD centres around a
perceived failing of many TOD project attempts to deliver a 'genuine
transit-oriented outcome'. Often, this discussion has remained at a
thematic level, or has rested on subjective qualitative appraisal, or
critique of design or built-form outcomes. With a few exceptions,
researchers and experts have generally been reluctant to provide a clear
benchmark for TOD success or failure--perhaps because so many
well-intentioned TOD efforts fall short of initial expectations. This
paper puts forward a proposal that mode share should be the apex metric
for determining TOD project success or failure. It is suggested that a
majority (50%+) of travel movements need to be accommodated by the
sustainable modes (walking, cycling, and public transit) for a location to
assume the label of 'genuine TOD'. Equally, other locations that attempt
TOD, but do not deliver a sustainable travel majority, might be placed in
the 'TAD' category. Benchmark figures from international precincts and
locales are used to sustain this argument--with reference to the broader
planning, urban development, and design contexts in which these ideas sit.

Title: Policy Convergence, Divergence and Communities: The Case of Spatial Planning in Post-Devolution Britain and Ireland
Abstract:
The implementation of devolution (1999) in the UK was assumed to lead to
fractured relationships with the national centre and a fragmented state as
a consequence. However, discourse analysis and policy reviews in spatial
planning demonstrate that policies and legislation implemented by central
and devolved governments since devolution demonstrate marked similarities
in intention and type (albeit with some differences in name and delivery
route). Having demonstrated a lack of the expected policy divergence, we
explore the role of two civil service forums, the British-Irish Council's
spatial planning workstream and the 'Five Administrations' meetings of
Chief Planners as policy communities.

Title: Evaluating the Impacts of Urban Regeneration Companies in Portugal: The Case of Porto
Abstract:
Cities have undergone many changes since the 1950s, not least the
expansion of urban areas to the detriment of the historic central areas,
some of which have been left to decay. In Portugal the most visible
results of this phenomenon are found in the metropolitan areas of Lisbon
and Porto. To address this problem, the Portuguese Government conceived
the first legal instrument for urban regeneration in 2004 which allows the
local administrations to form publicly owned companies--urban regeneration
companies (SRUs) to actively endorse urban regeneration in historic city
centres. This paper discusses the activities of the Porto Vivo SRU, one of
these companies created in Porto, in the context of the Portuguese milieu
of urban regeneration and evaluates Porto Vivo's operation.

Title: Advancing Sustainability Visioning Practice in Planning--The General Plan Update in Phoenix, Arizona
Abstract:
Sustainability visioning--creating descriptions of sustainable and
desirable future states--has become a prominent tool in urban planning to
guide how cities are structured, how they function, and how they are
governed. In this article, we present the application of a sustainability
visioning approach (SPARC) in support of the City of Phoenix's General
Plan Update. The study strove to overcome deficits in current visioning
practices, including sufficiently accounting for systems relationships,
conflicting values, sustainability principles and stakeholder input;
combining public participation with capacity building; and linking
creative with analytical activities. We discuss and draw conclusions from
this study on how to improve professional and civic capacity for visioning
as well as how to bridge the gap between advanced planning practice and
research.

Title: Framing the Zone: Political Executives Engaging in a Narrative-Framing Contest During Strategic Decision-making
Abstract:
Storytelling is regarded as an important practice within planning
processes. Seminal contributions (Throgmorton, 1992, Journal of Planning
Education and Research, 12, pp. 17-31; Flyvbjerg, 1998, Rationality and
Power: Democracy in Practice, Chicago, IL: University of Chicago Press) as
well as recent research (Jensen, 2007, Planning Theory, 6, pp. 211-236;
van Hulst, 2012, Planning Theory, 11, pp. 299-318) demonstrate that there
are multiple competing stories about the meaning of any specific plan.
This paper contributes to this debate by considering stories as building
blocks for a collective action frame in the form of a mutual story.
Political executives engage in a framing contest in order to influence
such a mutual story. Our case study is based on interpretative analysis of
contrasting narratives ands shows how political executives negotiate the
meaning of a plan in such a way that the chances of its implementation
through funding are optimized.

Title: Carry on Shrinking?: The Bankruptcy of Urban Policy in Detroit
Abstract:
Much attention has recently been focused on the bankruptcy of the City of
Detroit in 2013 and the reasons for the largest municipal fiscal melt down
in US history. Contrary to a view gaining currency, which dismisses
Detroit as the product of exceptional forces and largely calls it the
architect of its own collapse, this article argues the case that Detroit
conveys more general lessons for European cities struggling with decline,
not least of which is the need for interventionist regional planning to
avoid predictable but avoidable urban distress. The article briefly
reviews the well-documented decline of the city of Detroit measured
against population, economic, fiscal and image impacts. It considers five
current misreadings of the reasons for Detroit's predicament and implicit
signposts for European practice before concluding with an assessment of
what has been hailed as the shoots of yet another possible renaissance in
the originally proclaimed Renaissance City over 40 years ago.

Title: A Methodology for Integrating Tsunami Inundation Modelling into Land Use Planning in New Zealand
Abstract:
Guidance has been produced for land use planners and decision-makers on
how tsunami inundation modelling can be included into land use planning.
The process of developing the guideline included exploring the
difficulties in integrating physical science models into land use planning
with a focus on tsunami. These difficulties included addressing
uncertainty and reconciling planners' needs with the capability of the
modellers. The guidance was based on two key questions. (1) How can
tsunami modelling be incorporated into land use planning? (2) What
information do planners need from modellers to improve planning and policy
for tsunami? The purpose of this paper is to provide a brief overview of
the guideline, with the aim of assisting others in producing similar
guidance for implementing tsunami modelling into land use planning. The
guideline includes tsunami basics, a decision tree for including tsunami
risk into land use planning, which forms the basis of the guideline.

Title: Reducing Bushfire Risk by Planning and Design: A Professional Focus
Abstract:
While links between planning and resilience are increasingly touted as
fundamental to managing urban settlements, there are limited practical
examples. This paper provides an example via regulatory processes, in
parallel with the exercise of professional discretion. Using analysis of
diverse urban planning proposals in bushfire prone areas of Victoria
Australia, a systematic and site-specific approach for bushfire risk
assessment is set out. A three-step process is proposed as a basis for
delivery of design solutions to manage bushfire risks. The paper concludes
by arguing that professional judgement is a fundamental part of bushfire
risk reduction within a regulatory framework.

Title: Large-Scale Urban Projects in Smaller Metro Areas: Towards a Broader Conceptual Perspective
Abstract:
Large-scale projects seem to be as popular in urban politics as they are
risky in implementation. Existing research shows a certain bias towards
studying projects in large metropolitan regions. The paper aims at
extending the scope of research on large-scale urban projects by analysing
such projects in a smaller metropolitan area. The case of the city region
and country of Luxembourg shows that decision-makers in small metropolitan
regions also make use of large-scale urban projects as a planning and
place-making instrument. The case is also used to explore methodological
approaches of examining the symbolic nature and discursive place-making
dimension of planning large-scale projects, and proposes a methodological
approach based on constructivist grounded theory and situational analysis
of discourses.

Title: Bridging the Gap? The Role of Regional Governance in Delivering Effective Local Public Services: Evidence from England
Abstract:
Between 2004 and 2010 local area agreements (LAAs) represented a key part
of the New Labour Government's agenda for local government in England,
which centred on increasing the level of involvement that local areas had
in the issues affecting them. To deliver this agenda, New Labour deployed
government offices for the regions (GOR) to negotiate with localities on
behalf of central government. As part of a broader consideration of the
role of regional governance structures in delivering local public
services, this paper draws upon the results of a national survey of LAA
practitioners in England, and findings from more detailed case study work,
to consider the role of GOR in the LAA process. These findings examine the
role GOR played in negotiating LAA targets and the extent to which these
negotiations allowed local areas to respond to local issues and
priorities. Then, by considering local enterprise partnerships and the
recently established combined authorities, the paper will consider how
localism policy under the Conservative-Liberal Democrat Coalition
government, who came to power in 2010, has responded to the lessons of the
LAA. In doing so, the paper seeks to fit into the wider discussion about
how local public services can be delivered effectively and draw out the
challenges faced by those trying to link local and central policy
together.

Title: Empty Signifiers of Transformation in Participatory Planning and the Marginalization of Black People in South Africa
Abstract:
There is no doubt that participation as a development paradigm for the
transformation of planning in South Africa took off in the early days of
democracy with a revolutionary zeal. The mood of transforming planning
practice from apartheid planning associated with top-down authoritarian
modernist systems towards bottom-up post-apartheid democratic systems was
marked by the emergence of a deluge of African metaphors such as indaba,
lekgotla, simunye, tswele pele, etc. These metaphors immediately entered
the scene of planning and policy documents, and this was seen largely as
signifying the increased participation of black people marking moments of
inclusion, transformation and empowerment. However, the legacy of
apartheid planning still pervades through the work that planners do and
its arresting impact remains unabated in South Africa. This paper explores
the emergence of these African metaphors in participatory planning and
their implications on the transformation of planning in South Africa. The
paper advances the argument that African metaphors of participation have
acted as empty signifiers of transformation for black people in the
integrated development planning process. While the metaphors are used to
construct politically sellable image for participatory processes,
participation has gained ideological traction to support Eurocentric and
globalist traditions of urban change. Participation reflects a new way of
thinking about order, peace and development, and the African metaphors are
not instrumental in changing the Eurocentric and global capitalist logic
presiding over the constitution of law, theory and the technical
instruments of planning.

Title: Shared Ownership and Affordable Housing: A Political Solution in Search of a Planning Justification?
Abstract:
Planners in England routinely include shared ownership (SO) housing in the
affordable housing element of new developments. Government policies in a
number of European countries have also backed intermediate housing market
mechanisms as a solution to housing affordability. The rhetoric of such
mechanisms makes claims about its social progressiveness, its role in
facilitating socio-economic mobility and helping people move from rented
accommodation into full owner-occupation. SO schemes in England have been
justified on the grounds of being transitional tenures and planners have
accepted SO on this basis. However, given the paucity of rigorous
empirical work, there is a concern that this is a policy based on
assumption rather than evidence. This paper delineates existing knowledge,
clarifies dimensions of the intermediate housing market and highlights
underlying policy issues based on a large data-set of shared owners in
England. Our analysis indicates that SO may not be appropriately
classified as affordable housing, and justifiable policy requires further
evidence.

Title: 'Fantasies of Consensus:' Planning Reform in Sydney, 2005-2013
Abstract:
This paper examines the battle to reform and streamline the
planning system in Sydney, Australia, between 2005 and 2013. It analyses
the strategies the State of NSW has pursued to manage ongoing conflicts
over development, and reflects on the challenges the State has encountered
in its attempt to redefine democratic engagement, justify decisions, claim
legitimacy and forge a consensus around a more pro-development planning
system. While New South Wales' planning reform strategies have pursued an
apparently 'post-political' agenda (Swyngedouw, Apocalypse forever?
Post-political populism and the spectre of climate change, Theory Culture
and Society, 27(2-3):213-232, 2010), using policy
solutions to depoliticize difficult decisions, the reform process has
exacerbated rather than defused conflicts. The story raises questions
about the extent to which the new governing strategies of a post-political
era can offer effective forums to forge consensus, or to stage-manage
agreement over metropolitan development conflicts.

Title: Children and Planning: To What Extent Does the Scottish Town Planning System Facilitate the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child?
Abstract:
Children are often not given explicit attention in land use planning
outside of allocating space for schools, parks and playgrounds. This is
problematic as children both use and navigate beyond these settings, and
findings from research on and with children report how they are frequently
marginalized in society. This is partly affected by the way town planning
systems treat children's spatial needs and participation. Therefore, this
article investigates whether and how the Scottish town planning system
acknowledges children, particularly in light of the internationally
recognized rights set out in the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child
(UNCRC). It uses critical discourse analysis of key Scottish planning
policies, along with a survey of Scotland's planning authorities to
ascertain the extent to which children are provided for and participate in
the system. It argues that children's rights are not widely acknowledged
or incorporated into town planning policy and practice, and suggests this
must be addressed to achieve greater social justice and support Scotland's
commitments as a signatory of the UNCRC.

Title: Urban Land Changes as the Interaction Between Self-Organization and Institutions
Abstract:
There is interest among planners in autonomous behaviour and non-linear
processes supporting urban development. Self-organization has attracted
attention as a potential driver for urban transformations. This paper aims
to explore the mechanisms behind urban land use patterns resulting from
the interdependence of self-organization and institutions. Our argument is
based on an empirical study of two land development cases in urban
Beijing. The paper argues that urban land transformations include
characteristics of symmetry breaks, self-organizing processes, unintended
collective behaviour and spontaneous patterns while simultaneously being
institutionally framed. The interdependence between self-organization and
institutional rules builds upon a circular causality framework at various
spatial levels.

Title: A Critical Reflection on the Experimental Method for Planning Research: Testing the Added Value of PSS in a Controlled Environment
Abstract:
For planning research to successfully generate usable mechanisms for
planning practitioners more hypothesis-testing research designs are
needed. Currently, the academic field seems more geared toward generating
hypotheses, either by observing practice or from theoretical studies. This
approach is especially common in research that generates knowledge of
planning. In this paper, I map several relevant research designs that
allow for such hypothesis testing and discuss their usability in planning
research. Then, I particularly focus on the experimental method as a
promising design for generating contextualized mechanisms for planning
practice. I describe and analyze a study that aimed to develop mechanisms
about the added value of knowledge technologies for the quality of
planning. Two consecutive experiments are described in detail, after which
the usability of the experimental method for planning research is
discussed. Reflecting on these experiments indicate that the main strength
of this research design is that it allows to create ideal circumstances
for falsification (which is virtually impossible in planning practices.
The main weakness is the ecological validity of findings, especially when
the research is executed with students.

Title: Planners' Perspectives on Obstacles to Sustainable Urban Development: Implications for Transformative Planning Strategies
Abstract:
A major problem confronting planning is the gap between transformative
proposals and enduring urban development trends. The paper interprets
interviews with 62 planners involved in a sustainable urban development
strategy in a large region focussed on Toronto, Canada. Surveyed planners
were asked about the obstacles they encounter when attempting to modify
prevailing urban development. Mentioned obstacles are consistent with
expectations arising from three major perspectives on inertia:
institutionalism, political economy and path dependence. Interviews also
highlight the role of planners' practical knowledge in identifying and
interpreting obstacles, and the existence of a consensus among respondents
over sustainable urban development.

Title: The Tradeoffs of Inclusionary Zoning: What Do We Know and What Do We Need to Know?
Abstract:
Inclusionary zoning (IZ), a controversial planning tool for supplying
affordable housing, grew significantly during the 2000s' housing boom in
the USA. We review the resultant scholarly literature on IZ. Our key
reading is that IZ can include both tradeoffs and practical efforts to
address them. There is also a need for additional research. More
specifically, we find that IZ programs (i) have many components and vary
considerably; (ii) can increase affordable housing production and social
integration, but there can be a tradeoff between these goals; and (iii)
can have slight adverse market effects, but cost-offsets can help mitigate
the outcomes. Finally, we discuss the need for more research, particularly
in-depth case studies and make suggestions.

Title: Using Social Media and Mobile Technologies to Foster Engagement and Self-Organization in Participatory Urban Planning and Neighbourhood Governance
Abstract:
This editorial explores the potential of social media and mobile
technologies to foster citizen engagement and participation in urban
planning. We argue that there is a lot of wishful thinking, but little
empirically validated knowledge in this emerging field of study. We
outline key developments and pay attention to larger societal and
political trends. The aim of this special issue is: 1) To offer a critical
state-of-the-art overview of empirical research; and 2) to explore whether
social media and mobile technologies have measurable effects on citizens'
engagement beyond traditional mobilization and participation tools. We
find that wider engagement only 'materializes' if virtual connections also
manifest themselves in real space through concrete actions, by using both
online and offline engagement tools. Another requirement is that planners
do not seek to marginalize dissenting voices in order to promote the
interests of powerful developers.

Title: Can Social Media Save a Neighborhood Organization?
Abstract:
Positive discourse around social media and civic engagement inspired a
neighborhood association with few members and resources to use these
services. They hoped to revive the neighborhood association and attract
new and younger members. They received five Facebook 'likes' and three
Twitter followers out of 550 households. Survey results revealed a
mismatch between perceptions of 'neighborly' and social media ties and
expectations for neighborhood communication. However, residents most
interested in the neighborhood association were those who chose social
media for neighborhood outreach, not those choosing email or postal mail.
Ultimately, using multiple communication methods is ideal, but targeting
residents via social media might be a starting point for planners and
resource poor organizations.

Title: Planning and Social Media: Facebook for Planning at the Neighbourhood Scale
Abstract:
While several scholars have discussed the role of neighbourhood groups and
local communities in neighbourhood planning processes, there is still a
lack of understanding regarding the capacity of online neighbourhood
forums in these processes. Focusing on three Facebook neighbourhood
groups, this study employs survey and content analysis methods to explore
the potential capacity of online neighbourhood forums in creating
self-organizing communities and facilitating local planning processes.
Although the members' interactions in online neighbourhood forums are
highly focused on local issues, the nature of such interactions varies
with different groups. Planners or liaisons should facilitate the members'
interactions inside and outside of the group to ensure inclusive and sound
planning outcomes.

Title: When Self-Organization Intersects with Urban Planning: Two Cases from Helsinki
Abstract:
Participation as self-organization has emerged as a new form of citizen
activism, often supported by digital technology. A comparative qualitative
analysis of two case studies in Helsinki indicates that the
self-organization of citizens expands the practice of urban planning.
Together, they enable the mobilization of different groups around issues
related to urban space. The consequences have become visible in temporary
uses of places, event making and community development through bottom-up
cultures. However, the lacking links to decision-making constrains new
solutions and creative actions.

Title: Participatory Apps for Urban Planning--Space for Improvement
Abstract:
Participatory urban planning is considered an important aspect of
developing local democracy. Recently, the use of mobile technologies to
engage with citizens has gained interest among researchers, policy-makers,
and activists. The purpose of this article is to introduce a typology that
identifies types of mobile applications (apps) supporting citizen
participation in urban planning. The presented typology is developed based
on theories of participation and has three dimensions: type of data
collected, information flow, and empowerment of citizens. Overall, the
typology identifies eight types of participatory apps. Participatory apps
in use around the world are then plotted into the typology and their
contribution is analyzed with reference to the dimensions of the typology.
Apps evolve from sharing information on the surrounding environment
towards a dialogue aimed to accommodate citizen knowledge into the
planning process. The article concludes that the impact of planning apps
has yet been modest, but is expected to increase, and discusses ways in
which planning apps can leverage citizens' knowledge in the future.

Title: MapLocal: Use of Smartphones for Crowdsourced Planning
Abstract:
This paper discusses the development of a smartphone app,
MapLocal, which seeks to empower residents to gather spatial data about
their neighbourhood. Responding to the new Neighbourhood Planning powers
offered within the Localism Act, 2011, a pilot scheme was undertaken with
50 participants across two neighbourhoods in Birmingham, UK. The app
allows the crowdsourcing of knowledge from individuals to report
on different characteristics of their neighbourhood and to
undertake visioning exercises developing possible schemes
to improve it. We argue that the app enables wider engagement with the
early phases of a planning process, partially mitigating the
post-political challenge to planning, which seeks to marginalize
dissenting voices in order to promote the interests of the
powerful.

Title: Civic Engagement through DIY Urbanism and Collective Networked Action
Abstract:
In this paper, we examine do-it-yourself (DIY) urbanism through
place-based and technology initiatives that support collective networked
action to foster civic engagement in neighborhood contexts. The goal is to
engage informal and ad-hoc networks of individual and collective actors in
productively addressing critical conditions within their urban localities.
Based on participatory research and co-design with residents and urban
activist groups, Delai Sam and Partizaning, in districts of Moscow,
Russia, we devised a series of interventions using a network of mailboxes,
prototype online collaboration platforms (SynchroniCITY and MicroAct) and
community-based workshops to engage participants in revealing issues,
designing solutions and coordinating urban actions. Through these
experiences, we consider the challenges of DIY urbanism as an inclusive,
sustained and meaningful form of cooperative engagement and urban
activism.

Title: Towards the Establishment of a Green Infrastructure in the Region of Montreal (Quebec, Canada)
Abstract:
Through the analysis of semi-structured interviews held with key actors
involved in the planning of the Greater Montreal region, we seek to
understand the conditions that could lead to the establishment of a green
infrastructure for the city. This article first describes the region's
environmental and political context and then analyzes the opportunities,
constraints, advantages and disadvantages in the implementation of this
type of project. We conclude that experts favor an approach leading to
ecological connectivity, but they underline several obstacles that could
hinder its implementation.

Title: The Inherent Politics of Managing the Quality of Urban Green Spaces
Abstract:
Although the term 'quality' has a universal positive connotation and
typically is framed by a focus on improvements, its application includes
as well as excludes the access, values and world views of particular
actors and interests. In this article, we highlight the relevance and
implications of such 'inherent politics' through a case study of a
widespread approach to operationalizing quality in urban green space
management. We conclude that adoption of any quality model has both
limiting and enabling implications for public participation and
decision-making and that a critical stance is needed within both research
and practice for the development of quality models that connect to values
of broader societal relevance.

Title: Factors Affecting Planned Unit Development Implementation
Abstract:
Planned unit developments (PUD) have been celebrated as one of the few
means of escape from the stranglehold of Euclidean zoning but little is
known empirically about their use and implementation. In this paper, I
present quantitative data from Michigan exploring the factors affecting
successful PUD implementation. Results indicate that citizen
participation, emphasis of PUD regulations, PUD appeal and differences
among key players during PUD review have significant impacts on successful
PUD implementation. I also find that Michigan municipalities are more
successful at achieving mixed-use, density, preservation, affordable
housing, community facilities and design through PUDs than through other
regulatory vehicles.

Title: Actor-Relational Planning in Deprived Areas: Challenges and Opportunities in Luchtbal Antwerpen, Belgium
Abstract:
In this article, we report and discuss our experience with
actor-relational approaches (ARA) in the regeneration of a postwar housing
estate in Luchtbal, Antwerp, Belgium. ARA are informed by
post-structuralist ideas of space, complexity theory, and actor network
theory. Although ARA itself is not new, the application of ARA to deprived
area's such as Luchtbal is novel. We report how the approach has been
elaborated, its process and outcome. We conclude with our evaluation from
an insider's perspective.

Title: Analysing Space-Time Accessibility Towards the Implementation of the Light Rail System: The Case Study of Brescia
Abstract:
This paper proposes a methodology for investigation of the space-time
relations of accessibility to public services and collective mobility. The
paper assesses the space-time efficiency of local public transport
facilities and makes an accessibility analysis as a baseline for
evaluating future changes. It explains the potential for improvement and
the effects on planning paradigms. Public transport accessibility greatly
changes during day and night time so they should be assessed through
multi-scaled and diachronic maps as a contribution to the timetable plan
and overall planning strategies. The case study of Brescia, Italy is used
to test the methodology. The new light rail system of Brescia entered into
operation in 2013 and could change the entire form of urban mobility.

Title: Information is Power: Public Disclosure of Information in the Planning Decision-Making Process
Abstract:
The legitimacy and effectiveness of community engagement in planning lies
in the extent to which the public can access the information required for
informed decision-making. The control of 'commercially sensitive material'
by local authorities acting as gatekeepers is a therefore a challenging
area of information management within the planning application process.
Through the analysis of key cases in England, this paper identifies that
regulations do provide for 'commercially sensitive material' to be
released to communities in many cases, but there is a need to achieve
better transparency for communities about what information should be
available about a development proposal.

Title: e-Participation: Comparing Trends in Practice and the Classroom
Abstract:
This article reports an assessment of the growing use of Internet-based
public participation methods, e-participation, in planning practice and
university-level planning education in the USA. After documenting results
from case study reviews of practice and a web-based survey of planning
faculty, a comparative analysis reveals that academic programs are
incorporating a range of e-participation tools; however, there is a need
to increase curricula content to mirror trends in planning practice. The
article concludes with recommendations on how to build on the strengths
and to address the weaknesses observed in this study to better prepare
students for the demands of planning practice.

Title: Fear and Urban Planning in Ordinary Cities: From Theory to Practice
Abstract:
The paper complements Abu-Orf's theory about violent settings by setting
out a theory of fear in urban planning in ordinary urban contexts around
three arguments: spatialization of fear; (modernist) spatialities and the
encounter and political economies of urban fear. The three theoretical
arguments are used to re-frame the planning history of Chelas, an
affordable housing district in Lisbon, Portugal, and debate the way fear
shapes, and is shaped in turn by, planning practice. Confirming that
(growing) fear in ordinary urban contexts is not just an effect of the
contemporary organization of cities, the paper argues for a theorization
of fear that combines global (hegemonic) and a local
(discursive/contingent) perspectives in the theorization of urban fear,
and advocates for the need to put fear, and its capacity to create a
crisis in urban policy, at the heart of planners' agendas.

Title: Exploring Policy-Maker Perceptions of Small City Downtowns in the USA
Abstract:
Using original survey data from a national sample of small cities in the
USA, this paper explores the perceptions of policy-makers as to what
matters for the viability of their downtowns. How do policy-makers of
small cities perceive the viability of their downtowns? What policies and
programs are associated with perceptions of viability? The results show
policy-makers across the USA believe their downtown districts have
strengths and weaknesses. Perceived strengths include safety from crime,
access to government services, pedestrian safety, cultural opportunities,
availability of restaurants and tolerance of diversity. Perceived
weaknesses include a lack of available grocery stores, hotels, housing and
economic competitiveness with areas outside of downtown. These perceptions
indicate policy-makers are concerned about their downtown's ability to
compete in the marketplace and that they feel more positively about issues
perceived to be within their locus of control. A controlled multivariate
model suggests the presence of mixed-use zoning, a Main Street program,
the ability for downtown to compete with businesses outside of the
downtown, higher levels of cooperation among key stakeholders and quality
of life ratings are all significantly related to whether policy-makers
perceive their downtowns to be viable. These findings are important
because they examine competing and complementary explanations of downtown
development and viability for small cities for the first time. They also
point to the need to address the continual tensions between downtown and
suburban development with innovative policy solutions especially for small
cities.

Title: Planning Your Way to Job Growth
Abstract:
This paper examines the impact of comprehensive community planning on job
growth in a US setting. Comprehensive planning is carried out in many
communities, usually at the city or county level. Analyzing county-level
data from the state of Georgia collected using a survey of planning
professionals, we find that several aspects of planning and the subsequent
implementation of the plan can have large impacts on job growth. We find
that zoning standards increase job growth, but that it makes little
difference how strict those zoning standards are. The largest increases in
job growth can be captured simply by consistently following the adopted
plan. This is likely due to the signal sent by following the plan that the
local government can be trusted to keep other promises made in the process
of attracting new businesses. Finally, the most innovative comprehensive
plans were associated with lower job growth, at least within our 5-year
post-plan study period, perhaps because already struggling communities
pass innovative plans in hopes of correcting their shortcomings. The
lesson our research holds for planners is that following the plan is
likely more important for its success related to economic development than
the particular features in the plan.

Title: The Use of Surveillance Technologies in Planning Enforcement
Abstract:
This article explores the use of surveillance technologies in planning
enforcement. Using literature from surveillance studies, it explores the
use of well-established and more recent 'surveillance technologies',
including aerial photography, closed-circuit television and the Street
View function in Google Maps. The article identifies the varying use of
these technologies in planning enforcement and explains the reasons for
this using concepts derived from surveillance studies.

Title: New Spatial Concepts Between Innovation and Lock-in: The Case of the Dutch Deltametropolis
Abstract:
It is often proclaimed that planning
concepts serve an innovative function in the political process. They are
praised as powerful tools that carry new insights and understandings into
policy arenas. By examining the emergence and development of a new
planning concept in the Dutch national spatial policy-making process, the
deltametropolis concept, this paper questions this position. It argues
that new spatial concepts tend to lose much of their innovative capacities
when they enter the political arena and become encased in the traditional
urban-rural planning discourse, thus reaffirming established planning
orientations. The Dutch case of the deltametropolis illustrates that new
spatial concepts may entail potential for innovation as much as for
lock-in.

Title: Unequal Regionalism: Regional Planning in China and England
Abstract:
This paper responds to the revival of regionalism in the past two decades
by showing that such a re-emergence is unequal. Comparing the practice of
regional planning in China and England, this paper has demonstrated that
the party-state in China and the liberal-democratic state in England have
responded differently to this revival and developed different framework
for regional administration and planning. These variations have not only
elaborated planners' concern about planning practice in a 'context of
difference' from social dimension to geographical variations, but also
echoed geographers' affirmation that global trends take on different
characters in local setting.

Title: Educational Landscapes and Urban Development. Contextual and Spatial Interfaces and Linkages
Abstract:
In the broad sociopolitical discussion on education quality within the
last decade, it has become apparent that education is gaining importance
for urban development, as well as space and the urban context are
important dimensions of education. This becomes particularly evident in
concepts for local educational landscapes (Ger. Bildungslandschaften). The
young field of research on educational landscapes is currently lacking
empirical research from spatial and planning sciences. In the paper, the
current state of scientific research on educational landscapes in Germany
and Europe and first insights to contextual and spatial interfaces and
linkages between education and urban development in general are presented.

Title: Exploring Substantive Interfaces between Spatial Planning and Ecological Networks in Germany
Abstract: There is broad consensus among European policy-makers that ecological networks are indispensable for safeguarding Europe's biodiversity and that spatial planning plays a vital role in establishing them. Ecological networks can be incorporated into spatial planning through substantive or procedural integration. This article explores the substantive interfaces between spatial planning and ecological networks in Germany—a country that is rooted in a tradition of comprehensive integrated spatial planning and has a highly codified and formalized planning system. Furthermore, the contribution discusses barriers to the integration of spatial planning and ecological networks in Germany and offers recommendations on how to improve current practice.

Title: Assessing and Interpreting Non-conformance in Land-use Planning Implementation
Abstract: Planners studying implementation continue to search for better ways to determine whether and how well plans have been implemented. Even when we can identify areas of non-conformance between plans and outcomes, it can be unclear how to interpret them. This paper presents a conformance-based framework for evaluating plan implementation based on a GIS comparison of planned versus actual land use. This method is especially useful for making distinctions between instances of non-conformance that are benign artifacts of the development process and those that suggest the presence of breakdowns in the planning process.

Title: The US Pedestrian Plan: Linking Practice and Research
Abstract: This paper examines the relationship between research and practice in pedestrian planning, focusing on the pedestrian plan in the United States. A preliminary review of plans and research was used to identify 17 aspects of pedestrian planning. These were ranked in importance through a survey of pedestrian planners at the local and metropolitan levels. A qualitative comparison of the importance attributed these features in planning research, the planners' rankings of these features, and presence and use of these features in plans was conducted. Areas of considerable discrepancy were analyzed more thoroughly, indicating areas where planning practice can benefit from present research, and where planning research could be informed by planning practice.

Title: Spatial Planning as an Integrative Mechanism: A Study of Sub-regional Planning in South Hampshire, England
Abstract: This article examines the concept of integrated spatial planning through a case study of sub-regional working in South Hampshire, England. It argues that while the government's notion of integration was ill-defined and inconsistent, there were critical opportunities discernible for planning practice. We focus on three aspects of integration: across territories and fragmented spaces; between actors and stakeholders; and from policy development to delivery and implementation. However, the cautious re-scaling of governance activity to the sub-region limited the effectiveness of the overall integration programme. The article concludes with a review of contextual features that contributed to the distinct manner in which integration was employed in South Hampshire and how this might inform future policy-making.

Title: Infrastructure Network Development, Re-territorialization Processes and Multilevel Territorial Governance: A Case Study in Northern Italy
Abstract: Infrastructure networks play a crucial role in the construction of the territory because they create connections among places and define spatial systems in physical and economic as well as political terms. The development of mobility networks activate the re-definition of the constituting relations of territories (de-territorialization and re-territorialization processes) and interact with the re-scaling of territorial governance; new actors appear on the scene and places take part in ‘multiple spatialities’. Territorial planning has to face the new infrastructure proposals within multilevel governance processes. This paper addresses these issues on the basis of a case study regarding a proposal for a ‘territorial platform’, named Ti-Bre, between the Brenner axis and the Tuscany harbour system, in Italy. This is a new connection that may change traditional transport flows, challenging regional and sectoral visions and plans as well as territorial cooperation processes, and requiring appropriate assessment of environmental and economic sustainability.

Title: The Use of Indicators in Planning: Effectiveness and Risks
Abstract: Indicators are often used to facilitate planning or governance functions such as policy and decision-making. However, simplifications associated with the creation and use of indicators are capable of undermining the proper conduct of particular tasks. This article analyses the use of indicators in key planning tasks in relation to potential effectiveness and risks, and reflects on the use and creation of indicators.

Title: Situating Rural Areas in Contemporary Housing Access Debates in England – A Comment
Abstract:
Levels of housing access in rural areas are determined by economic drivers, including local earnings, constraints on new housing supply, and by levels of market intrusion. This review article briefly examines these drivers before situating rural areas in contemporary housing access (and housing crisis) debates in England. It examines different options for reshaping housing outcomes, noting a longstanding preference for incremental change over the sorts of fundamental shifts that could radically alter the distribution of housing wealth, but with potentially deep political and economic repercussions.

Title: An Analysis of the Influence of Smart Growth on Growth Patterns in Mid-Sized Canadian Metropolitan Areas
Abstract:
Since the late 1990s, Smart Growth has found broad acceptance within Canadian planning as a framework for sustainable urban development. Smart Growth emerged as a response to decades of dispersed and decentralized growth that dominated urbanization patterns in North America post-WWII. Through a series of spatial analysis methods, this research examines whether Smart Growth has influenced growth patterns of six mid-sized Canadian census metropolitan areas from 1990 to 2010. Findings of this research suggest that municipalities and regions have adopted policies consistent with Smart Growth, however, its influence on dispersed patterns of spatial growth has been limited.

Title: Planning for Sustainability: Lessons from Studying Neighbourhood Shopping Areas
Abstract:
Neighbourhood shops are ubiquitous. They are also considered to contribute to sustainability. Yet they do not feature high on the planning agenda. This paper takes an empirical look at how planning engages with this feature of urban life, using London as a case study. It considers local policy frameworks for neighbourhood shopping areas and demonstrates the scope of the ambitions revealed. It considers the limitations of planning regulation for achieving these ambitions and assesses the potential offered by neighbourhood planning to protect and enhance such areas, recognising their mixed-use character.

Title: The Role of Temporary Use in Urban Regeneration: Ordinary and Extraordinary Approaches in Bristol and Liverpool
Abstract:
This paper attempts to extend research on the temporary reuse of brownfield land through an examination of its role in regeneration strategies. The analysis draws upon empirical experience in two case study areas: one, Bristol’s Temple Quarter where regeneration policy has tried purposely to promote temporary use, and the other, Liverpool’s Creative Quarter, where policy has attempted retrospectively to capitalize upon ‘meanwhile’ development. Drawing on interviews with key regeneration and development actors, the paper demonstrates that regeneration strategies in different local economic contexts are poorly attuned to the needs of temporary users, who assume disproportionate levels of risk.

Title: A Review of Field Experiments in Planning and Urban Research
Abstract:
Experimental methods remain largely underused by planning researchers and professionals. By adopting experimental research designs, urban scholars and practitioners can develop research programs that test theory, measure impact, build evidence, and learn about key relationships. While not all planning policies are amenable to experimentation, there is untapped potential to apply experimental approaches in many contexts. This paper aims to generate enthusiasm for experimental research methods in planning practice and scholarship by illustrating how experiments have been used to examine relevant urban questions.

Title: Reflection-In-Action in Land Use Planning: Can We Do Better?
Abstract:
The current wedge between planning education and practice on one hand, and planners’ crisis of identity on the other, call for developing more integrative teaching strategies with measurable outcomes. This paper explores how planners can integrate site planning and design techniques with real estate bottom-lines. Based on project reports for a land use and management class at the University of Texas at Arlington planning program, three teams proposed development projects in four stages. To do better planning calls for combining site and land use planning strategies with financial analysis techniques thereby, reducing the existing gap between planning education and praxis.

Title: Area-based urban regeneration comparing Denmark and Japan
Abstract:
In this paper, we study the characteristics and results of two different approaches to urban regeneration which we have termed ‘Metagovernance’ and ‘Pluricentric coordination’ following. We studied this through a comparative study of area-based, participatory urban regeneration projects in Denmark and Japan, representing each one approach. The paper aims to clarify results of the two approaches in terms of five aspects of urban regeneration, relevant to the process and results: (1) strategic spatial improvement, (2) influence of the legal system and transparency of the processes, (3) empowerment of citizens and diversity of participants, (4) innovative capacity (diversity and creativity of the projects) and (5) continuity and flexibility of the projects. The paper concludes that each approach has strengths and weaknesses and that each country can learn from the other to strengthen future participatory urban regeneration.

Title: ‘Clock-watching and box-ticking’: British local authority planners, professionalism and performance targets
Abstract:
The speed of the statutory planning system has concerned UK Governments for decades. The Labour Government of 1997–2010 placed particular emphasis on increasing the efficiency of public services through performance targets. Whilst the subsequent Coalition Government of 2010–2015 removed many targets, those measuring the speed of planning application processing were kept. These performance targets have important potential implications in terms of the autonomy and space for discretionary judgement traditionally seen as intrinsic to the professional nature of planning. Empirical material exploring how British local authority planners responded to these targets suggests they have both restricted and empowered professionals and, whilst changes to practice have occurred, professional identities have remained more resilient. This contradictory picture highlights the importance of considering the role of frontline professionals in implementing reforms.

Title: Preventing the displacement of small businesses through commercial gentrification: are affordable workspace policies the solution?
Abstract:
The displacement of small businesses in cities with rising land values is of increasing concern to local communities and reflected in the literature on commercial or industrial gentrification. This article explores the perception of such gentrification as both a problem and an opportunity, and considers the motivations and implications of state intervention in London, where policies requiring affordable workspace to be delivered within mixed use developments have been introduced. Based on case studies of 13 mixed use developments in London, the findings reveal the limitations and unintended consequences of affordable workspace policies, leading to a call for planners to revisit and strengthen more traditional planning tools.

Title: Planning reform beyond planning: the debate on an integrated Environment and Planning Act in the Netherlands
Abstract:
Land-use plans serve a dual function. On the one hand, they are programmes for future development, plans for action. On the other hand, they have a regulative function in relation to construction and land use. This paper investigates how the interplay between these functions is playing a role in the current debate about the new integrated Environment and Planning Act (Omgevingswet) in the Netherlands. Initially, the government proposed abolishing local land-use plans and replacing them with a system of by-laws. However, this proposal did not survive the debate on this bill. This paper will shed light on the relationships between planning and regulation by analysing that debate.

Title: Resistance to metropolitan institutionality and planning in Chile
Abstract:
In this article, the authors review and analyse two key processes conducted by the Chilean state over the past 50 years. The first process consists of the development of specific planning instruments for the particular realities of metropolitan areas. The second process consists of the successive legislative attempts to work towards a definition of a new form of institutionality for cities with metropolitan profiles. These attempts have either failed or solely become bills of law. Both processes suggest a political and technical resistance throughout history, to substantially modify institutionality, as well as planning instruments, in order to make them more appropriate and consistent with the needs of growing metropolitan areas in Chile.

Title: Spatial planning in small islands: the need to discuss the concept of ecological structure
Abstract:
The concepts of green infrastructure and ecological structure (ES) are current topics of discussion among the scientific community and spatial planners. ES is mandatory in Portugal in land-planning, such as municipal master plans, but no consensus has been reached on how to implement it. The concept has not yet been implemented in the Azores, a Portuguese autonomous region, even though the Region has the responsibility of adapting legislation or accomplishing the Portuguese legislature. This study presents a critical analysis of the available literature about ES and proposes a conceptual framework to define ES for small islands, which have unique characteristics, focusing on the Azorean archipelago. The conceptual framework meets the requirements of local legislation and uses an ecological function approach that is increasingly advocated in recent European recommendations. This framework is presented as a strategic and flexible way to identify both the important elements (recognized in current legislation) in a territory and the remaining potential of the territory. The framework also supports decision-making by allowing the identification of integrated solutions, decreasing trade-offs as much as possible and reconciling the needs of nature conservation and socioeconomic development. This framework could be applied to other small islands and other territories, with local adaptations.

Title: Institutional Adjustments and Strategic Planning Action: The Case of Victorian Wildfire Planning
Abstract:
This paper provides a critical analysis of the way that practice-based strategic planning in terms of disaster risk reduction occurs, highlighting the drivers and facilitators of change. It documents these in the context of other governmental systems. Examination the changes to wildfire planning policy in Victoria, Australia, following the 2009 Bushfire Season, provides an explanation of the realpolitik of policy formation, management and change, as well as inter-governmental interactions. The findings document and discuss the conditions and reasons for strategic change occurring in the case study.

Title: Planning Strategically or by the Book?—Contentious Land Use Planning in South-eastern Finland
Abstract:
The debate on strategic spatial planning highlights the limitations of statutory land use planning in weighing up future options for spatial development, particularly in instances of rapid change. This paper draws on this debate in order to analyse planning institutions and practices in Finland. The case in point is the south-eastern border region where interdependencies with Russia, particularly shopping tourism, have created pressures on land use and led to contentious planning processes between regional and central levels of government. It is argued that, in the absence of cross-border spatial co-ordination, there is a need to establish links between regional land use planning and visions of spatial scenarios in the national context.

Title: The Sidewalk as a Contested Space: Women’s Negotiation of Socio-Spatial Processes of Exclusion in Public Urban Space in Saudi Arabia; The Case of Al Tahlia Street
Abstract:
Riyadh is one of the most gender-segregated cities in the world. However, as gender segregation is less enforced on sidewalks, it provides an optimal case study for a space where women and men may be co-present. Thus, this paper aims to increase the understanding of the relationship between sociocultural norms and spatial programming regarding spatio-temporal inclusion or exclusion in public urban spaces. The results show that women’s use and access to sidewalks are influenced by gender norms, religious values, gendered regulations, and generic spatial programming. For instance, regulations limit the use of outdoor seating to men only, thus sidewalks adjacent to, e.g., cafes function as mono-gender spaces dominated by men. However, young women negotiate spatially bounded gender norms through their presence, behaviour, and dress. Although sidewalks are conceived as men’s space, women account for nearly half of the users, but their use often goes unnoticed as women self-regulate their spatio-temporal and visible presence. The study presents six types of women’s spatio-temporal behaviours with varying degrees of visible and invisible users. Ultimately, this paper argues that planning for inclusive sidewalks cannot be addressed solely through the ‘universal’ characterization of space; it should also be supplemented by context-specific knowledge regarding the socio-spatial needs.

Title: Evaluating Housing Needs and Preferences of Generation Y in Malaysia
Abstract:
In Malaysia, housing providers affect the planning system as housing industry constantly evolves to meet homebuyer needs. Generation Y has exhibited dissimilar housing needs compared to Generation X and Baby Boomer. Thus, housing developers seek to identify the current needs for young homebuyers to avoid experiencing unsold properties. This research aims to identify the fundamental housing needs and psychographic characteristics towards their housing preferences and future planning demands. A quantitative survey was used for collecting data and a statistical analysis was performed to evaluate research outcomes. This research will help local housing developers to understand Generation Y needs and preferences for the future housing demand.

Title: Establishing Design Principles for Wildfire Resilient Urban Planning
Abstract:
This study elaborates on the built and natural environment disciplines’ potential to develop applied understandings of resilience, using the example of land-use planning design guides in wildfire-prone areas. It argues that land-use planning can develop and apply spatial and physical resilience principles to disasters, contributing to developing meaningful ways of achieving resilience by bridging the space between overarching goals and the specificity of individual contexts, focusing on physical resistance. It concludes that there are nine design principles that can improve settlements resilience in wildfire-prone areas to reduce risks, organized under two major categories: acting on resistance and facilitating response.

Title: Profiteering from Disaster: Why Planners Need to be Paying More Attention to Insurance
Abstract:
Insurance is overlooked in planning practice and research. Focusing on house and contents insurance in Australia’s disaster-prone areas, I describe why the impacts of insurance availability and pricing on urban form requires greater attention from planners. With increasing climate change-related risks, the growing influence of insurance and insurers is exacerbating social and financial inequity: fostering disadvantaged enclaves and protected pockets of wealth, and sustaining insurer profits. I call for the better integration of insurance within planning, particularly a more considered and careful mobilization of insurance in disaster preparation. I present four research questions for advancing planning in disaster-prone urban areas.

Title: Spain Following in the EU’s Footsteps: The Europeanization of Spatial Planning in its Autonomous Communities
Abstract:
Recent years have seen the emergence of the European dimension to the territorial planning conducted at lower scales, in a process described as the ‘Europeanization’ of spatial planning. Given that, to date, this phenomenon has received little attention as it affects Spain, this article seeks to analyse the impact of Europeanization on Spanish spatial planning, focused on an examination of its regional territorial plans. The results show that Spain has been no exception in the application of these European directives but, at the same time, its unique administrative organization means that the process of Europeanization remains slow and heterogeneous in its application.

Title: Discrete Landscapes in Metropolitan Lisbon: Open Space as a Planning Resource in Times of Latency
Abstract:
In a context of changing trends in metropolitan spatial development, associated with economic latency and a slow-down in large urban and infrastructural projects, Lisbon's territory provides an ideal test-bed for alternative approaches to urban planning. Landscape and open space play an increasingly meaningful role in local planning policies, which engage municipalities and multiple actors in partnership projects. Three cases are discussed as examples of a changing attitude towards lighter and discrete interventions, focused on linking patches of fragmented landscape, by reframing planning and delivery schemes and engaging with the community and immaterial qualities.

Title: Metropolitan Governance in the Peri-Urban Landscape: The Tower of Babel? The Case of the Vienna–Bratislava Metropolitan Region
Abstract:
The discrepancy between the de facto city and the de iure city has brought to the attention the pressing issue of metropolitan governance, which has often strengthened the cooperation among existing institutions but without including other relevant stakeholders in the discussion. This contribution explores the limitations of institutional governance within the case of the Vienna–Bratislava metropolitan region, particularly challenging because of its cross-border condition, its fragmented management of the territory and its rapidly changing landscape. The argument brought forward is that even though institutional cooperation is essential, effective metropolitan governance also requires the involvement of non-institutional stakeholders in order to carry out meaningful spatial planning on the territory.

Title: Protection of Peri-Urban Open Spaces and Food-System Strategies. The Case of Parco delle Risaie in Milan
Abstract:
Food-system planning is a planning approach focused on the elements that are directly or indirectly involved in food production, including the effects of these processes on territories and cities. A strategy for protecting peri-urban green areas aligned with the food-system planning approach is being adopted in the metropolitan area of Milan, in Parco delle Risaie. This article outlines the planning process underlying the establishment of Parco delle Risaie, where peri-urban space protection strategies have been integrated with food-system planning strategies, such as the creation of a local food chain and the promotion of multifunctional farming activities.

Title: Towards Sustainable Territories-in-Between: A Multidimensional Typology of Open Spaces in Europe
Abstract:
To improve the ecosystem service provided by open spaces in dispersed urban areas is a key challenge for sustainable spatial development in Europe. The typology presented in this article illustrates the different potentials that open spaces in territories-in-between have across 10 cases in Europe. Unlike other typologies, neither function nor form is used for the classification, but the potential interaction of open spaces with social, technical and ecological networks. Therefore, the typology informs regional spatial planning and design about the potential ecosystem services in networked urban regions. Thereby the importance of territories-in-between, which are often neglected by mainstream spatial planning and design, for sustainable development is highlighted.

Title: Making the Blood Broil: Conflicts Over Imagined Rurality in Peri-Urban Australia
Abstract:
A key challenge for planning the peri-urban internationally derives from the ability of land-use change to outstrip the development of new concepts and understandings. There are few places where this is more apparent than in the peri-urban areas of Melbourne, Australia, where applications to develop technologically sophisticated broiler or poultry farms are fiercely opposed by local residents and amenity migrants with attendant imaginaries of local community and extensive rural agricultural production. This paper presents the results of an analysis of development application appeals to show how the poultry industry negotiates with the planning system and manages community expectations in a broad swath of Melbourne's exurbia. In particular, we question the relevance of the rural–urban duality for planning this space and argue the need for new concepts to lessen the conflict in these hybridized spaces of third nature.

Title: Planning, Population Loss and Equity in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina
Abstract: Shrinking, slow-growth and fast-growth cities have different opportunities and constraints. This paper uses New Orleans following the severe flood damage from the 2005 hurricanes as a case study to investigate the challenges to developing equitable and effective plans in a city with significant population loss. By addressing four elements that are necessary for effective planning in depopulated areas—strategies for targeted investment and consolidation; alternatives for underused areas; mechanisms to reintegrate abandoned parcels; and plans for infrastructure and service provision—we argue that the lack of effective tools was a pivotal impediment to effective planning.

Title: A Future for the Past: A New Theoretical Model for Sustainable Historic Urban Environments
Abstract: Industrial regions across the developed world have experienced a period of steady decline since the 1960s. The regeneration of former industrial sites, particularly for tourism, has become an expedient strategy for targeting the economic and social deprivation often associated with de-industrialization. This places significant expectations on heritage not only as a contributor to the more immediate regeneration process but also as a vehicle for long-term sustainable development. Using data drawn from a case study of UK industrial World Heritage sites, this article presents findings that indicate the need for procedural and institutional innovation if industrial heritage sites are to respond to the challenge of sustainable development. The paper concludes with a model of sustainable heritage management that is relevant to other complex historic sites.

Title: Cultural Triangle and Beyond: A Spatial Analysis of Cultural Industries in Istanbul
Abstract: Cultural industries are regarded among the key sectors for economic development. With its historic heritage, cultural diversity, and urban vitality, Istanbul has significant potential upon which creativity and cultural industries could flourish. This paper examines the current structure of three cultural industries in Istanbul from a spatial perspective. These sectors are arts and culture festivals, the film industry, and the fashion design industry. The results show that these three sectors are spatially clustered in the city, in an area we call the ‘cultural triangle’. This area provides the opportunity of experiencing different types of cultural facilities and activities, accommodates a density of social networks and interactions, and offers an abundance of historic buildings that constitute a unique and attractive urban core. Furthermore it is where Istanbul's ‘critical mass’ is present. The rest of the metropolitan area beyond the cultural triangle, however, is a highly impoverished landscape in regard to creativity and culture. Some suggestions are made of how spatial planning policy can overcome this discrepancy between the centre and the periphery.

Title: Institutional Capacity-building in Urban Planning and Policy-making for Sustainable Development: Success or Failure?
Abstract: Local and regional governments are facing extreme challenges regarding their ability to plan for sustainable urban development. The ever-present pro-market policy agenda leaves little room regarding global considerations for long-term environmental conservation and social justice. The complexity of sustainable development also defies the traditional management and problem solving capabilities of most local municipalities. Different types of informal and formal partnerships, networks and arenas have been formed to offset such deficiencies. This paper presents an example of a cross-sector, multi-level civil servant arena and examines its ability to provide a more integrative approach to planning and policy-making in western Sweden. The results were assessed using a combination of theory on institutional capacity-building and sustainability learning. The arena increases institutional capacity by promoting relational links across organizational divisions and governance levels, and by increasing substantive knowledge. At the same time, the more radical and innovative results were either avoided or watered down, and opportunities developed through institutional capacity-building were vastly underused.

Title: Urban Green Space Policy and Discourse in England under New Labour from 1997 to 2010
Abstract: Urban green space, although an important aspect of urban life in England since the 19th century, experienced declining quality throughout the late 20th century. The election of the New Labour Government in 1997 saw the development of a new urban policy discourse, which recognized the important contribution of green space to quality of life. This paper examines New Labour's policy measures on urban green space and focuses on the Urban White Paper of 2000, new funding opportunities, planning guidance, changing urban green space governance and the introduction of national and local performance targets. Additionally, it identifies four broad policy discourses surrounding urban green space that reflect different but overlapping understandings of the value and function of urban green space relating to quantity, quality, nature/biodiversity and social/community. The paper concludes that there is a need for further research to examine the implications of changes in the national policy agenda and associated policy discourses for the planning, management and governance of urban green space at the local level. This will also enable a more in-depth analysis and understanding of the four policy discourses identified and provide a platform from which to assess future changes in green space policy and management.

Title: The Ahmedabad Urban Development Plan-making Process: A Critical Review
Abstract: This paper critically reviews the city plan-making process in Ahmedabad, India. The aim is to review the process to establish its strengths and weaknesses. It is shown that the Ahmedabad Development Plan lacks analytical rigour and transparency and there is lack of clarity on how the final plan was finally decided. The mismatch between objectives and the means to achieve it is also shown. It is believed that such a critical review will be of interest to planners in India and other developing countries. In addition, it is intended to promote and formulate a more analytical and scientific approach to planning.

Title: Best Practices and Policy Transfer in Spatial Planning
Abstract: Numerous European programs and initiatives have been instrumental in identifying a large and increasing number of examples of best practice (or good practice) in the field of spatial planning. In fact, there is now a profligacy of best practice, which means that many researchers and policy-makers are often confronted with too much information when trying to identify examples of policy and practice in other places. The identification and dissemination of best practices has become a growing industry in many areas of European policy, including spatial planning and urban environmental issues. In many cases, an underlying assumption of best practices is that they are equally applicable and effective in another setting, and that the development and dissemination of best practice will help to lead to improvements in policy and practice in other countries, regions or cities. However, the reality is that best practices have a more limited role in policy-making processes: other influences are frequently more important. The value of exchanging European best practices is limited since there are huge differences in the economic, political or social situation between countries in the European Union. This is particularly true when considering the transfer of best practices between ‘new’ and ‘old’ member states, where the social and economic situation, as well as the institutional frameworks, are often very different in ‘borrowing’ and ‘lending’ countries.

Title: Comparing Spatial Planning Practice in Europe: A Plea for Cultural Sensitization
Abstract: Comparative research into spatial planning systems typically adopts a structuralist/legalistic approach. This article presents and argues for an integrated perspective which embraces both systemic structures and concrete planning practices. The article begins with a short survey of the current state of comparative research on planning and its weaknesses. At the heart of the article is the endeavor to sensitize the discourse in planning theory towards a culturalistically oriented interpretational context. The studies which display the greatest potential for connectivity in this regard come from comparative research on governance. The concept of the institutional milieu which such research has produced provides the starting-point for an outline of some of the key aspects of a culturally sensitized form of comparative planning research which focuses primarily on the micro level. This represents something akin to a research agenda.

Title: Comparing Spatial Planning Systems and Planning Cultures in Europe. The Need for a Multi-scalar Approach
Abstract: The article argues that in order to understand changes in planning systems and planning cultures in Europe, there is need to adopt a multi-scalar approach with different entry points of analysis. This should give emphasis to the overlooked aspects of actor constellation, knowledge and policy styles. Without neglecting the importance of institutional and legal contexts of spatial planning the comparative analysis should focus on the changes emerging in actor arenas, at different scales of planning practices (project/local, city, regional, cross/border and the national level). Furthermore, the cultural features of planning, the different steering styles and the norms, values, belief systems, visions and frames of the actors involved in the planning process are significant. Adiachronic historical analysis is needed in order to compare changes of planning systems and cultures between different places.

Title: The Social Construction of Planning Systems: A Strategic-Relational Institutionalist Approach
Abstract: This article reflects on a theoretical framework for the analysis of planning systems based on an institutionalist planning theory broadened with Jessop's strategic-relational approach. The aim is to explore the concept of the planning system with an actor—structure perspective so as to underline possible research consequences for analyses and comparisons of planning systems. The article highlights the interactions of actors and social institutional elements, clarifying the strategic-relational nature of a planning system and the dialectical process at the basis of its changes and evolutions.

Title: Planning Systems as Institutional Technologies: a Proposed Conceptualization and the Implications for Comparison
Abstract: Spatial planning systems have become the subject of much comparative research in recent years. This has resulted in very general classifications, while a definition of the subject of comparison remains vague. Any attempt at comparative evaluation has proved therefore to be difficult and controversial, impeding further theoretical and institutional progress. Against this backdrop, the present contribution is aimed as an effort towards conceptualization. The notion of ‘institutional technology’ is adopted in order to understand planning systems as specific social constructs, thus encompassing also the shaping of respective planning cultures. Implications for analysis and comparison are discussed.

Title: Framing Cultures of Spatial Planning
Abstract: If one compares different advanced systems of spatial planning, it is surprising that even similar systems show rather different results. This raises the question of what causes these differences. One obvious hypothesis is that in addition to the similarities between planning systems, a number of different ‘soft’ cultural factors also play a crucial role. Starting from this hypothesis and using an actor-centered approach the article suggests the use of frame analysis as a suitable tool for investigating these ‘soft’ cultural aspects of spatial planning. The main objective of such an investigation is not to develop a prescriptive method for spatial planning itself, but rather to gain a social scientific understanding of the structure and the dynamics of the framing process, which could then serve as an inspirational basis for developing diverse practical schemes of spatial planning. It is argued that culture plays an important role in spatial planning and that the role of culture can be addressed with an actor-centered approach. The article gives a short overview of the development of different forms of frame-analysis in social sciences and policy research. The concluding section argues that an analysis of cultural frames in spatial planning is richer and carries more potential than other approaches, for example, the more traditional and usual actor analysis or discourse analysis.

Title: The Europeanization of National Planning: Explaining the Causes and the Potentials of Change
Abstract: This article proposes a methodological framework for analyzing the Europeanization of national planning, that is, EU influence on domestic planning systems and policies. It seeks in particular to examine whether, where, and how Europeanization of national planning occurs and under which analytic frameworks it may be explained. To this end, the article proposes a three-step research approach. First, it highlights the main patterns of Europeanization in the area of national planning in relation to different modes of EU governance and ideal types of Europeanization. Second, it suggests a typology for the examination of the potential effects of the Europeanization of planning at the domestic level. Finally, it develops some hypotheses on how different institutional, socio-economic and cultural contexts may accommodate or restrain the Europeanization of national planning.

Title: Europeanization and Changing Planning in East-Central Europe: An Easterner's View
Abstract: The way that European integration influences planning has become a frequent issue for discussion in planning over recent years. Also, the changes in the European Union (EU) resulting from its recent enlargement attract attention from scholars, including planners, mostly from the countries of the ‘old’ EU 15.This contribution tries to join the two topics from the viewpoint of an easterner who has immediate experience of past as well as present issues of planning in East-Central Europe. It deals with specific readings of common European planning challenges and attempts to analyse the European impact on domestic planning in these countries.

Title: Introduction to Special Theme Practice Forum: Latin American Spatial Planning beyond Clichés
Abstract:
There is no spatial planning in Latin America, or so the cliché goes. As it turns out, Latin America is vast and variegated and planning capacities vary tremendously across the region. Latin American cities face a variety of challenges and may seem disorganised and chaotic, but their problem is not lack of planning, but the tremendous challenges of rapid urbanization in weak institutional contexts, where planning happens ‘post-facto’ and many citizens are currently excluded from the benefits of planned urbanization. This state of affairs is made more acute by the seemingly unending struggle between redistribution policies and neoliberalism.

Title: Unboxing the Black Box of Peruvian Planning
Abstract:
This paper reviews the social and professional embeddedness of planning, describes its legal framework, and reviews territorial governance and everyday planning transactions. The findings suggest that the social embeddedness of planning is constrained by Peru’s persistent inequality challenges. Its planning approach has hardly evolved from modernist models centred in zoning and building codes. Its fragmented and profuse legal framework constitutes a black box for planners and citizens, while territorial governance is subject to the state’s low interest and capacity to plan, manage and steer spatial development. These results demand a fundamental revision of the planning system, its approach and governance.

Title: Spatial Planning, an Embedded Regulation of Neoliberal Practices. Study of the Colombian Case
Abstract:
This article adresses different ways of understanding the causes of a spatial planning crisis in Colombia. Contrary to the government’s approach, which attributes the failure of spatial planning to technical shortcomings, we argue that authorities underestimate specific historical dynamics that create hindrances to the success of spatial planning in Colombia. Spatial planning has been historically the subject of two large debates in Colombian society: firstly, the debate on the limitations to the right to private property and land redistribution and secondly, the debate on territorial organization. These historical tensions are central explanatory factors for the spatial planning crisis in Colombia.

Title: Planning Approaches to the Management of Land Value Increments in Argentina
Abstract:
The objective of this article is to analyze to what extent the current planning approaches utilized by local governments contribute to the private appropriation of land value increments or whether, they allow governments to capture part of this added value in the name of the public interest. The paper argues that in Argentina there are three competing approaches by which local governments address this issue: a laissez-faire approach, an entrepreneurial approach and a socially oriented approach. It goes on to examine the principles, legal basis and instruments of each approach and presents examples of large urban projects managed in accordance with them.

Title: Characterization of Spatial Planning in Brazil: The Right to the City in Theory and Practice
Abstract:
This article characterizes spatial planning in Brazil from a normative point of view. Because of Brazil’s vast geography and uneven development, it is not possible to describe how spatial planning is carried out in all quarters of the country. We explore key aspects of spatial planning in the country using policy goals, the legal and administrative structures where planning operates and the attributes of governance in the Brazilian planning system. The interplay between formal and informal urban development is a crucial aspect in Brazilian planning. Despite huge steps towards citizen engagement and inclusion in planning processes, planning remains largely technocratic.

Title: Opening up Planning? Planning Reform in an Era of ‘Open Government’
Abstract:
English planning reform is a highly politicized process involving diverse bodies seeking to influence the direction of future national policy. Drawing on a conceptualization of multi-scalar metagovernance ‘in the shadow of hierarchy’, this article provides insights into how external bodies seek to influence policy reform. The article also examines the flip-side, that is how policy-makers view the efforts of external bodies to influence national planning reforms. The findings reveal how the rhetoric of opening up government and reducing central direction in favour of local discretion collided with the reality of retaining strong central direction and privileging developer interests.

Title: Implementation of International Land Use Objectives - Discussions in Germany -
Abstract:
International sustainability objectives for land use, designated in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and Habitat III are formulated in general ways. The objectives need specification and regionalisation to raise impact. How far the general spirit of the objectives is reflected in regional and local practiceswill be discussed using the example of the annual scientific meeting of the German Academy of Spatial Research and Planning (ARL). This article shows that discussions about implementation comprise a richness of ideas in good practice and concepts for inner city development in some locations, whereas other disputes, for example, urban-rural interconnections, are missing.

Title: The Bounded and Pragmatic Consultant: Fiscal Impact Analysts as Rational Actors
Abstract:
This article examines how fiscal impact analysts retained by municipal governments across the United States approach their work. Consistent with theories of rationality found in the extant literature, the results suggest these third-party consultants do not view themselves solely as technicians responsible for generating the most accurate studies possible. Rather, they rely on heuristics to enhance the defensibility, interpretability, and tractability of the reports they produce, while recognizing political dynamics and the need to build consensus. These reflections add the voice of the fiscal impact consultant to the planning research – a voice surprisingly absent to date.

Title: Educating spatial planners for the age of co-creation: the need to risk community, science and practice involvement in planning programmes and curricula
Abstract:
Planners are often billed as leaders and change agents of the (un)built environment. It is, however, important to recognize that they are in reality only one of many players in a sea of actors involved in shaping future developments and projects. Plans and interventions today are co-created and in fact co-evolve relying as much on the input, cooperation and actions of inhabitants, users, developers, politicians as on expert planners and a wide variety of other professions. In this introductory section, we, as editors of this special issue, posit that planners therefore require skills for co-creation drawing on science and working with other disciplines. In turn, planning programmes and curricula need to incorporate learning and teaching approaches that prepare students in higher education for working in co-creation settings by purposefully exposing them to learning environments that involve community, science and practice. The collection of papers, which were presented initially at the 2014 Association of European Schools of Planning congress in Utrecht hereafter showcase curriculum developments and pedagogical research of planning educators from different world regions that in the round shed light on a variety of issues and challenges of embedding learning and teaching for co-creation and co-evolution. In particular, we elaborate on the tensions of employing transformational yet high-risk pedagogies in higher education settings that are becoming increasingly risk-averse and streamlined and we suggest an agenda for planning curriculum development.

Title: The benefits of embedding experiential learning in the education of planners
Abstract:
In a future of complexity, uncertainty and fragmented governance we envision planning graduates who will be better prepared for the real world of planning as a result of an experiential learning (EL) approach in undergraduate tertiary education. In this paper, we present the findings of an Australian research project in which planning educators developed and tested a range of experiential planning principles based on sound pedagogical theory. Embedding EL principles and activities within the planning curriculum provides a structured programme of engagement between theory and practice over the four years of an undergraduate Australian planning programme, including opportunities for work-integrated learning. Students gain experience in negotiated decision-making involving a wide range of interactions with planning practitioners. Students become more adaptable—cognizant of mechanisms influencing change, and recognize the value of lifelong learning founded on critical reflection. We propose that a more systematic approach to integrating experiential learning in tertiary planning education culminating in ‘work integrated learning’ would provide a vehicle for further partnerships with responsive local practitioners and communities. Finally, this paper also argues that applying experiential learning does not compromise the quality of planning education based on greater academic rigour.

Title: Practice ~ reflection ~ learning: work experience in planner education
Abstract:
This paper reports findings from textual analysis of the journals submitted by students who undertook the 2013 Planning Field Placement Course for the undergraduate degree of Urban and Regional Planning at the University of South Australia. We discuss the extent to which the reflective narratives contained in journal assignments demonstrate student expectations about the goals of work experience and their relative focus on descriptive versus reflective dimensions of work experience learning. We conclude that whilst the learning is quite significant, the extent of reflection on critical issues of professionalism is limited. Different perspectives on practice, reflection and learning seem to be in play, with possibly too much of a silo/solo approach to each. We end with some reflections on the implications for pedagogical practice in relation to work experience programming.

Title: Multiversity of the twenty-first century – examining opportunities for integrating community engagement in planning curricula
Abstract:
This paper examines student-community engagement activity in planning. This is a subset of university–community engagement, and is a point of overlap between such engagement and planning education. Community engagement activity enables students to learn in situ practical skills within live projects, while community partners may benefit from technical knowhow, and labour input. Based on a UK-wide survey and three in-depth case studies, the paper explores the pedagogical designs underpinning community engagement activities involving students, as well as the various capacities in which the different participants – students, instructors and community members – act. The analysis reveals considerable diversity in approaches. An alignment of student engagement activities in the planning curriculum with emerging transformative co-learning models of university-community engagement could offer novel opportunities for the discipline of planning and their impact on communities as well as the fields standing in today’s multiversities.

Title: Educating collaborative planners: strengthening evidence for the learning potential of multi-stakeholder regional learning environments
Abstract:
Planning education needs effective learning environments that support students’ boundary crossing competence development. The multi-stakeholder regional learning environment (RLE) is, by its typical design, hypothesized to foster boundary crossing. This quasi-experimental mixed method pre- and post-test study affirms the effectiveness of the RLE for stimulating competence development, and specifically shows the added value of three typical ‘boundary crossing’ RLE design characteristics, i.e. working in multidisciplinary student groups, working intensively with multiple stakeholders, and a high coaching intensity. Results strengthen previous findings, and contribute to the debate in planning education on an evidence-based pedagogical fundament for commonly used authentic learning environments.

Title: Learning through communicating with the public
Abstract:
In 2012, ETH Zurich, in collaboration with Swiss Society of Engineers and Architects (SIA), organized a travelling exhibition on the theme Darum Raumplanung (Spatial Planning: Here’s Why!), which was hosted by 37 Swiss cities (with 42 stops in sum) over the last three years. Through this exhibition and its parallel events, such as grand openings, guided tours, debates, visits in schools and a website, we wanted to raise public awareness of the public’s responsibility, both individual and collective, for the living spaces and the environment. Guided tours for adults, as well as for primary and secondary school students, were conducted by undergraduate planning students and recent graduates of a master’s programme in planning. We discovered that planning students had gained considerable experience in communicating with the public through this exercise.

Title: Use of Redundant Industrial Buildings as Injections into the Cultural Sector in Norway
Abstract:
Prime aim is to examine the way the culture sector reuses industrial buildings to instigate cultural activities in the municipalities. The discussion of various actors’ motivation for engagement is based on results from a case study, supplemented with findings from a coarse-meshed telephone survey. At national level overarching political guidelines can be traced back to white papers concerning cultural policy, urban transformation and cultural heritage, and the municipalities’ cultural policies mirror these guidelines. What tends to decide if such initiatives are considered successful are local abilities to cross sectorial divisions and instigate cooperation between municipal planners, private entrepreneurs and NGOs.

Title: Multi-criteria Decision-Making for Greenways: The Case of Trabzon, Turkey
Abstract:
Greenways are multi-objective planning tools for sustainable development that take several criteria into account. In order to resolve the conflicts among objectives, greenway planning requires advanced strategies for decision-making processes and techniques. To aid in this, multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) systems have significant capacity to analytically prioritize and select alternatives. This research develops a strategy for defining, prioritizing and selecting greenway alternatives with the support of Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) based on an empirical study in the urban region of Trabzon (Turkey). The study finds that AHP has promising capacity to analytically prioritize alternatives and rationally select the best alternative.

Title: Bypassing Publicity for Getting Things Done: Between Informal and Formal Planning Practices in Finland
Abstract:
This article contributes to the discussion concerning the ways in which network governance and classical-modernist government practices juxtapose and redefine the idea of publicity in planning practices. Through Finnish urban planning cases we ask what kind of publicity is being promoted. We argue that new modes of governing build and employ institutional ambiguity for ‘getting things done’. This provides possibilities to ‘skim the cream’ of the best possible ways of resolving present planning issues. The crucial question is whether the possible positive outcomes give a mandate to the process, even if the process operates in a democratic void.

Title: Reconsidering Scale: Using Geographic Information Systems to Support Spatial Planning Conversations
Abstract:
How do planners compose plans that fit complex environmental systems? How do they align mismatched ecological and governance landscapes? We studied a small group of practitioners planning for groundwater sustainability to explore these questions. We recorded and transcribed their talk as they worked with geovisualization tools to diagnose and resolve future water shortages. Our findings showed how these planners crossed scales and levels as they reconsidered the relationships between groundwater supplies and consumers. While they recognized the urgency of aquifer overdraft, they complained about a lack of fine-grained hydrogeologic data, which they rely on for managing local water shortages.

Title: Implementing Dementia-Friendly Land Use Planning: An Evaluation of Current Literature and Financial Implications for Greenfield Development in Suburban Canada
Abstract:
The number of people with dementia worldwide will reach 115.4 million by 2050. This accelerating crisis has sparked research on how to design neighbourhoods for those with early dementia, and how to empower them through built environment changes to remain in their community for as long as possible. There are numerous benefits for persons with dementia who continue access to their neighbourhood: physical activity, sense of dignity, social interaction, autonomy and psychological wellbeing. In this paper, I examine 17 recommendations (urban design and land use strategies) identified as ‘dementia-friendly’, within dementia design and planning literature. Each is then examined against the planning frameworks for a mid-size suburban municipality in Ontario and assessed for its financial impact on a base case subdivision using pro forma analysis. The effect on the financial return for a developer was minimal, demonstrating that establishing these recommendations as policy is viable, through regulation and incentives.

Title: Rational Versus Communicative: Towards an Understanding of Spatial Planning Methods in German Planning Practice
Abstract:
This paper considers the use of planning methods in German planning practice against the background of the ‘communicative turn’. The debate about concepts of rationality in Germany as well as in other countries can be said to have resulted in the paradigm of communicative actor-oriented planning achieving at least the same standing as the analytical rationality of the classical expert-based planning model. The inconsistent use of the term method in research corresponds to empirical findings indicating that the term is used ambiguously in practice. Nonetheless, planning methods fulfil a number of functions in practice. The notion of a relatively clear division between ‘analytical-rational’ methods on the one hand and ‘communicative’ methods on the other hand was relativized by experimental investigations. The setting in which the methods are applied seems of more importance; even apparently ‘analytical-rational’ planning methods can be implemented in a more or less communicative fashion.

Title: Getting the Planners Off Our Backs: Questioning the Post-Political Nature of English Planning Policy
Abstract:
There is now a large body of work that seeks to understand the evolution of planning systems across the globe, particularly the adaptation of planning to/under varying forms of neoliberalism. Some of this research seeks to provide empirical insights into new state spaces and the actors that occupy them. Others have made theoretical explanation of the reform agenda their goal. In sum much of the literature now points to an academic understanding of government policies on planning as representative of a ‘new moment’, characterized by a post-political narrowing of debate on what the fundamental objectives of the activity should be. In this contribution, we find grounds to agree with aspects of this analysis that takes the post-political as an explanatory framework. However, using the passage of the UK Localism and Decentralization Bill into law as the Localism Act 2011, we argue that the process of enacting planning reform was accompanied by acts of manipulation (heresthetics) and decontestation that accord more closely to traditional and long-standing methods of political action motivated by ideology.

Title: Data Development for Implementing Integrated Land-use and Transportation Forecasting Models in Medium-sized Metropolitan Planning Organizations
Abstract: Integrated land-use and transportation forecasting models require large amounts of data to calibrate and estimate. Obtaining reliable datasets for these models can be one of the most cost-prohibitive and time-consuming stages of such an endeavor. The purpose of this paper is to present a case-study data development program that was able to successfully provide all of the needed data for the estimation and calibration of an integrated land-use and transportation forecasting model. The recently developed Cube Land model was implemented in the Montgomery (Alabama) Area Metropolitan Planning Organization with funding from the Alabama Department of Transportation. The data development program was fiscally and temporally constrained and replicates typical model development conditions in medium-sized metropolitan planning organizations. This case study presents findings demonstrating that in the US locally developed datasets combined with national data sources and ‘off-the-shelf’, relatively low-cost but high-quality, purchasable datasets can be obtained in a relatively short amount of time and are sufficient to estimate and calibrate an integrated land-use and transportation forecasting model.

Title: Engineering Education versus Environmental Planning: A Case Study in Southern Italy
Abstract: This paper deals with the environmental awareness in planners' education. It investigates the awareness of students in an Italian school of building engineering. The main objective is to evaluate if and how the levels of environmental cognition and sensitivity in students are affected by the knowledge delivered by the course programme, depending on the behavioural features of each agent in a traditional technical engineering context. The multi-agent, forum-based interaction approach develops as a virtual web forum, and may be more democratic, reflective and creative than face-to-face interactions. The results provide indications of the impact of the characteristics of environment-related courses on the environmental knowledge of engineering students, and makes recommendations to embed sustainability issues in technical curricula in order to reinforce engineers' knowledge in dealing with environmental complexity.

Title: Neighbourhood Accessibility and Active Travel
Abstract: Neighbourhoods are advocated in UK planning policy in order to foster social capital, combat obesity and reduce transport greenhouse emissions. The new agenda of localism reinforces this move. Yet travel behaviour trends, and the continuing decline of local facilities, are working in the opposite direction. A review of earlier research points to gaps in our empirical knowledge and uncertainties about the degree to which spatial policy can influence behaviour and ‘create’ viable neighbourhoods. This paper examines the pattern of access to local facilities, and the factors which influence it, reporting on the results of a household survey in 12 suburban and exurban localities in four English cities. The focus is particularly on modal choice, comparing the behaviour of different social groups in different situations. The findings point to the danger of assuming all communities and places are alike. The degree of local use of facilities, and the level of active travel to get to them, varies widely by type of facility, social group, location and character of place. Attitudes stated by respondents are a poor predictor of behaviour, but cultural attitudes of whole communities are important. Implications for planning policy are drawn out.

Title: The Roles of Planning in Waterfront Redevelopment: From Plan-led and Market-driven Styles to Hybrid Planning?
Abstract: This paper delves into the different styles and roles that planning adopts in contemporary waterfront redevelopment. Traditionally, waterfront redevelopment practices have consisted of an array of plan-led and market-driven planning styles upon which the derelict areas of post-industrial cities have been transformed. Typical examples from North America and Europe generally tend to focus on the successes that these processes have generated in connection with large-scale and emblematic projects. However, less attention has been devoted to the efforts of a more recent generation of cities undergoing waterfront redevelopment, which often features different planning rationalities, forms of governance, and competing interests. While the precise character of this newer generation does not yet seem defined, the rise of planning practices that combine previous planning styles has been key in allowing these cities achieve their redevelopment aims. In adding to this emerging generation, this paper examines the nature of waterfront redevelopment processes in Aalborg, Denmark, wherein hybrid planning styles characterized bysituation-dependent and relational planning processes have increasingly substituted former practices. The paper concludes that planning adopts different roles depending on the determinants that qualify each redevelopment case, and that hybrid planning may be subjected to public interestdilemmas given its capacity to adapt to certain political and socioeconomic patterns.

Title: Scale and Public Participation: Issues in Metropolitan Regional Planning
Abstract: Public participation is as important at the metropolitan regional scale as it is at the neighborhood scale, yet most of the approaches to participation are grounded in experience or theory appropriate to the smaller scale. At the metropolitan regional scale, three issues—the magnitude of the spatial extent and population; inequalities of power; and the resources needed—demand that approaches to metropolitan regional participation are given special consideration. This paper explores these three issues through two case studies: one in South East Queensland and the other in Metro Vancouver. The examples help identify the difficulties of metropolitan regional public participation and draw attention to issues about effectiveness and capacity that dog debates about participation and democracy.

Title: Flexibility versus Certainty: Unsettling the Land-use Planning Shibboleth in Australia
Abstract: Within the planning literature, the distinction between regulatory planning and strategic spatial planning has exposed a recurring dichotomy that exists between the idea of ‘conforming’ (regulative certainty) and ‘performing’ (strategic flexibility) plans and planning systems. This paper critically examines the divergent trajectories of land-use policy and regulation in two Australian states, Queensland and New South Wales. This paper concludes by arguing that the flexibility/certainty dilemma is something of an artifice—a land-use planning shibboleth—that serves to distract professional and scholarly attention away from substantive issues such as how planning might better engender more sustainable urban settlements.

Title: Utilizing an Urban-Regional Model (MOLAND) for Testing the Planning and Provision of Wastewater Treatment Capacity in the Dublin Region 2006–2026
Abstract: Ensuring adequate provision of waste water treatment facilities in a rapidly growing urban area is a complex task. This article analyses the key legislation and planning frameworks which underpin the provision of new treatment facilities in Ireland and the extension of existing facilities as well as the mechanisms for mobilizing investment therein. Using the MOLAND model, the spatial distribution of three population projections for the Greater Dublin Region are examined and how this will impact on planned future capacity and defined catchment areas in two specific cases is discussed.

Title: Implications of Applying the Green Infrastructure Concept in Landscape Planning for Ecosystem Services in Peri-Urban Areas: An Expert Survey and Case Study
Abstract:
This paper investigates how planning experts understand the potential of integrating the concept of green infrastructure in planning practice in Germany. It develops a systematic approach for green infrastructure planning at the landscape scale. Research methods include a web-based survey among German planning experts and geographic information system analysis in the case study region of Hannover. Survey results suggest that the green infrastructure concept is not yet well known in planning practice, and that the potential benefits for planning lie primarily in communication purposes. An approach is developed here that sets priorities for green infrastructure development based on its potentials for creating synergies in the provision of ecosystem services.

Title: Planners’ Perceptions of Why Canadian Communities Have Too Many Plans
Abstract:
A survey of Canadian planners explored perceptions about factors contributing to the growing number of plans communities have adopted recently. The results suggest that practitioners see themselves as responding to current community concerns, as well as to requirements imposed by higher levels of government. Neoliberal practices that force compliance with accountability frameworks to enable transfer payments increase demands for new plans. Professional practices within planning have encouraged specialization—in fields such as urban design—that often leads to plan-making activities. With many plans to coordinate, and limited staff resources and time available, practitioners face increasing implementation challenges.

Title: Indigenous Resource Management Plans: Transporting Non-Indigenous People into the Indigenous World
Abstract:
The paper explores the degree to which Indigenous groups perceive that resource management plans they develop are able to help deliver outcomes they seek through formal planning systems. It does this by a case study of practice in Aotearoa New Zealand. Some Indigenous groups are concerned they are being encouraged to devote considerable effort to production of major planning documents for use in interaction with environmental agencies, yet in practice, such plans can appear to have a limited role in bringing about desired change or affecting wider planning processes. The research contributes a New Zealand dimension to this international debate.

Title: Non-Negotiable Developer Obligations in the Spanish Land Readjustment: An Effective Passive Governance Approach that ‘de facto’ Taxes Development Value?
Abstract:
Land Readjustment (LR) is often presented as an alternative ‘third way’ among public and private approaches to governance in urban development. Unfortunately, not much literature analyzes the effectiveness of LR, which depends on its ability to capture land value increases to finance public infrastructure. LR can capture land value increases with taxes and contributions to be levied after the readjustment, and/or with developer obligations. This paper focuses on how non-negotiable developer obligations function within the Spanish LR, and whether they succeed in delivering public infrastructure. The findings also feed into the debates about the effectiveness of public and private governance approaches and the limits of public value capture instruments.

Title: Planning with Preschoolers: City Mapping as a Planning Tool
Abstract:
The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child requires that children ‘have the right to be heard in matters affecting them’ (Article 12). Given that planning matters such as housing, transport, services and recreation provision affect children, it is necessary, therefore, for planners to engage with children. While planning has made considerable progress in working with older children, preschool children have been overlooked. Preschoolers are commonly seen as lacking the understanding necessary to comprehend the city scale. This paper presents a tile-based city-mapping method that demonstrates preschool children do understand city-scale features and relationships. Further, this method could be used in planning to advocate for and to engage with very young children in planning conversations.

Title: Beyond the Balm of Communicative Planning: Can Actor -Network Theory Insights and a More Agonistic Practice Help Unlock Creative ‘Post-Conflict’ Potential?: Towards a Renewed Research Horizon in Northern Ireland
Abstract:
In a situation, where tribal tram lines seem stuck in place this commentary suggests that an imaginative jolt taking into account recent thinking in planning theory may be warranted and go some small way to subvert the current state of stasis on the still contested terrain of Northern Ireland/North of Ireland. The alliance of procedural agonism and analytical actor network theory (ANT) offers, it is suggested, the augmented potential of a more conceptually diverse approach to planning in terms of conjuring with spatial imaginaries and airing latent outcomes, where communicative planning on its own has exhibited imaginative limitations.

Title: Regenerating Urban Waterfronts—Creating Better Futures—From Commercial and Leisure Market Places to Cultural Quarters and Innovation Districts
Abstract:
This paper investigates the contemporary issues in waterfront regeneration strategies. It evaluates and analyzes the legacies from past international waterfront projects through case examples and review policies, practices, trends and issues that pertain to waterfront regeneration. The impact of these within urban regeneration and urban cultural contexts are in turn considered. In this respect, the paper tracks the changes from typical festival-type market regeneration initiatives of the 1980s and 1990s to more culturally and entrepreneurial-focused projects evidenced today. Contemporary issues that stakeholders should consider when evaluating waterfront projects are considered. The paper gives recommendations for the direction of future waterfront development strategies. Conclusions promote the accommodation of more inclusive, socially responsible, culturally relevant, innovative, entrepreneurial and integrated regeneration objectives to ensure the future success of waterfront projects.

Title: Supraregional Partnerships in Large Cross-Border Areas—Towards a New Category of Space in Europe?
Abstract: Border regions in Europe not only face disadvantages but are also characterized by specific development potentials. At the moment supra-regional coalitions at different spatial levels are emerging in Europe. In addition, along Germany's western border four large border regions joined a demonstration project on supraregional partnerships in order to establish a new form of cross-border regionalization in economically strong cross-border regions and to gain higher visibility in Germany and Europe. This article reflects on indicators for the delineation of such cross-border regions and highlights that availability of comparable data on cross-border flows and interweaving is generally poor. However, specific characteristics, strengths and weaknesses of large border regions can be identified. This article finally draws conclusions on consequences for cohesion policy after 2013 and incorporates the German experiences into the debate on cross-border and transnational coalitions emerging in Europe.

Title: Governance Processes in Euregios. Evidence from Six Cases across the Austrian–German Border
Abstract: Cross-border regions emerged as early as at the start of European Integration; once the European Commission initiated the Community Initiative ‘Interreg’, however, they flourished. This article presents the results of empirical studies on the six Austrian–German Euregios established within the frame of this financial incentive and the accession of Austria to the European Union (EU) in 1995. The main questions tackled focus on (a) the capability of these relatively new cross-border regions to govern their own regional spatial development matters and to establish a region and (b) the factors influencing the failure or success of these cross-border governance processes. These relatively new Euregios are thought to be capable of governing their own regional matters. This is generally possible if certain factors are clearly manifested. Such factors include the existence of a strong need for action in addition to Interreg, established social relationships and internal institutionalization. Evidence was derived from the criteria-based analysis of the data compiled; data that consisted of internal documents, secondary literature, websites, press articles and qualitative interviews conducted between 2004 and 2006.

Title: Border Surfers and Euroregions: Unplanned Cross-Border Behaviour and Planned Territorial Structures of Cross-Border Governance
Abstract: The rise of cross-border relations is frequently linked to the decline of the nation state and the emergence of new forms of European governance. This article challenges some of the assumptions behind the policies stimulating regional cooperation along the national borders within the EU. It questions the assumption that regional cross-border governance is necessary for cross-border relations to develop. The article argues that the institutionalization of different territorial nation states with different social regulations not always hinders, but frequently stimulates cross-border relations. However, the territoriality of the EU planning practice of stimulating regional cross-border cooperation frequently hinders cross-border governance. The territorial administrative logic of cross-border cooperation and its governance drift away from the border, where cross-border behaviour is concentrated. The emergence of cross-border governance is further complicated while cross-border behaviour depends on national and international regulations outside the control of the midsized Euroregions. People living close to the border can sometimes profit from these differences. The fluid and fragmented groups of these border surfers are difficult to incorporate in the governance of territorial Euroregions. This article shows that unintended consequences of the EU planning practice of stimulating cross-border cooperation sometimes hinder the emergence of cross-border governance.

Title: Oderpartnership—A Long Way to Go Towards Cross-Border Spatial Governance
Abstract: This article analyses cross-border development, institutional setting and modes of spatial governance in the Oderpartnership, a new and progressing initiative between Germany and Poland. The analysis, using the ‘governance approach’, shows new structures and decision procedures as well as on-going deficits in stakeholder involvement, and misfits in both territorial governance and between territorial and functional governance. The comparison of the results with activities in the European region CENTROPE (Central European Region) gives rise to suggestions for future developments of institutional structures and governance. The article is based on an empirical study by Chinalski ( 2010 ), supplemented by the analysis of political statements and planning documents, and the discussions of a working group of the German Academy of Spatial Research and Regional Planning (ARL).

Title: Spatial and Environmental Planning Challenges in Amman, Jordan
Abstract: The objective of this paper is to identify the key spatial and environmental housing related challenges facing Amman and to consider them in the context of past, present and future planning policies. The paper reports on face-to-face, in-depth interviews conducted with planning professionals based in Amman, designed to explore their concerns regarding current planning issues and their proposals for addressing them. Information from local and international literature has been used to contextualize the findings. The study revealed that current planning legislation, poorly implemented, has resulted in uncontrolled land use, water shortages, increased energy consumption, road congestion, air pollution, and ineffective waste management. The research identified a range of policies proposed by planning professionals for ameliorating past errors and providing a more sustainable and healthy environment. These proposals include: an enforceable legal framework, updated planning and design regulations, private/public partnerships, the enhancement of public participation and greater professionalization of the planning sector. The paper concludes by benchmarking these against the aims of the latest planning policy document, Amman 2025.

Title: Evaluating the Role of the Project Course in Professional Planning Education and Its Influence on Planning Policy and Practice
Abstract: Project courses in graduate planning education are characterized by collaborative work among participants, including students, faculty and community members who act as clients and/or coaches. Drawing from empirical research involving focus groups with these course participants, this article examines the mechanics and outcomes of project-based learning in professional planning education and the relevance of this form of learning to planning practice and policy. The article concludes that project courses should better address the significant tension between the need to develop students' judgment skills and the desire among course participants for project outcomes to influence policy and planning practice.

Title: What Should Planners Do to Address Unethical Political Pressure?
Abstract:
This paper presents the case study of three planners who risked their jobs to oppose unethical political pressures in Kathmandu Valley, Nepal. It attempts to understand what was done by these planners to address those pressures and what lessons could we learn from their experiences. This research found that in a hostile political environment where unethical political pressure is strong, and voicing is of little help, unique actions of procedural planning (exit, deny-exit-and-expose, and defend), deontological in nature, may have to be adopted. If that is not adequate one should also consider de-communicating or manipulative actions, teleological in approach.

Title: Planning for retail change: a survey of municipal governments in Washington State
Abstract:
Effectively managing retail is essential for municipalities in terms of meeting land use planning goals, developing revenue sources through taxation, furthering economic growth and providing access to goods and services for residents. In 2013, a survey was conducted to examine the retail planning practices of all the 110 small- and medium-sized municipalities in Washington State. The online survey addressed data collection and analysis, land use, retail recruitment, inter-jurisdictional cooperation and evaluation. A large majority of respondents had retail planning goals in their comprehensive plans, yet only 30% dedicated staff for implementation. Jurisdictions would benefit from regional retail planning (especially in light of changes underway from e-commerce), yet the state tax structure places municipalities in competition.

Title: Planning for urbanization in religious tourism destinations: insights from Shirdi, India
Abstract:
This paper examines the urbanization process in religious tourism destinations using the example of Shirdi in India. Shirdi, a town dedicated to worship of a twentieth-century Saint Sai Baba, attracts more than eight million visitors every year. The paper explains how religious tourism economy drives rapid urbanization including demographic change and land-use conversion owing to the infrastructure needs of visitors. It is found that planning mechanisms including the conventional master plan approach have been ineffective in adequately responding to issues such as the proliferation of unauthorized commercial establishments, hotels, lodging and boarding houses; strained infrastructure; and environmental pollution that characterize urbanization in religious tourism destinations.

Title: Experiences of running negotiable and non-negotiable developer contributions side-by-side
Abstract:
In England, Since the 1970s, a system of negotiated project-specific agreements between local planning authorities and developers/landowners has evolved into the sole mechanism by which part of land value uplift ‘released’ by the grant of planning permission is captured by government. In 2010, in an attempt to simplify and speed up the planning process – negotiated planning agreements were regarded as time-consuming and a brake on development – the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) was introduced. Originally intended as a simple flat rate charge to replace site-specific planning agreements, CIL now sits alongside that mechanism so that developers pay CIL to help fund infrastructure provision in the locality, whilst planning agreements help mitigate the impact of their development and provide affordable housing. The experience of running a system of negotiated planning agreements alongside a non-negotiable infrastructure levy offers an opportunity to evaluate these policy shifts in order to assess their strengths and weaknesses and whether there are any wider lessons for international discussions of best practice in land value capture. Drawing on survey findings the paper considers the implementation of CIL alongside planning agreements, the revenue and expenditure patterns, and the impact of these combined land value capture mechanisms on development activity and, in particular, on affordable housing supply.

Title: An integrative spatial capital-based model for strategic local planning – An Israeli case
Abstract:
This paper presents an integrative model for strategic local planning based on the concept of spatial capital. The model bridges the gap between vision and reality by stimulating actions that are directed at mitigating challenges to the vision. The model uses the concept of ‘spatial capital,’ which is based on the accumulated assets and capabilities of a region. In addition, ‘development engines,’ which are alternative macrostrategies designed to help achieve the major goals set by the plan’s vision, are offered for use by the model. The developed model aims to achieve a better integration of the region’s overall capital resources.

Title: Blending Individual Tenacity with Government’s Responsibility in the Implementation of US Non-motorized Transportation Planning (NMT)
Abstract:
Human powered traveling is filled with risks. It takes individual tenacity to walk and bicycle in many US city streets. The danger of being injured or fatally killed requires responsible government action and a new repoliticization of the transportation priorities. This paper examines the risks involved in exercising the right to walk and bicycle and the authority’s responsibility to account for the health, safety and well-being of all individuals. I argue that the implementation of broadly agreed upon non-motorized transportation planning is critical to the success of public policies. The paper reviews concepts, prior policies and trends, remaining dilemmas and planning implications of US non-motorized transportation planning.

Title: The place of informality and illegality in planning education in Nigeria
Abstract:
This paper discusses the extent to which topical planning issues of informality and illegality are incorporated into the educational curricula in Nigerian planning schools. Given the scale and enormity of informal and illegal settlements in Nigeria and other African cities, these issues should be emphasized in the education and training of planning professionals. Yet, few curricula in Nigerian planning schools, including the Nigerian Town Planners Registration Council’s professional curriculum, incorporate informal urban issues. The paper recommends an educational interventionist approach based on recognition of the potential of indigenous knowledge as a means of producing critical and reflective planning graduates who possess the competencies to deal with contemporary settlement challenges. It presents the institutional landscape for planning education and the processes of planning curricular reform and accreditation with a view to revitalizing planning education in Nigeria.

Title: Town Centre Management: Outlook from Portugal
Abstract:
In the last two decades, the Portuguese Government has responded to the decline of centres of commerce. In this paper, we analyse the three different experiences of town centre management (TCM) schemes developed in Portugal since the turn of the millennium. The first two stages were developed using public sector initiatives and their impacts were limited. The third stage is still under way and is composed of private projects created by local business owners. Taking Lisbon as a case study for this third stage we conclude that these projects have become a pro-active means of intervention in Portuguese town centres.

Title: Embedding Artists within Planning: Calgary’s Watershed+ Initiative
Abstract:
Since 2011, artists have been embedded within Calgary’s Utilities and Environmental Protection department as part of the public art program Watershed+. In particular, artists are given workspaces alongside municipal staff to encourage interaction and new ideas. Watershed+ has led to innovative examples of public art that are meant to provoke thought about the local environment. Through interviews with artists and municipal staff engaged in the project, this paper explores the specific avenues through which the initiative has embedded artists within municipal planning. The paper also considers the transferability of the Watershed+ model to other cities.

Title: Use and Misuse of Indicators in Spatial Planning: The Example of Land Take
Abstract:
The use of indicators to assess the impacts of spatial planning policies has experienced a strong increase in the last decades, despite the difficulties to identify clear causality links in this discipline. The aim of this article is to critically reflect on the impacts of such a phenomenon on spatial planning policies and practices. In order to do so, it explores the issue of land take and how the European Community has set up a policy objective, based on an indicator, to try to tackle the phenomenon.

Title: Facilitation and Dialogue as Methods of Reflective Practice in Professional Education
Abstract:
Students may fear sharing their learning in public because classrooms are not traditional places where we teach skills needed for mutual understanding, such as facilitation and dialogue. This is a pedagogical challenge for planning, policy, and design fields because contemporary teaching requires collaboration among participants. We propose that learning to work collaboratively in the classroom has broader relevance for practice because it mirrors the learning that happens in organizations. To address this opportunity, we trained students in facilitation and dialogue. In this article, we discuss the design, implementation, and outcomes of this intervention.

Title: Formulating Contextual Building Regulations for Hill Towns of India: The Case of Shimla
Abstract:
Hill towns of India are best known for their salubrious climate, scenic beauty, picturesque setting and healthy living environment. Hill towns have been experiencing high pressure for development for the last three decades and as a result, are facing numerous problems related to new development that is contextually inappropriate and leads to deteriorated living conditions and poor environmental quality. Most of the issues of existing development are due to contextually inappropriate building regulations, which are formulated without consideration of the geoenvironmental and developmental context of environmentally sensitive hill towns. Moreover, no scientific and systematic approach is followed for the formulation of regulations. A new approach based on various intrinsic characteristics and factors is required for formulation of building regulations in the particular context to hill towns of India. The relevant issues related to building regulations are highlighted in this paper along with the identification of a more suitable building regulatory system for the specific context of hill towns. The article suggests a new approach for the formulation of building regulations for hill towns, based on various intrinsic characteristics and different factors, which are crucial for contextual development in hill towns.

Title:
‘Slipping through the Net’: The Impact of Incremental Development on the Built Environment of the Historic Coastal Town of Queenscliff in Victoria, Australia
Abstract:
Studies of the impact of development on the built environment often concentrate on areas of sudden change, where new constructions of a radically different scale, purpose or style are clearly seen to dramatically alter existing places. However, change is often more gradual. The cumulative effects of a large number of individual small changes are both extensive and often unrecognized until after they have taken effect, each individual development having ‘slipped through the net’ cast by planning authorities. The problem with this incremental process is that the result is often the erosion of the spatial and experiential qualities previously valued in that locality. As an example, this paper investigates four residential planning case studies in Queenscliff, a small historic coastal town in Victoria, Australia. Through analysis of their individual and cumulative impact on the neighbourhood character of this town, the paper explores the broader implications for the built environment of other Australian coastal towns and highlights the difficulties faced by all planners and residents trying to protect the character of their towns.

Title: Applying Historic Landscape Characterization in Spatial Planning: from Remnants to Remanence
Abstract: Historic landscape is formed from the ubiquitous traces and cultural associations which help to create a distinctive sense of place. Historic landscape characterization (HLC) is explored as a framework which focuses upon character and temporal processes, rather than isolated ‘snapshots’ of time and space, and as a means to engage with a wider spatial urban heritage. The paper reports on a period of ‘action research’ in collaboration with two local authorities in the north of England. The results highlight the way in which heritage ‘value’ lay not just in site-specific physical remains but also in the wider legacy of space and morphology. Interventions with the local authorities resulted in the uptake of HLC data in planning and land management policies, as well as planners' more general appreciation of the significance of time-depth, and how this could be supported through emergent techniques. Overall, an emphasis on the evidential value of landscape time-depth may be summarized as a shift in focus from ‘remnants’ to ‘remanence’.

Title: What about Plan Evaluation? Integrating Evaluation in Urban Planning Studio's Pedagogy
Abstract: Studio courses are one of the main pillars in urban and regional planning pedagogy. However, most emphasis is given to plan making and not to plan evaluation. This article examines an instructor's initiative at leading an advanced urban planning studio on plan evaluation. The methods included extensive literature reviews, analysis of course syllabi, and an examination of teaching methods and students learning outcomes. This article presents lessons learned and recommendations. The key finding is that teaching an urban planning studio on plan evaluation can help to acquire higher order skills, literacies and competencies.

Title: Reinventing Spatial Planning at the Urban Rural Interface: A Christchurch, New Zealand Case Study
Abstract: Peri-urban areas are characterized by rapidly changing relationships between rural and urban land uses and activities and present both conceptual and practical policy challenges. Traditional urban containment strategies are being supplemented by a range of alternative spatial strategies and styles of governance. New Zealand has experimented with a performative approach to planning, replacing conventional land use zoning with an effects-based resource management paradigm. Consequences for peri-urban landscapes are investigated and implications for other developed countries seeking to reform their planning systems are discussed.

Title: New Forms of Sub-regional Governance and Implications for Rural Areas: Evidence from England
Abstract: Across Europe, and beyond, there have been shifts towards reducing state intervention in ‘middle range’ governance spaces, such as regions, and attempts to devolve decision making to the most appropriate (local) level. Consequently, sub-regional scales of working have increasingly been promoted as a means of securing greater spatial equity and economic competitiveness. But whilst significant attention has been placed on the impact of new sub-regional governance arrangements on urban areas, there has been little consideration of the nature and effectiveness of such arrangements on rural areas. This article seeks to address this gap in knowledge through specific reference to multi area agreements (MAAs)—a new form of sub-regional governance in England—and their impact on rural territories. We conclude by considering the wider implications for rural spaces that may emerge as new structures of sub-regional governance are formalized.

Title: Learning City Regions: Theory and Practice in Private and Public Sector Spatial Planning
Abstract: In this article, it is argued that there are at least two different conceptual definitions of the learning region. The first sees them as localities that are spatially differentiated by capacities to collaborate and generate new economically valuable knowledge. The second sees them as an alternative policy prescription to overcome the persistent disadvantages of lagging regions. These different definitions lead to a lack of conceptual clarity in what empirical characteristics might count as a learning region. There is some agreement between them on the significance of knowledge networks as vehicles for the development of trust relations and the acquisition of tacit knowledge. In this context, the relationships between spatial planning and the development of soft and hard connectivity to facilitate networking are examined in the contrasting city-regions of Cambridge and Swansea. It is concluded that less favoured regions require demand-led increases in the proportions of innovative firms in order to accelerate their economic development based on learning region strategies.

Title: Indigenous People and the Miserable Failure of Australian Planning
Abstract:
Major changes in Australian law and significant research efforts have re-positioned Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as important actors in planning. Yet, this has barely penetrated the consciousness of the mainstream professional community. Current requirements for professional competencies and planning curricula fall well short of preparing planners to productively engage with Indigenous people. The profession itself barely acknowledges the significant changes advanced in Indigenous studies and planning, and the new imperatives. This paper details the contemporary position of planning practice in Australia with regard to Indigenous people and considers the changes required to more justly engage with Indigenous rights.

Title: Participatory Action Research in Affordable Housing Partnerships: Collaborative Rationality, or Sleeping with the Growth Machine?
Abstract:
Participatory Action Research (PAR) emphasizes working with communities to develop questions that are relevant to their needs, then co-generating research to answer these questions. Typically, PAR focuses on empowering marginalized communities. Transforming Housing is a community–university collaborative partnership based in Melbourne Australia, with researchers asking developers, government, investors and community housing providers what they need to know in order to provide more and better affordable housing, then collectively generating ideas. After three years, this article takes a reflective practice lens to examine both possibilities and pitfalls arising from PAR with the rich and powerful. The article concludes that collaborate research on affordable housing can lead to outcomes intellectually honest, sustainable beyond political cycles and capable of effecting positive change at both the local and the metropolitan scales. However, this form of collaborative research can be easily derailed by politics, and does not address underlying structural inequalities.

Title: Collaboration with Caveats: Research–Practice Exchange in Planning
Abstract:
Researcher and practitioner collaboration in urban planning is both critical to good outcomes and problematic to achieve in reality. Collaboration has the potential for new partnerships, better research problem definition, improved research design and greater impact on practice and policy. However, politics, stakeholder agendas and funding bodies bring pressures and constraints, for which research professionals require a broader set of skills to manage. We examine researcher–practitioner collaboration as part of an action research project on urban greening in Australia. Focusing on a stakeholder engagement workshop, we examine the mechanisms used to overcome barriers to research-practice exchange. We find overt consideration of common barriers to access and use of research when planning collaboration exercises can help facilitate more productive engagement, creating spaces for mutual understanding and generating shared objectives. However, we also find that efforts at collaboration challenge traditional research practices, involve tensions and caveats, and require a different mode of researcher engagement.

Title: What is a Healthy Sustainable Built Environment? Developing Evidence-Based Healthy Built Environment Indicators for Policy-Makers and Practitioners
Abstract:
Healthy built environments place people and communities at the heart of urban planning, encouraging decision-making based on human health, well-being and environmental sustainability. This paper describes the development of a set of indicators to assist in this endeavour—by translating and linking the research evidence base with policy-makers and other practitioners. The paper describes how the indicators were chosen, contextualized and subsequently structured to maximize useability for urban planners and health professionals working together to improve community health and neighbourhood sustainability.

Title: Introduction to Special Issue: ‘Translating Urban Planning Research and Pedagogy into Practice: An Australian perspective’
Abstract:
The six papers in this special issue describe a deep schism in the relationships between research, teaching and practice, with a focus on Australia. There are many reasons why translating urban research and pedagogy into practice has increased in importance in recent years. This introduction provides three negative factors—decreasing funding, relevance and voice—and two more positive factors—the rise of the ‘pracademic’ and increasing social media forms of interaction. The papers describe how the empirical and theoretical foci of planning research are symbiotic, presenting challenges and opportunities for linking practice, teaching and research into positive change.

Title: Integrated Education for Resilient Urban Adaptation: Wildfire Risk Reduction in Australia
Abstract:
Urban and regional planning education seeks, often through highly applied teaching, to develop students’ abilities allowing them to work meaningfully on emergent urban and regional issues. However, it is relatively uncommon that education itself develops alongside government policy and research agendas. This paper documents the development of a new tertiary wildfire management qualification prepared in partnership with planning and building agencies after the devastating 2009 Victorian wildfires. It is argued that the process of developing educational outcomes in this case paralleled an interactive and ongoing agenda of research, policy development and education that represents adaptive-ness facilitating resilience as learning and institutional change.

Title: Perspectives on Getting the Region Involved in its Spatial Strategy: Or, ‘I have no idea what you're talking about. I have not met anyone who knows what an RSS is’
Abstract: This article explores the experience of individuals, and public, private and community sector organizations in the formation of the Regional Spatial Strategy for the North West of England (RSSNW). Although the RSS and its successor, the Regional Strategy have now been revoked by the incoming coalition Government, the questions surrounding involvement in regional and sub-regional planning remain pertinent. The empirical research comprised a questionnaire survey, followed by interviews with stakeholders and regional government officers. Quantitative and qualitative data identify a number of frustrations and indicate that the quality of stakeholder experience is influenced by organizational status, location, sector, technological knowledge and relationships with the relevant planning authorities. The stakeholders who present the greatest challenge in terms of outreach and involvement appear to be individual members of the public and smaller organizations, dependent on volunteer time and energy, and this article focuses on their experiences. Whilst there is a range of lessons that can be learned from the RSSNW consultation process, and translated into improvements to consultation approaches, the discussion also suggests that there are systemic issues in consultation on issues of a regional nature with a relatively far-reaching time horizon.

Title: Planning as Managing Uncertainty: Making the 1996 Livable Region Strategic Plan for Greater Vancouver
Abstract: The concepts of planning and uncertainty are closely linked. The purpose of this research was to examine and learn from practice by applying the concept of planning as managing uncertainty to the making of a metropolitan plan for Greater Vancouver, Canada. The Livable Region Strategic Plan was prepared between 1989 and 1996. The story of this plan-making process is a dynamic interplay of expected and desired outcomes, actions and proposed actions, and uncertainties. This provides insights about the nature of metropolitan planning and about how to improve practice and planning outcomes.

Title: Limits to Growth: The Challenge of Housing Delivery in England's ‘Under-bounded’ Districts
Abstract: In the UK, the outward growth of settlements beyond their existing territorial boundaries has until recently been managed primarily through local negotiation between neighbouring authorities or by the coordination and impetus provided by strategic planning. The current overhaul of the planning system in England, with the removal of regional planning, has unlocked a debate over how ‘larger than local’ planning is undertaken and how cross-boundary cooperation is promoted. This paper reports, firstly, on planning professionals' recent experience of cooperating on major housing developments in three under-bounded authorities. Secondly, it reflects on the loss of the regional tier, and thirdly, it examines expectations of a more locally oriented planning system and its likely capacity to deliver on major cross-boundary projects.

Title: Measuring Building Adaptability and Street Vitality
Abstract: A long-standing urban design principle is that successful places exhibit vitality, being vibrant and diverse. This vitality depends on levels of economic and social success that sustain over time urban diversity including cafes, restaurants, delicatessens, bakeries, cinemas and galleries, grocery stores, pubs and clubs of varying sizes and types to suit individuals of varying taste, preference and socio-economic status. Accordingly, a successful public realm includes a complex ‘transaction base’ of activities. Since vitality occurs in physical, primarily human-made built forms and spaces, the qualities of physically permanent urban places influence vitality. However, the built form may eventually become inappropriate for its original purpose, the use redundant, or changes to demand may occur. Many buildings and spaces, specifically, are therefore refurbished or reused, but time, cost, inability, or environmental constraints associated with changes may impede physical change and therefore the ongoing maintenance and enhancement of places' vitality. Importantly, some physical structures facilitate adaptability better than others overcoming a decline of activity or the need for expensive adaptation or outright demolition and redevelopment.This research examines the suggestion that greater levels of place adaptability facilitates higher levels of ongoing vitality, due to the ability for structures to be used for a range of purposes over time, without the need for changes to physical form, particularly in the move to higher densities. The paper outlines a method for measuring vitality and building adaptability in parallel and reports the results of empirical research of key locations in Melbourne's Central Business District (CBD).It is argued using empirical data that adaptability, when translated to actual adaption, facilitates sustained vitality.

Title: Reshaping Public Participation Institutions through Academic Workshops: The ‘Gardens of Art’ International Urban Workshop in Wroclaw, Poland
Abstract: This paper recounts our experiences of community participation, student education and stakeholder learning in Poland, based on the ‘Gardens of Art’ (GoA) workshop that the authors and several other colleagues run in the summer of 2009. Twenty years after the fall of the communist regime the country's planning system finds itself gridlocked by impasses between planners and civic society resulting, as we argue, from the lack of effective formal and informal consultation mechanisms. The ‘Gardens of Art’ workshop offered an opportunity to demonstrate in practice how such impasses could be overcome in an incremental way which takes into account the local sensitivities about and expectations from public participation as well as the local understanding of the role of planning and planners.

Title: Conceptualization and System Design in the Monitoring of Urban Form
Abstract: Historically, humanity has congregated in certain places to benefit from a division of labour and scale economies. Yet, in this process, issues inevitably emerge surrounding urban form, understood as the physical configuration of the built environment. As settlements expand and technologies change, so do these inherent problems. Official responses are put in place to address them, thereby creating direct and indirect social costs and distorting pure market forces. Efficacious and transparent governance presumes accountability and some means of appraising these interventions. Thus, systems have been established worldwide to monitor physical changes in urban form against predetermined goals and objectives. Yet, many of these efforts have fallen short in terms of effectiveness, efficiency and equity and, whether acknowledged or not, they continue to do so. The research and policy focus should be upon the fundamentals – the conceptualization stage and design of such systems. In this article, diagnosis of common problems leads to six ameliorative strategies applicable in these early phases which could improve overall outcomes. Monitoring the physical features of the built environment is significant not only in terms of the logic and integrity of city planning but also for the welfare of urban populations. While equally important and challenging problems of implementation exist on the path to urban sustainability, they are left for another day.

Title: Territorial Politics, Devolution and Spatial Planning in the UK: Results, Prospects, Lessons
Abstract:
This article critically analyses the debates which have unfolded in the aftermath of the Scottish independence referendum of 18 September 2014 concerning the constitutional arrangements of the UK as a plurinational state and the internal governmental structure of England. The debates unfolding in the UK reflect and illustrate two central themes in planning, territorial development and public policy. First, they highlight the contested distribution of power across multiple layers of government in states with an inherited centralized pattern of governance that are now facing strengthening regionalist and nationalist claims. Second, they illustrate the linked growth in the demand for new governance and strategic planning arrangements in large metropolitan areas with fragmented administrative and institutional boundaries. The article first discusses what the outcome of the Scottish referendum (and its aftermath) means for planning in Scotland. It then turns to the debates on devolution in the rest of UK which were stoked in the wake of the referendum, looking at the planning implications of further devolution in Northern Ireland and Wales, and at the possible consequences of the various options currently being aired to solve the ‘English question’. Finally, ongoing debates on decentralization to regions and city-regions in England are briefly considered.

Title: Change of Thought: Findings on Planning for Shrinkage from a Regional Design Competition
Abstract:
Shrinkage or ‘no growth’ is expected to condition the long-term perspective of many Western cities and regions. Planning for shrinkage differs substantively from planning for growth and therefore calls for a change of thought in spatial planning. In our paper, we analyse how planning professionals responded to a ‘planning for shrinkage’ challenge in a regional design competition. We found that they fully adapted to the shrinking perspective, took a strategic approach, and promoted a leading role for local inhabitants. Collaboration with local inhabitants and entrepreneurs, creating new alliances, and timing emerge as key themes for planning professionals in planning for shrinkage.

Title: Bridging the Gaps between Impact Assessments and Resettlement Planning: A Case Study of Padma Multipurpose Bridge Project, Bangladesh
Abstract:
The traditional methodologies including spatial decision support systems have at times showed their ineffectiveness in terms of gathering, analyzing and incorporating diversified views of affected persons into resettlement planning. This ineffectiveness is in dealing with unstructured problems and uncertainty in analyzing alternative strategies. This paper therefore proposes an integrated methodology (combination of argumentative mapping and qualitative probabilistic networks) to counter these limitations. The new methodology was introduced in a large-scale infrastructure project to verify its applicability. Results derived from the study not only provide better insights into resettlement-related problems, but also indicate critical management options for desired objectives.

Title: Capacity for Stakeholder Participation in Recovery Planning
Abstract:
It is generally accepted that meaningful participation by a representative, well-informed public contributes to a better plan. We surveyed the lead official responsible for the development of recovery plans in a sample of US Atlantic and Gulf Coast counties to determine capacity for stakeholder participation. We report on a variety of engagement techniques that were positively associated with an increase in participation in recovery plan development. We also link increased participation with better plan quality scores in plan quality principles. Investing human and fiscal resources in participation can increase involvement in the planning process and improve recovery plan quality.

Title: The Redevelopment of Bus Depots: A Transaction Cost Economic Analysis of a Change in the Use of Land in Hong Kong
Abstract:
This is a pioneering study on bus depots based on a review of the English-language literature on or related to them, which is motivated by the prevalence of real estate projects using the land of the former depots. The review is followed by some conjectures about the transaction cost advantages of bus depot sites as a source of development land and examines the hypothesis that redevelopment projects using former bus depots, compared to other uses, in Hong Kong are more easily approved under the statutory planning system. The literature review found that bus depots have attracted much academic attention, although research angles were conditioned by different social perceptions of bus depots. The empirical results of this case study did not reject the hypothesis. The limitations and implications of the study are discussed.

Title: Planning Playgrounds to Facilitate Children’s Pretend Play: A Case Study of New Suburbs in Perth Western Australia
Abstract:
Playgrounds are important features of residential areas. Their design influences child play behaviour, particularly ‘pretend play’. With a growing number of young families moving into new suburbs, investigation into the extent to which pretend play is considered in playground design is an important planning issue. This is the focus of this research. Three playgrounds in Perth, Western Australia, were chosen as case studies, and intercept surveys of parents supervising children at these playgrounds and observation of the children behaviour were carried out. Park managers, landscape architects and community facilities managers from outer metropolitan councils were also interviewed. A key finding was that multi-purpose play equipment, particularly sand and themed playgrounds, best fostered pretend play. Further, while local government officers were supportive of pretend play, several factors limit the inclusion of pretend play features into playground designs, primarily risk management. Officers acknowledged that high-risk play was conducive to pretend play, but the need to reduce risk was the main consideration for playground design. The overall conclusion was that pretend play is neglected in playground designs, therefore greater education is needed of the value of pretend play in playground design needed, including the role of risk.

Title: Dealing with Conflict in Local Planning: Reflections from Australian Planners
Abstract:
Planners routinely deal with issues involving conflict, regularly engaging with people who may be upset, angry and at times aggressive. Yet planners are not conflict resolution specialists and their role is not necessarily to act as mediator. The level of conflict they experience can be stressful and challenging. This paper reports on interviews conducted with local government planners in Melbourne, Australia, in which they discuss their experience with conflicts and reflect on their preparation for this challenging aspect of their profession. The results indicate the need for more emphasis on training in a range of personal and professional behaviours within planning education.

Title: Spatial Planning in Ghana: Exploring the Contradictions
Abstract:
The purpose of this research is twofold: to explore the complexity of spatial plan preparation and implementation in Ghana using Kumasi as a case study; and second, to examine the contradictions of spatial plans and ‘actual development’ occurring in Kumasi. Using social science research methods (semi-structured interviews) and physical survey (land use plans), findings indicate that spatial planning in Kumasi is a bureaucratic process hijacked by urban planning agencies with limited involvement of urban residents. As a result, urban development is considerably influenced by spontaneous informal development patterns (i.e. self-organization). This phenomenon of self-organization is expressed in a context of uncertainty created by weak spatial planning system which encourages haphazard development. Regrettably, in Kumasi, self-organization is often overlooked by spatial planning agencies as they focused on rigid and exclusionary spatial plans. This paper advocates consideration and integration of self-organization processes in spatial planning efforts to respond adequately to the urban development challenges confronting Kumasi.

Title: An Evaluation of the Capacity-building Effects of Participatory GIS (PGIS) for Public Participation in Land Use Planning
Abstract:
Spatial participatory methods called ‘participatory GIS’ (PGIS) are intended to improve public participation for land use planning. An internet PGIS was implemented in Perlis, Malaysia, to examine the public capacity-building effects of PGIS. Two delivery modes (facilitated and self-administered) were evaluated. We found that PGIS significantly enhanced perceived public knowledge about place and land use planning while increasing spatial technology skills, regardless of implementation mode. The results indicate that PGIS can increase public capacity for participating in land use planning, an important finding for developing countries with historically low levels of public participation and low public awareness and knowledge of planning.

Title: Isochrone Mapping of Urban Transport: Car-dependency, Mode-choice and Design Research
Abstract:
Imperatives to develop more walkable, transit-oriented and low-carbon cities have accentuated the need to understand the performance and possible transformation of urban access networks. Within a framework of complex adaptive systems and assemblage thinking we develop isochrone mapping of urban transport access in four transport modes: walking, cycling, public transport and cars. These isochrones can be used to compare the range and area of urban access for each of these modes, over different time limits and for different times of day. Such mapping gears urban morphology to the phenomenology of urban transport and enables us to better understand mode choice. Through design research we can also test a range of possible design scenarios for infrastructure investment and show their impact on the isochrone maps. We conclude with a focus on the relations between car and public transport isochrones as a means of better understanding car-dependency and what we call the ‘Car/PT assemblage’.

Title: Parametric Design in Urbanism: A Critical Reflection
Abstract:
Parametric modelling run by the explicitly defined algorithms generating synchronically auditable dynamic forms and patterns, has become a prominent method especially in architecture. Though the use of parametric models has got wider in urban design, the critical reflection on the actual and possible application of the method in urbanism has fallen limited so far. The paper tends to relate parametric design with the contemporary understanding of urbanism with regards to the idea of design control in the the context of complexity. From this perspective, the actual performance of the model application in urban context is discussed with the renowned project of Kartal-Pendik Masterplan (Zaha Hadid Architects) in Istanbul, Turkey.

Title: Housing Type and Neighbourhood Safety Behaviour Predicts Self-rated Health, Psychological Well-being and Frequency of Recent Unhealthy Days: A Comparative Cross-sectional Study of the General Population in Sweden
Abstract:
This study aimed at analysing associations among housing type, neighbourhood safety behaviour, self-rated health (SRH), psychological well-being and unhealthy days in the general population. From 2004 to 2013, 90,845 Swedes completed a questionnaire about their health, number of days with poor health, psychological well-being, housing type, and whether they refrained from going out based on perception of neighbourhood safety. People not living in private housing and those who did not go out for safety reasons reported lower SRH and psychological well-being and higher frequency of recent unhealthy days and days without work capacity due to poor health.

Title: The Most Important Skills an Urban Planner Needs In a Developing Country; The Case of Iran
Abstract:
Differences in the context of developed vs. developing countries require different kinds of urban planning skills in each group. This paper intends to figure out the most important skills an urban planner should have in a developing country. A total of 341 questionnaires were filled by professionals, instructors, students, and graduates. The result shows that team work, research method and data collection, and technical skills are the most important skills at the undergraduate level, in Iran, while problem definition, analytical skills, and oral presentation are the most important ones at the graduate level. Managerial skills, at neither level, show any significance.

Title: Taking Stock of Neighbourhood Planning in England 2011–2016
Abstract:
Neighbourhood planning (NP) as enabled by the 2011 Localism Act in England has precipitated a considerable literature discussing its potential, limitations and likely shortcomings referenced against government rhetoric and the reporting of initial experiences of the process. This paper provides an overview of the current literature on neighbourhood planning and sets out how it has been received and practised across England drawing on empirical evidence. The extent of take-up and the experience of those involved in the first five years of neighbourhood planning is used to consider how community-led planning may be designed and used following operational principles of inclusivity, capacity-building and adding value.

Title: DIY Do’s and Don’ts: Limitations to Building University-Community Partnerships with Low Resource Communities of Color
Abstract:
Communities are becoming more diverse and urban planning programs must train students to work with a range of constituents. Little is known about the role of university-community partnerships involved in tactical urbanism as a method to revitalize low resource communities of color. This paper describes the planning process in a partnership between Florida State University and its surrounding community. We highlight the role of faculty and students in facilitating a studio project in Frenchtown implementing tactical urbanism. It also provides the voices of residents, City officials, and non-profit organizations. We conclude with recommendations to improve university-community partnerships through long-term engagement in surrounding communities.

Title: Vacant Shops in a Crisis Period – A Morphological Analysis in Portuguese Medium-Sized Cities
Abstract:
Vacant shops are an important problem affecting urban areas today, particularly in the wake of the economic crisis. Most strategies to analyse and deal with this issue are related to economic and financial variables. However, the amount of research associating store geography and performance with urban morphology has increased over the past decade. Thus, this research tests the hypothesis that specific morphological features characterize vacant retail sites. Using four Portuguese cities as test-beds and Kernel density analysis to plot spatial patterns, vacant shops were for example positively correlated with low segment betweenness and negatively correlated with block area.

Title: Vacant Industrial Buildings in Portugal: A Case Study from Four Municipalities
Abstract:
Vacant and abandoned industrial buildings are a symptom of urban decline linked to various problems. To adopt effective regenerating policies, a full understanding of vacancy is required. This paper presents a study where the extent and condition of the vacant industrial buildings located in four Portuguese municipalities were assessed. Results showed that 613 buildings located in urban areas and in industrial parks, occupying an area of 1.4 million square meters, were vacant. The research is helpful for adopting regenerative policies and for understanding general questions of the characteristics of industrial vacancy and policies that are used to address this problem.

Title: Public Knowledge of and Involvement with Metropolitan and Local Strategic Planning in Australia
Abstract:
Despite academic and practitioner debate surrounding public involvement in planning, little is actually known about the extent to which the public is aware of the planning process. The focus of this paper is the examination of the underlying, latent public knowledge of the planning system in Australia. This latent knowledge (or more accurately, the absence of this knowledge) emerges as a barrier to public involvement. This paper examines public perceptions of the importance of metropolitan and local strategic plans, knowledge of these plans, the main sources of this knowledge, and the extent to which the public is likely to become involved with strategic planning process. The paper concludes that despite large segments of the population viewing strategic planning as important, only a small proportion is actually aware of the plans themselves, while an even smaller proportion is likely to become involved in the planning process.

Title: Estimating Housing Infill Potential: Developing a Case for Floorspace Pooling in Ahmedabad, India
Abstract:
This paper demonstrates a rapid and inexpensive methodology (using minimal data) for estimating housing infill potential and develops the idea of residential floorspace pooling to deliver the infill. Estimates are based on surveying 11 km2 of the residential land in Ahmedabad. The analysis suggests that Ahmedabad has a huge potential for infill development, which could accommodate significantly more than its new housing requirements for 2031, within the existing footprint of the city. The second part of the paper discusses development of the idea of floorspace pooling as a tool to enable supply of the new housing infill floorspace in the market.

Title: Italian Urban Plans: Diversified Approaches and Methods for Assessing Their Quality
Abstract:
This article poses the difficult task of providing a brief overview of Italian urban planning, difficult to understand for foreign observers because each Region has different legislation and urban planning tools. The paper describes an original methodology that evaluates the quality of the approach differentiated as (1) ‘of the plan’ (reformist, participative, from the territory); (2) ‘in the plan’ (integrated strategic, sustainable); (3) ‘with the plan’ (conformative, methodological, recompositional, systemic-infrastructural); and (4) ‘beyond the plan’ (beyond governance methodologies). The paper also compares aspects of quality present in plans for large, medium and small Italian cities. The conclusions review factors of excellence that may be used in other international scenarios.

Title: The Role of Public Space in Urban Renewal Strategies in Rotterdam and Dublin
Abstract: Urban entrepreneurialism has been well investigated, but few publications focus directly upon the role of urban public space in renewal strategies associated with such. Although generally acknowledged as important, public space is often seen as supportive rather than a driving force of urban redevelopment. We compare two cases, Rotterdam and Dublin, in which, in contrast, public space was regarded as essential to urban renewal. We show how municipalities have been active in improving public space with a view to attracting private investment. Additionally, these cases underscore the importance of the local context in examining entrepreneurial planning agendas in different cities.

Title: Assessing Local Government Capacity to Manage and Model Military-Induced Growth in Eastern North Carolina
Abstract: Military expansion can profoundly affect surrounding communities, which are often rural and have low capacities for accommodating rapid growth and associated impacts. Urban growth models that can assist community planning are often complex and costly. We describe a case study in a rural, coastal region of the American state of North Carolina that has been affected by rapid military expansion. The study used informant interviews and analysis of land-use plans to contextualize a review of urban growth models that fit local needs and capacities. Our findings suggest a method for selecting modeling tools that match community-specific capacities and needs that can be applied in other regions experiencing rapid, military-induced growth.

Title: Can Community Empowerment Reduce Opposition to Housing? Evidence from Rural England
Abstract: This paper explores the potential benefits of giving local communities a greater role in planning for housing—an approach being pioneered by the government in the UK. That new government has embarked on an ambitious programme of reform, including dismantling the ‘top-down’ system of planning for housing and replacing it with a ‘bottom-up’, community-driven approach. This paper explores the implications of this new approach to ask whether it can be effective in reducing opposition to new housing. It draws upon evidence taken from a study into opposition to small-scale housing schemes in rural England, and broader literature related to opposition to development.

Title: Apple Pie–Spinach Metaphor: Shall e-Democracy make Participatory Planning More Wholesome?
Abstract: Despite claims that planners' attitude towards public participation has not always been enthusiastic, there have been genuine attempts to devolve powers through participation—although seldom with success. In this paper we discuss several major attempts to improve participation in Sweden including case studies of e-participation. Despite great expectations on information and communication technologies, Swedish experience indicates that the status quo between planners and people remains.

Title: Approaching an Ideal: Using Technology to Apply Collaborative Rationality to Urban Planning Processes
Abstract: The paper examines web-based three-dimensional immersive technologies in the context of collaborative rationality combining Habermas' ideal speech conditions with insights from Dewey and complexity science to form the approach: diversity, interdependence, authentic dialogue. This provides a theoretical basis for examining the role of advanced web-based technologies in the collaborative planning process. The open neighbourhood approach and the program Second Life were employed to introduce immersive technology in a planning process by a Tufts University team working in collaboration with officials in the Town of Acton. The findings suggest that, designed correctly, web-based three-dimensional tools can foster collaboration and facilitate negotiated agreements.

Title: Cross-cultural Communication: ACritical Competence for Planners
Abstract: Since the 1970s tools have been developed to help increase awareness of the negative effects of stereotyping. Cross-cultural communication, using the five habits, is a more recent and practical approach. First developed in the legal field, it is being used to equip planners to operate at the client/planner interface and help deliver decisions that are sensitive to social differences. It is proving relevant to planning given the multi-dimensional nature of the skills needed to be an effective practitioner. This paper explains the habits and reflects on how they have been applied in the education of undergraduate planners and point to areas worthy of future research.

Title: Fear: An Underexplored Motivation for Planners’ Behaviour?
Abstract:
This paper contributes to the small but growing body of literature on the factors that influence the behavioural nature of planning practice. In this contribution, we specifically focus on fear and fearfulness as emotions that can be seen as having a significant bearing on the emergence of norms of practice. Using case-study evidence from England, we draw upon work in behavioural psychology to argue that in some contexts fear can become a natural reaction for planners; and that helping to create a more positive atmosphere for planning decisions—a space for hope—is something we should all consider important.

Title: Journey to Work Travel Outcomes from ‘City of Short Distances’ Compact City Planning in Tübingen, Germany
Abstract:
In the southern German city of Tübingen, a ‘city of short distances’ planning model has been applied to try to reduce the need to travel through the co-location of employment space with housing—a style of compact city planning reportedly influenced by Jane Jacobs’ principles for urban vitality. However, until now the impact of this mixed land use model on work travel patterns has not been systematically researched. This paper reports on empirical research that has explored the implications of the model for employing organizations and employees, through qualitative key actor interviews and quantitative data obtained by surveys of employees in short distance neighbourhoods and those in two control neighbourhoods. The findings show that short distance planning appears to reduce work travel distances and encourage sustainable travel patterns of work travel, although the role of residential self-selection in producing these patterns remains unclear in this preliminary study.

Title: Urban Design as a Collective Enterprise: The Challenge of Housing Development in Memphis (TN, USA)
Abstract:
This paper uses three theoretical frameworks to critically reflect on the outcomes and implications of an urban design process stemming from an action research planning experience. The process, focused on the re-development of a public housing complex in the Vance Avenue Neighborhood (Memphis, TN, US), was carried out by a community university partnership—the Vance Avenue Collaborative—playing a fundamental role in trying to re-orient planning practice and research in the city of Memphis. The paper offers some general insights to reflect on the role of urban design as a public and civic endeavor supported by collective interdisciplinary research.

Title: Living Indigenous Heritage: Planning for Māori Food Gardens in Aotearoa/New Zealand
Abstract:
Indigenous peoples always struggle to ensure planning practice is culturally inclusive in identifying and protecting heritage structures and sites. Planners struggle to understand the cultural and spiritual values inherent in heritage and to develop appropriate ways to protect what is often an intangible cultural heritage (ICH). Using traditional Māori food gardens as an example of ICH and a kaupapa Māori research methodology, this paper explores how plans and planners in New Zealand can better recognise and protect Māori cultural heritage, of the type represented in the ICH heritage of food gardens.

Title: Is It Just a Guessing Game? The Application of Crime Prevention through Environmental Design (CPTED) to Predict Burglary
Abstract:
Crime prevention through environmental design (CPTED) aims to reduce crime through the design of the built environment. Designing out crime officers (DOCOs) are responsible for the delivery of CPTED by assessing planning applications, identifying criminogenic design features and offering remedial advice. Twenty-eight experienced DOCOs from across England and Wales assessed the site plan for one residential development (which had been built a decade earlier) and identified crime risk locations. Predictions of likely locations were compared with 4 years’ police recorded crime data. DOCOs are, to varying extents, able to identify locations which experienced higher levels of crime and disorder. However, they varied widely in the number of locations in which they anticipated burglary would occur.

Title: Towards an Integrated Assessment of the Cultural Ecosystem Services in the Policy-Making for Urban Ecosystems: Lessons from the Spatial and Economic Planning for Landscape and Cultural Heritage in Tuscany and Apulia (IT)
Abstract:
Scientific literature points out the need for the heritage conservation disciplines to influence the research on the Cultural Ecosystem Services (CES) in urban ecosystems. However, there are still some unclear points in this linkage that our study investigates through a comparative analysis of the integrated planning tools for the landscape and cultural heritage produced by Tuscany and Apulia, the most advanced Italian regions in this field. The paper encourages a debate on the techniques and indicators related to the cultural capital that the policy makers and researchers should consider when implementing the CES assessment for the urban ecosystem planning.

Title: Teaching Land UseTransport Interactions in Italy: Towards an Interdisciplinary Pedagogy?
Abstract:
Integrating land use and transport planning is seen as a key approach to pursue more sustainable mobility patterns, but it requires an interdisciplinary pedagogy for those who will be working in these fields: architects, spatial planners and engineers. This paper systematically examines – using syllabi analysis and teacher questionnaires – around 200 academic degree programmes offered by Italian universities, to verify how and to what extent this topic is taught to future professionals. The findings show that the land use–transport issue is still given little consideration in degree programmes, but interesting pedagogical experience based on different course formats can be found.

Title: Major Wind Energy & the Interface of Policy and Regulation: A Study of Welsh NSIPs
Abstract:
This article examines how sub-national policy is applied in consenting decisions for major wind energy infrastructure. The study focuses on the Welsh tier of governance and the perspective of the public, building on existing work on ‘territorial politics’ and public participation. It looks explicitly at the regulatory stage of decision-making, which is critical to understanding multi-level governance contexts for energy infrastructure. Two cases of ‘Nationally Significant Infrastructure Projects’ (NSIPs) in the UK are assessed and findings show how conflict is fuelled by the ways in which different tiers of policy and regulation interact.

Title: The Role of Social Infrastructure in Achieving Inclusive Liveable Communities: Voices from Regional Australia
Abstract:
What makes liveable communities inclusive is an important question for planning research, policy and practice, yet one that has not received significant attention. This article explores this question through the lived experiences of two spatially marginalised groups – people with disabilities and seniors. Using the photovoice technique, the findings visually and textually demonstrate the importance of universally accessible social infrastructure in enabling inclusion and active participation in a community in regional Australia. The findings suggest that inclusion should be a central focus of liveability, along with co-design processes with people experiencing spatial marginalisation to achieve inclusive liveable communities.

Title: Disentangling the Governance Configurations of Strategic Spatial Plan-Making in European Urban Regions
Abstract:
This paper is aimed at assessing and disentangling how territorial governance configurations influence contemporary practices in strategic plan-making in 14 European urban regions. The findings allow us to distinguish three dominant practices: i) plan-making shaped by consensus building and multilevel government cooperation; ii) plan-making shaped by the involvement of profit-oriented actors and negotiations, and iii) plan-making shaped by consolidated planning practice. To truly grasp plan-making practice, it is necessary to scrutinize who rules and who is ruled while negotiations are unfolding, as well as the extent to which private actors’ interests influence how spatial development goals and strategies are defined.

Title: Decentralized Implementation of Flood Resilience Measures – A Blessing or a Curse? Lessons from the Thames Estuary 2100 Plan and the Royal Docks Regeneration
Abstract:
This article presents a case study on the implementation of the Thames Estuary 2100 Plan in the Royal Docks, a regeneration project in the East of London. On paper, the Thames Estuary 2100 Plan advances the shift from traditional flood control to flood resilience, because of its long-term horizon, estuary-wide approach, and emphasis on floodplain management. In practice, however, we identify three frictions between vision and reality: a lack of local ownership of the plan, a lack of clear guidance for floodplain management, and limited capacities with local authority. These frictions suggest an ongoing ‘public-public divide’ in decentralized governance.

Title: Planning Interventions: Urban Bias, Social Reform and the City
Abstract:
The planning profession struggled for urban amelioration, but avoided confronting the conflict between the redistributive public interest and the goals of industrial capital, resulting in a devaluing of social planning in the US. This article classifies social biases in planning and relates them to sanctuary cities. In the current crisis, launched by the federal government’s hostile rhetoric to immigrants, the planning apparatus is forced to confront what it has sought to avoid – planning for the just, inclusive city that has to reckon with the presence of some of the poorest urban populations.

Title: Is Semi-Discretionary Design Review Wieldy? Evidence from Seattle’s Program
Abstract:
This article explores the question of how design guidelines supporting deliberative design review can be said to be wieldy, a concept explored by considering how frequently, faithfully, and prescriptively they are used. A content analysis of development applications from Seattle’s (WA) review program lends support to the specification of guidelines around considerations of street frontage, architectural concept, massing and open space. However, the results indicate that only a concise list will be used as intended. In response, it is recommended that processes distinguish between core and supplementary guidelines, or that these are nested and articulated to address overlapping design challenges.

Title: The New Spatial Planning Act in Taiwan: A Messy Shift from Economic Development-Oriented Planning to Environmental Conservation-Oriented Planning?
Abstract:
On 18 December 2015, the spatial planning bill was finally passed by the Legislative Yuan in Taiwan. That was a special moment for planning community and authority since they had anticipated this moment for more than two decades. However, this is not the end of the story. On the contrary, the battle between the economic development promoters and environmental conservation supporters just starts. The Act introduces several new changes to secure its goal of nationwide sustainable development, but the introduction also raises some tensions. This article reviews the tensions and their socio-political context, and gives some suggestions to the Taiwanese government.

Title: Understanding the Planning Challenges of Brownfield Development in Coastal Urban Areas of England
Abstract:
Coastal settlements, whether rooted in port, defence or tourism economies, have experienced considerable economic, social and environmental change over the last 30–40 years, which has often resulted in building obsolescence and vacant land. Brownfield sites, especially on the waterfront, are strategically valuable, but can be constrained by costs of treatment, the fragmentation of available plots, complex landownership and declining property values. This paper addresses the need for a better understanding of the characteristics of brownfield land in English coastal communities and the challenges faced by planning in the regeneration of these sites through an analysis of the National Land Use Database and a survey of Heads of Planning Service. There is a plentiful supply of brownfield sites on the coast, but one-fifth requires remedial treatment and over half is concentrated in the ‘coastal challenges’ cluster. Economic circumstances and frequent policy shifts have impeded the redevelopment of brownfield land on the coast and forced greater pressure onto greenfield sites.

Title: An empirical investigation of stalled residential sites in England
Abstract:
Drawing upon a national database of unimplemented planning permissions and 18 in-depth case studies, this paper provides both a quantitative and qualitative analysis of the phenomenon of stalled sites in England. The practical and conceptual difficulties of classifying sites as stalled are critically reviewed. From the literature, it is suggested that planning permission may not be implemented due to lack of financial viability, strategic behaviour by landowners and house-builders, and other problems associated with the development process. Consistent with poor viability, the analysis of a national database indicates that a substantial proportion of stalled sites are high density apartment developments usually is located in low house value areas. The case studies suggest that a combination of interlinked issues may need to be resolved before a planning permission can be implemented. These include; the sale of the land to house-builders, renegotiation of the planning permission and, most importantly, improvement in housing market conditions.

Title: Youth Master Plans as Potential Roadmaps to Creating Child- and Youth-friendly Cities
Abstract:
Communities across the globe are focusing on the needs of young people and their families in an effort to create child- and youth-friendly cities. In an attempt to become more child and youth friendly, over 40 communities in the United States have developed youth master plans (YMPs), as of 2009; however, our understanding of these plans is limited. To broaden this understanding, this research employed a multiple-methods approach, including an online questionnaire, plan analysis and semi-structured interviews with key community informants. Findings show that YMPs often focus on collaboration among community entities and youth participation, yet include only general normative statements regarding the physical environment. Furthermore, urban planners do not typically take the lead in development of YMPs, and, in some cases, are not involved at all. To inform and improve future YMPs, this paper recommends greater focus on the physical environment, particularly in relation to safety, access to nature and sustainable transportation.

Title: Putting Localism in Place: Conservative Images of the Good Community and the Contradictions of Planning Reform in England
Abstract:
Over the past 5 years, the UK Coalition and subsequent Conservative governments have sought to develop an agenda of localism. Recent research has evaluated how this has played out in practice. This article takes a different approach, interpreting how the language of community and place in English politics has been mobilized in reforms of the country’s planning system. We do this by tracing how conservative traditions of political thought and imagery of place were used to advance localism. This reveals a range of contradictions within the English localism agenda and highlights the wider political challenges raised by attempts to mobilize the affective and morally charged language of the local.

Title: Let the Citizens Map—Public Participation GIS as a Planning Support System in the Helsinki Master Plan Process
Abstract:
Current public participation methods are laborious, reach few participants and are ineffective at gathering usable information for planning. This situation leads often to mistrust and dissatisfaction in the process and outcome. This article identifies the critical conditions for meaningful use of public participation GIS (PPGIS) tools to support the making of master plan in Helsinki. With PPGIS tools, residents’ insight of their living environment can be reached and utilized along the planning process. The results are divided to conceptual and empirical points. Whereas the conceptual points emphasize better understanding of the locus of the PPGIS tools in planning process, the empirical findings reveal new ways to study how residents’ perceptions align with the plan proposal. Though new tools, data and analysis can support representativeness, independence, early involvement, influence and transparency, planners and residents need more understanding of the benefits of these tools. The study indicates that though planners found the collected data and the analysis valuable, they still lacked the skills and institutional motivation to use the data effectively. The results point out that when PPGIS tools can be integrated to the mainstream planning practices, the tools have the ability to evolve to a more comprehensive participatory planning support system.

Title: Plan Evaluation: Challenges and Directions for Future Research
Abstract:
Plan evaluation is a well-established part of the planning canon. While this subject has received considerable attention from planning scholars in recent years, plan evaluation methods are not commonly used in practice. This paper examines the factors that contribute to the underuse of plan outcome evaluation in local government planning practice. The concept of evaluation is explained, and the relationship that exists between program evaluation and plan evaluation is explored.

Title: Urban Planning and Environmental Criminology: Towards a New Perspective for Safer Cities
Abstract: At a time of ever-increasing urbanization, research consistently indicates that crime and the fear of crime are key concerns for society and that safety is a vital feature of what is considered a high-quality sustainable environment. This paper critically inspects the theories and evidence from the field of environmental criminology and interrogates some of the safety assumptions underpinning planning policy in the UK, the USA, and in Australia, particularly those policies promoted by New Urbanism. It is argued that planning professionals need to consider and understand this new perspective for safer and sustainable cities, rather than relying on assumptions that are not supported by any systematic evidence.

Title: Regional Planning and Resilient Futures: Destination Modelling and Tourism Development—The Case of the Ningaloo Coastal Region in Western Australia
Abstract: The Ningaloo Destination Model (NDM) is an approach that engages key stakeholders in a more participative learning process, with the implications of potential future changes clearly set out for all to see. The case study for this approach is a region in Western Australia that is home to a globally significant fringing coral reef. This paper focuses on how the process and use of the NDM project builds regional resilience to cope with disturbances to socioecological systems in the context of regional planning. The various stages of the development and use of the NDM are discussed. The paper concludes that the NDM needs more than good data and reliable modelling to contribute to regional planning; it also needs to encourage the characteristics that build regional resilience through the modelling process and model use.

Title: Strata Title: Towards a Research Agenda for Informed Planning Practice
Abstract: The form of property ownership known as strata title in Australia, and as condominiums in the USA, has flourished in many countries for half a century. In Australia, strata title developments—especially large-scale, higher-density, mixed-use inner-city developments—are thought to be an important approach contributing to the future efficiency and sustainability of metropolitan areas. Yet research into the planning implications of strata title is piecemeal, leading to a situation where future potential issues and problems are being ignored within current metropolitan planning. Informed by a critical evaluation of the Australian situation, we present a research agenda for generating explanatory, normative and procedural knowledge on strata title for planning.

Title: Government Transport Land-use Planning and Development by Implicit Contract for Franchised Buses and Ferries in Hong Kong, 1933–1972
Abstract: As a contribution to policy research on monopolies in planning for public utilities and the role of the state in ordering the coordination of land use and transport in a market economy, this paper evaluates a couple of hypotheses informed by the Coasian economic concept of an implicit contract. There have been public subsidies to franchised bus and ferry companies in Colonial Hong Kong in the form of concessions in kind with spatial land-use transport implications. The hypotheses were evaluated by a comprehensive archive survey and documentary analysis of the clauses in relevant franchise documents, Crown Leases, government memoranda, and expert writings on buses and ferries. The findings revealed that there was no real land price subsidy provided for within or outside the franchise or lease documents, but there were substantial indirect subsidies during the study period. These were provided not only in terms of the free provision of bus terminals and piers, but also their planned combination on government land, as well as the strategic positioning of bus terminals in newly-developed government housing estates and new towns. The land-use public transport planning strategy shaped the urban structure of Hong Kong prior to the takeover of the companies by developers. The critical role of the government vis-à-vis developers as a super landlord is discussed.

Title: Urban Planning, Development and Non-communicable Diseases
Abstract: September 2011 will see heads of state and government from around the world gathering at a United Nations high-level meeting to discuss the problem of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) for the first time. The decision to hold such a meeting demonstrates both that NCDs have finally been recognized as a global health threat and that national leaders are willing to take action to prevent, or at least mitigate, the burden of chronic diseases. In light of the upcoming high-level meeting, this paper focuses on the specific and unique, but under-used and under-appreciated, role of spatial planning as a means of tackling NCDs and the need for reconnecting with public health.

Title: Influences on Public Participation in Watershed Planning: Why is it still a Struggle?
Abstract: Participation is a hallmark of the planning process but it can be a challenge to engage a broad constituency when a topic is complex and lacks a sense of urgency. This is often the case with watershed-related planning efforts. This paper conducts a post-mortem of an unsuccessful watershed planning participation effort in two counties in Ohio. The participant pool was surveyed regarding how venues, processes, and meeting topics influence their decision to participate. The survey also explored general participation habits as compared with the watershed planning participation experiences. Key factors that respondents felt influenced their participation are personal knowledge of the meeting topic, immediacy of the topic, perceived influence in the process, and meeting time convenience. Further responses highlight the importance of local relationships in a collaborative process.

Title: Ireland’s New National Planning Framework: (Re)Balancing and (Re)Conceiving Planning for the Twenty-First Century?
Abstract:
This article examines the recent evolution of national spatial planning in Ireland, focusing on the recent publication of National Planning Framework (NPF) in 2018. The NPF is Ireland’s second national strategy for spatial development and represents a further shift away from traditional land-use regulation towards broader-based strategic spatial planning. In this commentary, we reflect on official perspectives regarding the role that planning should perform in a period of significant social, economic and environmental change and how planning policy conceives of ‘balance’ between competing priorities in the ‘public interest’. We contend that this ‘balance’ is weighted heavily towards development enablement.

Title: From Operational to Aspirational? Business Improvement Areas (BIAs) in Mid-Sized Cities
Abstract:
Since their advent in the 1970s, Business Improvement Areas (BIAs) have played a central role in downtown renewal in cities around the world. With wide-ranging mandates to market, promote, beautify and advocate on behalf of their membership, the activities of each BIA reflect the diverse needs of their respective downtowns. While the number of BIAs continues to grow, little attention has been paid to their role in urban affairs in the context of mid-sized cities, and this paper seeks to address that gap in the literature.Using a local economic development (LED) framework that highlights the role of community allies in urban affairs, this paper explores the role BIAs can play partners to downtown revitalization within the context of a series of mid-sized cities in a designated growth area in Ontario, Canada. Findings from this research show that incremental improvements are occurring in the downtowns of these mid-sized cities, and that BIAs, through a combination of operational activities and broad-based coalition building, are contributing to downtown revitalization by pursuing a downtown-first agenda. However, as the scholarship continues to evolve around downtowns, this research explores the limitations of merchant-led associations and offers recommendations that re-envision the BIA model to meet the challenges of revitalization in the downtowns of mid-sized cities.

Title: Mobile Participation in Urban Planning; Exploring a Typology of Engagement
Abstract:
Public participation innovations, such as the mobile participation trial analyzed in this paper, are increasingly adopted in hopes of deepening and broadening participation. The impact of the source of the engagement on the type of participation occurring in these types of arenas remain largely unexplored. To address this question, a typology derived from the literature on public participation is used to explore the engagement in the trial. The results show how explicit opinions, local knowledge, and creative input are expressed in the material depending on whether the discussions are initiated from the top-down or bottom-up.

Title: Examining the Insider/Outsider Dimensions of Local Food System Planning: Cases from Dunedin and Christchurch New Zealand
Abstract:
Diverse local and ‘alternative’ food networks offer a variety of context-specific responses that aim to challenge the global, conventional food system. These community-based interventions are often supported by local governments, who are attempting to engage with food issues through local-level policy and governance arrangements, most notably through food policy councils. In New Zealand, such practices are in an emergent phase and there is relatively little research on food system planning, despite the emerging engagement with food at a local level. Drawing on case studies from two New Zealand cities (Dunedin and Christchurch), this research explores the role of different actors, including planners in mediating tensions between community and government and identifies potential points of interventions for planners in attempts to transition towards more resilient and just food systems.

Title: Setting the Standard for Green Infrastructure: The Need for, and Features of, a Benchmark in England
Abstract:
Green infrastructure is an essential component of health and sustainable places. The quality of green infrastructure often represents a missed opportunity to achieve this. This paper presents a review examining how built environment assessment systems evaluate the quality of green infrastructure. This was used to develop proposals for a new benchmark, which were examined by experts in terms of the demand, scope and operation. The findings suggest that current systems are not providing a robust assessment of green infrastructure and that a benchmark for green infrastructure would overcome some of the challenges associated with its planning, design and delivery.

Title: All Talk No Walk: Student Perceptions on Integration of Diversity and Practice in Planning Programs
Abstract:
This paper summarizes findings from a nationwide survey of degree-seeking urban planning students regarding the climate for diversity within their degree programs. This study examines urban planning student experiences in the classroom, with communities, and with professionals as they are trained to become planning practitioners. From May to October 2016, we surveyed 451 students and conducted in-depth interviews with 27 students. Our results show planning students are concerned that ‘the talk that we talk’ does not always match ‘the way that we walk’ – the values that we espouse in the classroom do not always translate into connecting these values to planning practice, particularly when engaging in diverse communities. These accounts reflect a pedagogical gap in planning education, which continues to be an area in need of improvement as the communities served by planners continue to become more diverse. Our findings offer implications and recommendations to reconcile these barriers for urban planning institutions.

Title: Improving Participation in Green Infrastructure Planning
Abstract:
Green infrastructure is a strategic planning concept that is able to address environmental, social and even economic problems by supplying a variety of benefits for society. Especially in times of public financial crises and spatial transformation, it is important to ensure that those services are high quality to guarantee that they will provide the intended benefits by integrating stakeholders’ knowledge and experience into green infrastructure planning. Active stakeholder participation leads to legitimate and informed future planning that accounts for society’s needs. This paper investigates participation approaches of six green infrastructure investments in Belgium, the UK, Germany and the Netherlands. The major aim is to explore how and when participation should take place to optimize participation in green infrastructure planning. This is achieved by surveying the stakeholders involved and conducting stakeholder discussions to identify their views on the participation approaches employed and their integration into the planning process. We found that stakeholders were generally satisfied with how they were involved but desired a broader and more tailored mix of approaches. Furthermore, we found several Arnstein gaps, which lead us to conclude by suggesting recommendations that are helpful for successful participation in green infrastructure planning.

Title: ‘Test Driving’ a Financing Instrument for Climate Adaptation: Analyzing Institutional Dilemmas using Simulation Gaming
Abstract:
Urban physical public infrastructure is a frontline defense mechanism to manage and mitigate climate-related impacts. Market instruments are often cited as possible means to spread risk and reduce financial burdens on the public sector. The authors argue that existing research tends to focus on the technical issues of instruments and neglects considering institutional dynamics that may enable or constrain local market-based financing mechanisms. In this article, three core dilemmas (values uncertainty, planning horizon, and indirect benefits) are used to analyze the responses of practitioners to a possible financing instrument. The findings indicate that the practitioner’s responses to tax increment financing were largely shaped by the adaptation dilemmas and not the characteristics of the instrument per se. By mapping the dilemmas onto whether they would recommend it, participants imposed a financial barrier on climate adaptation investments. The authors conclude that a key imperative in the design of policy instruments is to pay attention to the congruency of informal institutions at the ‘street level’ in order to be in-step with the current sociopolitical conditions. The findings also point to four key attributes that a local market-based instrument would need to be aligned and responsive to the Dutch planning and development context.

Title: Spatial Data Usage, Spatial Thinking and Spatial Knowledge Generation: The Case of Planning Practitioners in Arequipa, Peru
Abstract:
Spatial thinking and spatial knowledge generation in decision-making are still not mature fields of study in planning research, despite these being crucial elements in addressing the issues of the twenty-first-century city. This article contributes to their understanding by exploring their interrelationships with spatial data usage. Through storylines, it analyzes the arguments that planning practitioners offer in support of infrastructure-led decisions in Arequipa (Peru), before and after spatial data usage. The article concludes that spatial data usage improve spatial thinking to different extents, yet suggests aligning spatial data generation and the inclusion of GIS-based spatial analyses with the spatial knowledge needed by routine planning practice.

Title: The Informal ‘’ Institutional Culture of the Malaysian Housing Development Industry
Abstract:
There has been limited understanding of the relationship between private developers and the housing delivery mechanism in Malaysia. This paper seeks to bridge the research gap by analysing the social relationships and informal institutions embedded in the Malaysian housing development industry. Empirical data were collected for Kuala Lumpur and Johor to compare and contrast developers’ views and their working relationships with government departments. Informed by various arguments that ‘guanxi’ can reduce transaction costs and supplement/complement the formal legal regime, this paper examines the ways developers are engaged in such transaction cost reduction activities. Policy and theoretical implications of the informal cultural practice in the housing development industry are then drawn out.

Title: What Determines the Substantive Influence of Public Participation? An Investigation of Planners’ Views on Conditions for Participatory Practices in Denmark
Abstract:
Conditions that enable successful public participation have received increased attention in research and practice. This paper contributes with an empirical study of the conditions that determine the substantive influence of public participation processes. We explore a list of conditions in a Danish context through a survey of practitioners’ perceptions of practice and through interviews with practitioners. The findings support the growing criticism of the widespread notion that the choice of methods is a fundamental determinant of the success of public participation. The findings lead us to propose a more prominent role of contextual conditions in practice.

Title: Design, Disability and the Planning Challenge: The Reality of Living with Severely Disabled Children
Abstract:
This paper investigates the effects of the speculative and standardized house building model dominant in the UK on the residential experience of families with severely disabled children and evaluates the barriers to the provision of inclusive accommodation through the planning and development process. Unlike previous studies on the theme, this paper draws together, compares and contrasts, within one location, the experiences of families that include severely disabled members, local planners and housing developers. The results indicate that, as a result of the deficiencies of mainstream housing design and delivery, real and substantial stress can be created for families with disabled children. Moreover, it was found that institutional and attitudinal inertia restricts communication between developers and planners in responding to the needs of these families. It is argued that evidence based on experiential knowledge of the needs of disabled groups is a critical first step in meeting their requirements for appropriately designed housing.

Title: Debating Temporary Uses for Vacant Urban Sites: Insights for Practice from a Stakeholder Workshop
Abstract:
Temporary land uses have become the focus of much debate within academic and policy circles in recent years. Although the international literature contains numerous case studies of temporary interventions, little attention has been paid to the dynamics of the interactions among different stakeholders. This paper reports on a stakeholder workshop that used a participatory research approach to collectively define the issues facing those interested in the potential of vacant urban sites. The paper outlines the goals, design and evaluation of the workshop and concludes with a discussion of suggested lessons for practice that emerged from the workshop sessions.

Title: The Development of Green Infrastructure Policy in the North West Region of the UK 2005–2010
Abstract:
This article examines the development of green infrastructure policy-making in the North West region of the UK 2005–2010, through the articulation of three phases. Drawing on a conceptualisation of discourse coalitions, it is argued that this instance of the green infrastructure policy-making process became a way of bringing together various stakeholders around a shared goal. The activities that took place and how green infrastructure was conceptualized ensured that a range of policy interests was represented, and consequently, a stable discourse coalition was formed around economic priorities.

Title: What Future for Green Infrastructure Planning? Evaluating the Changing Environment for Green Infrastructure Planning Following the Revocation of Regional Planning Policy in England
Abstract:
The revocation of the regional tier of planning by the UK Coalition Government in 2010 removed the established framework of strategic planning in England. Using a case study of green infrastructure (GI), this paper examines whether revocation has negatively impacted the development of environmental, and specifically GI policies and practice. It questions if changing government policy narratives have hindered advocacy and subsequently the delivery of GI and the extent to which it has been able to position itself as a mainstream approach in planning. Using the development of the RSS in England, and the North-East and East of England sub-regional GI strategies (areas of significant policy development), as case studies, the paper presents an ex-ante evaluation prior to revocation of the evolution of GI policy at a regional scale, alongside an ex-post assessment (2011–2015) of its continued growth within sub-regional policies. The paper concludes that whilst RSSs provided a promotional forum, that revocation has not negatively impacted upon GI development, as its advocates have facilitated a supportive policy-implementation environment which has led to the development of more integrated approaches in planning praxis.

Title: Experimental Coastal Land Reclamation: Qianhai as a Case Interpreted
Abstract:
Informed by a Coasian transaction cost paradigm enriched by the concept of Schumpeterian innovations, this paper discusses the advantages of using experimental coastal reclamation of the sea to build new cities with a policy for fostering innovations. A new development area at the margin of Shenzhen in China, Qianhai, is used to demonstrate how urban expansion by urban sprawling in a megacity can be avoided by reclamation of marginal land as analytically less costly than along intra-marginal land and more suitable for experimentation for the type of megacity concept that Qianhai aims to achieve.

Title: Governing the Circular Economy in the City: Local Planning Practice in London
Abstract:
There is interest in the circular economy as a framework for transition from a linear take-make-dispose model of production and consumption, to a circular model which decouples economic growth from resource consumption. However, there is limited understanding of how that applies to the city through governance lens. This paper examines evidence from 28 municipalities in London to unpack the ‘government’ and ‘governance’ of circular economy in the city. It examines the ‘governmentality’ of circular economy in planning practice and reflects on what austerity localism and scalar politics might mean for the planning and governance of circular economy in cities.

Title: Spatial Planning and the Traditional Settlements Management: Evidence from Visibility Analysis of Traditional Settlements in Cyclades, Greece
Abstract:
Traditional settlements constitute part of the cultural heritage and their preservation is an important priority, acknowledged in the present study as a multidisciplinary, multi-scale and complex issue. This study quantifies the visual impact of traditional settlements in Cyclades that arise from structures which are considered to create pressure on the island landscape and negative visual impact. These structures disrupt the landscape continuity; they are both incongruous with the dominant local scale and incompatible with the forms and shapes that are appropriate on the Cyclades islands. This paper examines these issues in the context of the management of insular traditional settlements within the Greek spatial planning framework.

Title: Redesigning the Downtown of an Expansive Sunbelt City: The Phoenix Case
Abstract:
Non-motorized traffic safety is a major public health concern, especially in the sprawling sunbelt cities of the United States. Phoenix is ranked quite high on the number of pedestrian and cyclist crashes in North American cities. This article analyses non-motorist safety incidents in downtown Phoenix. Non-motorist safety concerns were addressed by examining crash types in order to suggest adequate safety treatments. We also demonstrated the use of a countermeasure framework for higher crash locations denominated hotspots. Our findings indicate that it is important to implement a combination of countermeasures to reduce the high number of non-motorist crashes in city centers.

Title: Coastal Adaptation Planning in Fairbourne, Wales: lessons for Climate Change Adaptation
Abstract:
Adaptation to climate change is emerging as a central objective and policy frame for coastal communities. This paper examines recent climate change adaptation efforts in the UK, centring on the case of Fairbourne, Wales. The village is facing the long-term prospect of flooding and inundation due to the impacts of sea level rise. The recent Shoreline Management Plan for the area has recommended realignment of the coast and eventual decommissioning of Fairbourne. The paper draws on a qualitative research methodology of interviews, policy review and observation to narrate the case and provide key insights and lessons for planners working in environmentally vulnerable coastal settings and managing climate adaptation processes.

Title: Social Learning in Transnational Spatial Planning Processes: An Analysis of the ‘V4+2’ Cooperation on Spatial Development
Abstract:
Social learning can offer a useful lens to analyse multi-actor cooperation processes and their outcomes. In this paper, a conceptual framework based on learning theories is applied to a recent transnational spatial planning process in Central Europe to analyse how the cooperation agenda was shaped, a joint strategy developed, and to understand the possible policy effects of this process. The findings allow a reflection on the potentials of, and challenges for, multi-actor cooperation on spatial planning in large regions covering several countries.

Title: Municipal Budget Management and the Generation of Urban Sprawl. A Case Study of the Lombardy Region (Italy)
Abstract:
The paper describes one of the Italian sprawl drivers: the circle triggered by the use of urban charges to solve budget problems. From 2005 to 2018, Italian municipalities could use urban charges to solve normal budget problems: they could plan new urban areas to provide new urban charges, new building and services, and they could manage old and new services at the expense of normal budget. The planning of unnecessary urban areas was effectively influenced by budget problems. The paper illustrates this issue during a period without open data sources in order to improve land management and environmental sustainability.

Title: Disability, Terror and Safety in the City: Charting Individuals’ Spatio-temporal Encounters with Counter-terrorism Measures in Birmingham, UK
Abstract:
This paper responds to recent calls for further work on vulnerable people’s experiences of official planned attempts to create safe cities that are based on ableist assumptions. Go-along interviews elicited from people with cognitive, physical or motor impairments, together with interviews taken from built environment professionals are used to highlight the diverse ways in which differently disabled individuals encounter official efforts to create safe, secure urban spaces and suppress terrorist threats in one UK city centre (Birmingham). Focusing on individuals’ embodied spatio-temporal experiences provide wider lessons for planners and urban stakeholders about the decision-making processes people adopt during urban crises.

Title: Understanding and Planning for Freight Movement in Cities: Practices and Challenges
Abstract:
Planning for freight presents a perpetual challenge for governments. Understanding freight flows has attracted increasing research attention, though such knowledge can be difficult to translate to address problems in planning practice. This paper critically assesses the challenges of understanding and planning for urban freight movement, especially with reference to achieving more sustainable outcomes. In doing so, we elucidate guidance for broader analytical and policy approaches suited to meeting diverse public interest objectives. We review the literature with specific reference to the nature of policy problems, while collating existing conceptual knowledge for broad urban land use types.

Title: The Role of Stakeholders in Improving Management Practices of Urban Green Infrastructure in Southern Ethiopia
Abstract:
The study aims to examine the role of stakeholders in the management practices of urban green infrastructure (UGI) in Southern Ethiopia. Key informant interview, focus group discussion and household survey were used to collect data. Majority of the respondents confirmed that beautification, shading and cooling effects and storm water management are the main reasons to develop UGI. However, there is a significant variation in the participation of stakeholders in managing UGI. This is due to lack of awareness, policy and poor coordination. The study recommends an interconnected decision-making activity is needed to ensure the sustainable improvement of the urban environment.

Title: Negotiating Integrated Land and Transport Development: A Simulation Gaming Approach to Innovative Value Capture Mechanisms in China
Abstract:
Land value capture is considered as a promising strategy to finance transit-oriented development (TOD). This paper aims to provide a better understanding of the potential to apply negotiable developer obligations (NDOs) for TOD projects in China through two game experiments simulating negotiation processes. Based on the conceptual framework of three fundamental dilemmas, our findings indicate that (1) value capture-based contributions to TOD often ‘compete’ with other public goals; (2) despite lacking clear regulation, some cities have successfully introduced informal practices to acquire developer contributions; and (3) NDOs seem less feasible under the current conditions of the anti-corruption campaign in China.

Title: Fatalism in Co-evolutionary Urban Planning: Experiences from Infill Planning in Finland
Abstract:
While urban planning must deal with complexity, considering planning as an activity with uncertain outcomes is challenging. This paper explores how urban planning may both proactively motivate development and adapt to change. We view such planning as co-evolutionary, and conceptualize it further by utilizing Cultural Theory, and building on a case study of infill planning in Oulu, Finland. We conclude that while the three active rationales from Cultural Theory can motivate urban development, the fourth, passive, fatalistic rationale, is also needed in order to acknowledge an uncertain future. Further, we discuss three challenges in using fatalism as a planning rationale.

Title: Realizing the Potential of Autonomous Vehicles
Abstract:
The rapid development of autonomous vehicle technologies has led to widespread interest in how and when they will affect mobility, lifestyles and the built environment. Despite the potential for bringing about significant changes, city and transportation planners have yet to fully incorporate autonomous vehicles in their planning activities. An online survey of planners found considerable awareness of, as well as agreement about, the potential effects of these developing technologies. To fully realize the potential benefits of autonomous vehicles, however, planners will need to be more proactive in including autonomous vehicles in their plans.

Title: The Proximity Puzzle in Cross-Border Regions
Abstract:
This paper studies cross-border cooperation at the US-Canadian Cascadia region by implementing an in-depth analysis to examine the role of cognitive proximity as a proxy for favourable conditions for cross-border economic interaction (measured as co-publications, co-patents and networking). The analysis deploys primary and secondary data sources analysed with qualitative and quantitative methods. Based on the results, the case study region demonstrates what is termed as a ‘proximity puzzle’: relatively low levels of economic interaction despite high cognitive proximity across the border. The paper concludes by discussing, based on survey data, the barriers that impede cross-border economic interaction.

Title: Impact of the Public Management Model on the Implementation of Urban Regeneration Policies: Evidence of the Case of the Basque Country, Spain
Abstract:
Since 2000, urban regeneration programmes in Spain have progressively involved greater integration and complexity. As a result, the management of the regeneration process has taken on greater significance. One of the determining factors has been rehabilitation companies. The paper examines the impact of their characteristics on the implementation of the programmes. A comparison of the 22 companies in operation in the Basque Country of Spain shows that more integrated approaches are considerably greater in those municipalities in which the companies are operating. Supra-municipal organizations are more effective than municipal ones in small-scale poly-nuclear urban systems such as the Basque Country.

Title: State Garden Shows as a Format for the Development of Small and Medium-sized Towns. The Case of Gießen 2014, Germany
Abstract:
State garden shows in Germany are an option that is mainly used in small and medium-sized towns, they seem to be a relatively ‘handy’ format. They are, however, concerned not only with the development of recreational space but also with built infrastructure, and trigger controversial local discussion about their economic benefits and social costs, with assessments by the actors involved diverging considerably. They are also an indication of a town’s planning culture. This paper presents general findings on the over 150 state garden shows that have been held in Germany and a detailed consideration of the 2014 state garden show in Gießen.

Title: The Use of Contemporary Planning Labels in Professional Practice – A Michigan Example
Abstract:
Trendy labels frequently appear in planning literature. How do planning practitioners relate to this terminology? Do practitioners feel the need to rebrand their work to stay relevant? This article summarizes results of a survey of professional planners in Michigan. The aim was twofold: 1) to see how practitioners valued and used a set of principles in their work and 2) the extent to which they were branding their work using trendy terms. The results suggest that practitioners do not ?nd the need to express their work through trendy concepts, suggesting a gap between planning theory and practice.

Title: Demystifying Academic Writing in the Doctoral Program: Writing Workshops, Peer Reviews, and Scholarly Identities
Abstract:
This article discusses a course at The University of Texas at Austinwhich sought to facilitate doctoral students’ development of scholarly articles while simultaneously fostering their sense of scholarly identity. The article was co-authored by the instructor and two cohorts of doctoral students based on immediate as well as retrospective learning outcome assessments. The social constructivist approach to writing pedagogy fostered students’ scholarly identities and demystified the publication process. However, efforts should be made to maintain the practice of writing, sharing, and reviewing and the course should more explicitly foster critical reflections on the relationship between writing, scholarly identity, and knowledge production.

Title: Co-Opting the Streets of Liverpool: Self-Organization and the Role of Local Authorities
Abstract:
Within the context of austerity politics, there is an increasing emphasis on regeneration initiatives that originate in civil society itself. While community-led contributions are supported by local authorities for their self-organisation and empowerment of communities, ownership of the planning process allows the local authority to retain power over the community, and subsequently co-opt initiatives in the interest of their own wider regeneration plans. However, given communities often lack resources, the involvement of the local authority is often necessary to ensure future development. This paper argues that this dynamic places community-led schemes at risk of co-optation, meaning plans are community-outsourced rather than facilitating the potential of self-organisation by communities.

Title: Negotiating Density and Financing Public Goods in Vancouver and New Taipei City: A Development Rights Perspective
Abstract:
This article examines two density-based value-capture mechanisms – community amenity contributions (CAC) in Vancouver, Canada, and transfer of development rights (TDR) in New Taipei City, Taiwan – that planners use to finance public goods. To understand the differences in the design of the mechanisms, negotiating dynamics, actors involved, and types of public goods financed, we propose three perspectives on development rights: absolute ownership, bundle of rights, and public asset. We find that the public asset perspective underpins Vancouver’s CAC, whereas in New Taipei City’s TDR development rights are treated more as a commodity, a concept rooted in the absolute ownership perspective.

Title: The Forgotten (Practical) Side of School Safety: What Do Clery Reports Say about CPTED and Crime on College Campuses?
Abstract:
Following incidents of school violence, common discourse often neglects the role of practical approaches, such as CPTED, to safeguard campuses. This study utilized a content analysis of U.S. Clery Act Safety Reports from a national, randomly drawn stratified sample of n=100 American universities to determine the extent CPTED techniques were implemented. Findings suggested that 1) CPTED use is limited; 2) two CPTED techniques, access control and activity support, were most common; 3) institutions with higher crime rates tended to have implemented more CPTED measures; and 4) CPTED use appears to be related to less severe campus crimes. Implications are discussed.

Title: Defining the Creole City by Walking: The Case of La Réunion
Abstract:
This paper presents exploratory work to understand the characterisation of the ‘Creole city’ inLa Réunion, through an analysis of three renovated districts. The purpose is to inform urbanrenewal programmes so that they take better account of local lifestyles and needs. Theresearch on representations and symbols involves a method to collect and analyse data thatcombines in situ situations and a strong day-to-day approach, namely, walking. This method,that may be used elsewhere, reveals the functioning qualities of traditional Creole cities as anurbanity that is adapted to its environment, and based on proximity and soft transport modes.

Title: Reconstruction and Deconstruction of the Foundation of South Australia as a Nineteenth-Century Strategic Planning Process and How it Might Compare with Current Planning Practice
Abstract:
This article does three things. It reconstructs the narrative about the foundation of South Australia in the 1830s as a strategic planning process. It then deconstructs that analysis to explore the issues it addresses and the outcomes. Finally, it reviews the South Australian experience to see if there are valid comparisons to be made with current practice and what lessons it might offer in that regard. In doing that it briefly reviews one present methodology of strategic planning most akin to that followed in South Australia, and one strategic planning exercise that could learn from it.

Title: Reviewing Implications of Urban Growth Management and Spatial Governance in the Global South
Abstract:
Urban containment policies have been applied in the global north as a strategy towards creating compact urban development. In the south the urban growth management discourse have been part of planning practice for the past three decades. There are however several reasons, both structural and political that have contributed to its limited success. The purpose of the research is to review practices of growth management in the south in an attempt to find lessons from the implementation of different mechanisms. The study focuses on the challenges of growth management mechanisms and its associated spatial governance approaches.

Title: Making Competitive Cities in the Light of the Meta-SWOT Tool: A Case Study of Tehran, Iran
Abstract:
While there is a growing body of scholarship on regional competitiveness, little attention has been paid to the planning methods that can pursue this objective. Public planners are mainly relying on conventional methods that have come under increasing criticism. This study aims to introduce Meta-SWOT as a novel planning tool in urban and regional studies. Meta-SWOT provides competitive and realistic strategies for planners. It systematically tries to present strategies rooted in internal resources and capabilities while acknowledging the challenges posed by the external environment. Nevertheless, it has several limitations that should be considered when applying to urban and regional planning.

Title: Using Eye-Tracking to Understand Human Responses to Traditional Neighborhood Designs
Abstract:
New research in brain and cognitive science is changing how we understand how people perceive and experience the built environment, offering key opportunities for urban planning, urban design, and architecture. Sixty-three college students looked at different scenes of New York City public buildings in a set up with an eye tracker in front of a monitor displaying images. Half of the images had design characteristics exemplary of traditional neighborhood design (TND) (like narrow streets, complex facades, and bilateral symmetry). Subjects tended to show greater eye fixation on building fenestration in TND environments, as opposed to the non-TND environments.

Title: On the Potential of Social Media Data in Urban Planning: Findings from the Beer Street in Curitiba, Brazil
Abstract:
Social media makes available vast amounts of data for cities to study urban dynamics. Curitiba, Brazil, is well-known for its urban planning. Recently, the city announced a plan to create a Beer Street to promote local craft beers and support the brewing industry. We use this real case study to explore the potential of social media data in the urban planning context. Analysing data from the Untappd application and combining it to official datasets, our results show how social media data could help to guide the decisions regarding the Beer Street and can potentially become a strategic urban planning tool.

Title: Governance of Conservation Area Boundaries: Agents and Agencies in Decision Making
Abstract:
Conservation areas are a very common and popular planning tool for UK local planning authorities; but the basis on which related decisions are made often remains obscure. This paper provides an example of the changes in the decision-making framework for conservation area boundaries from the 1970s to the 2010s in Cardiff, Wales. It sheds light on the governance documents of the local planning authority and reflects on the parts played by different types of planning-related agencies. Based on this example, the paper is able to examine the relationship between regeneration and conservation in a typical British city since 1970s.

Title: Tensions between Urban Heritage Policy and Compact City Planning – A Practice Review
Abstract:
The ‘compact city’ is generally considered to represent a sustainable urban form. However, transformation of urban sites as consequence of compact city planning potentially conflicts with heritage interests. A reading of a selection of scientific articles in land-use and heritage journals, supplemented with thematic plans, indicates that there is a need to bridge the gap between urban heritage policy and planning for the compact city. When challenged by strong pro-development partners to present convincing alternative perspectives, specialised heritage competence would benefit from skills within land-use planning and vice versa. Disciplinary and sectorial barriers need to be crossed.

Title: Strategies of Integrated Interventions in Greece: Tools and Governance Schemes
Abstract:
The integrated approach to urban development consists is an EU policy direction, which was incorporated into the institutional framework by many Member States. This paper aspires to explore, through a critical presentation, the principles and aspects of spatial governance practices of the main tools of Integrated Urban Intervention in Greece. The research concerns governance synergies, both horizontally and vertically, and more specifically, the schemes, mechanisms and tools through which the coordination of the implementation and funding of actions may be achieved. The critical presentation of the governance of a relevant program applied in Germany for nearly two decades is expected to contribute to this effort.

Title: Game On: Exploring the Effectiveness of Game-based Learning
Abstract:
Game-based learning has emerged as an innovative learning technique that can increase student motivation, emotional involvement and enjoyment. Our study examines the effectiveness of game-based learning in planning education. Specifically, we explore the impact of gamification on planning students’ perception of learning, engagement and teamwork. Two lectures in an undergraduate planning course were delivered using two different methods of teaching (one traditional lecture-style, one game-based). Feedback was gathered through an online questionnaire and semi-structured interviews. Results show that students favored and were more engaged in the game-based lecture. Finally, we contend that gamification is particularly well suited for planning education.

Title: Is Zoning the Solution to the UK Housing Crisis?
Abstract:
Although housing crises are rooted in both demand-side pressures and supply-side blockages, perceived regulatory impediments to building new homes are the softest target for policy reform. Critics argue that the English planning system’s case-by-case consideration of development applications hands excessive power to existing homeowners, who regularly veto those applications, thereby generating uncertainty for the development sector, impeding supply, and amplifying wealth inequalities. Drawing on interviews with planning and development actors, this paper explores the potential of rules-based zoning, in which consultation is restricted to plan-making and compliant applications proceed ‘automatically’, to address the supply sub-component of the housing crisis.

Title: From Disaster Risk Construction to Disaster Risk Reduction: Exploring the Agency of Urban Land-Use Planning in Chile
Abstract:
This paper explores how the existing urban land-use regulatory framework and its associated planning practices in Chile have contributed to disaster risk construction in urban areas. It uses Actor Network Theory as an analytical framework, and in-depth interviews and focus groups to analyse the existing urban land-use regulatory framework and its innovation process. Drawing on the knowledges and perception of practitioners, and the revision of a case study, the paper unpacks the agency of the existing urban land-use regulatory framework in enhancing disaster risk, and how its rigidity and the obstacles for its modification, prevents the advance towards disaster risk reduction.

Title: Infrastructure Planning in Queensland, Australia: Risk Appraisal of High Voltage Overhead Transmission Lines by Property Developers and Homeowners
Abstract:
Installation of essential infrastructure can challenge not only its specialized supply professionals but also property developers and homeowners. This article investigates these stakeholders’ appraisal of high voltage overhead transmission lines (HVOTLs) in Queensland, Australia. It first assesses risk surrounding developers’ operations and then relays the chief perceptual models applying to the public at large. Investigated next are the two subject groups’ outlook on HVOTLs, their orientation to several categories of infrastructure, and developers’ tolerances when prospecting for sites near electricity facilities. Planning pointers permeate the analysis and discussion of results, leading to the summary and conclusions to the paper.

Title: Planning for Natural Gas Pipelines in Ohio: Governance and Other Complexities
Abstract:
In addition to crossing state lines, networks of natural gas transmission pipelines in the US cross multiple local jurisdictions, each potentially with its own local comprehensive plans and zoning ordinances. Under federal preemption, these interstate pipeline projects present new challenges to local land use planning. We examine aspects of the planning process of a portion of an interstate natural gas transmission pipeline in Ohio. The goal of this research is to explore how local planners navigate the interstate pipeline planning process under the limitations they face due to the regulatory framework in which these projects exist.

Title: A Critical Review of Grounded Theory Research in Urban Planning and Design
Abstract:
A systematic review of grounded theory method (GTM) research in urban planning and design produced 42 articles using quality assessment guidelines from Hutchinson et al. Most articles did not apply the key tenets of the GTM, and their results were generally descriptive themes and narratives or thick descriptions, instead of abstractions or theories, as is the GTM goal. Accordingly, better quality GTM research in urban planning and design requires a proper understanding of the nature, characteristics, and tenets of the GTM, as well as recognition of its various versions and constraints as a qualitative method.

Title: A Collaborative Methodology for Local Strategic Planning: Insights from Four Plans in Portugal
Abstract:
Planning practitioners have been challenged by the demand for more open, effective, and transparent processes. But the collaborative practices that have tried to materialize these goals often yield unsatisfactory results. While this can partly be attributed to various forms of vertical coordination, achieving these different, and sometimes conflicting, goals also poses inherent methodological challenges. This paper discusses an innovative approach to these issues applied in four strategic plans in Portugal. It focusses on the way in which the methodology tried to give practical meaning to the so-called ‘communicative turn’ in planning, while addressing some of the shortcomings associated with it.

Title: The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) in Rural Land-use Planning in Poland: A Case Study of Zawidz Commune
Abstract:
The most important document in spatial planning in Poland is the local plan. The article considers the possibility of using the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) method to select the location of local plans in cooperation with experts. The results of the study show that the use of the AHP method makes decisions made by local authorities credible. The paper demonstrates the utility of the tool for deciding where local plans should be developed. The case of Zawidz commune is used to illustrate how the priority of the land-use plan-making process can be decided using the indicators and methodology.

Title: Between a Rock and a Hard Place: Investigating Planners’ Learning Experiences in Amsterdam’s Fragmented Governance of Property Development
Abstract:
Fragmentation in terms of institutional complexity and a multitude of governance actors involved in property development changes the nature of planning practice. I investigate how planners in Amsterdam, who operate as project managers, learn from interacting with property industry actors, and how their learning experiences travel beyond the project scale to instigate wider institutional change. Planners in Amsterdam struggle as the distance between municipal policy directions and development practices ‘on the ground’ grows. I argue that putting a human face on these governance intricacies and incorporating private sector considerations in literature on institutional change in planning becomes increasingly pivotal.

Title: The Concept and Measurement of Community Well-Being: Lessons for Planners
Abstract:
Community well-being is considered a fundamental element of planning practice. However, it is not clear whether, and how explicitly, well-being is addressed in community (i.e. towns or cities) strategies or policy documents. If so, is theconcept used implicitly or explicitly? We reviewed policy documents from the 20 largest individual communities in Canada. Our findings suggest considerable difficulty with translation of data on well-being domains into actionable policy items. Canadian communities tend to focus on traditional, quantitative indicators of well-being. The more nuanced, subjective assessments of well-being are typically not reflected in Canadian communities’ strategies, plans, programs or policies.

Title: Urban Development and Complexity: Shannon Entropy as a Measure of Diversity
Abstract:
Shannon entropy is offered here to establish an urban diversity indicator using the city of Sheffield, UK as an illustrative case. Diversity is calculated for several time periods throughout the city’s evolution and provides a means to evaluate the ‘mix’ of green and urban space throughout its expansion and development. Secondly, three statistics models are developed to open discussion around alternative forms of urban development extrapolating from early settlement origins to the present day; these include an entropic, deterministic, and a hybrid model. Through this approach, the paper aims to aid the hypothetical exploration of urban growth dynamics.

Title: Urban Planning as a Career Preference for Students: Efforts to Improve Awareness about the Profession
Abstract:
A professional awareness challenge persists in the urban planning field in North America, resulting from students’ unfamiliarity, parents’ misperceptions, and school counselors’ non-recommendation of the planning profession as a potential career for students. With significant declines in enrollment and diversity in planning programs over the last decade, overcoming this professional awareness challenge is imperative. This paper argues that university planning programs and departments’ steps toward creating the needed platforms via Design and Planning Language Programs to build awareness among youth to pursue planning in their education and as a profession needs to be expanded and consolidated through research.

Title: Master Planning and the Evolving Urban Model in the Gulf Cities: Principles, Policies, and Practices for the Transition to Sustainable Urbanism
Abstract:
The significant predicament of sustainable urbanism in contemporary cities of the Gulf region is being addressed by developing policies designed to make cities safe, inclusive, resilient and sustainable. By examining the accessible planning documents, and based on the analysis of the ongoing world-class developments and megaprojects within the Gulf cities, particularly in Doha and Dubai, we argue that there is an inconsistency between the master-planning phase, usually conducted by western consultants, and the economic, political, socio-cultural, and environmental dynamics of the Gulf. Our analysis revealed insensitivity to the local, economic and socio-cultural patterns of the Arab Gulf countries and a governmental lack of capacity of national planners that may erode the opportunities to implement sustainable urbanism. It is suggested that, although globalization and modernization may have brought some benefits to the Gulf cities such as improvement in living standards and changes in society and lifestyles, yet an innovative master planning that merges land use and strategic planning based on building national capacities, and a holistic understanding of the social, cultural and oil-dominated economies and community engagement, is essential to deliver sustainable urbanism in the region. Recommendations for moving towards more capable, participatory and sustainable planning system are suggested in the paper.

Title: The Introduction of Brownfield Land Registers in England
Abstract:
This review examines recent planning policy and legislation regarding the regeneration of brownfield land in England. The study is centred on housing and England’s West Midlands region with a focus on the Black Country. The Housing and Planning Act 2016 introduced provisions to grant permission in principle for housing-led development in England and mandated the assembly of brownfield planning registers. The Brownfield Land Register Regulations 2017 requirements and their implementation is explored. The review concludes that of almost 18,000 brownfield sites have been mapped and capacity for 1.3 million homes on 21,000 sites covering 25,000 hectares has been identified on brownfield registers.

Title: Ecological Assessment for Spatial Planning: The Case of Southern Tuscany, Italy
Abstract:
The study concerns a methodology of assessment that aims to detect the prior objectives relative to nature conservation in an extended area.of Tuscany in Italy. In particular, we designed a model to assess ecological value (EV) and ecological sensitivity (ES) that together define the hotspots of ecological attention (HEA) areas; we design a model to assess anthropic pressure (disturbance) (AP), which together with ecological sensitivity define the hotspots of ecological fragility (vulnerability) (HEF) areas. The results of the work confirm the robust-ness of the method and its application in the scope of extended area planning and environmental assessment.

Title: A Comparison of Transit-Oriented Development in Sendai, Japan and Adelaide, Australia
Abstract:
Transit-oriented development (TOD) has the aim of encouraging sustainable mobility and urban development, especially where automobile use overshadows public transport. Therefore, looking to Japan with its history of development centred around railway stations and high public transport use can be useful. This paper examines TOD planning policies and approaches in Sendai, Japan, and Adelaide, Australia to find potential experience and strategies that might be applied to Adelaide. Results indicate that Sendai’s experience with business diversification, functional activities within TOD planning, and attracting private sector and landowner’s involvement in urban renewal projects, may bring fresh insights to TOD development in Adelaide.

Title: Policy Change through Social Elements of Policy Design: Florida Growth Policies
Abstract:
This study analyzed policy change in legislation through three social elements of policy design: policy problem, policy goal, and intervention strategy. It covered five successive policies of Florida Growth Management Act (1970-2010). The study also examined social construction of policy change and sources influencing change. Florida’s record of social policy learning and change was positive. Drastic 1980s changes included a centralized state-regional-local planning-implementation system and local economic development. Florida’s policies emphasized statewide control of population growth (1970s-1980s), and sprawl and urban decline areas (1990s-2000s). Florida’s problematic experience of instrumental policy learning and change included discretionary implementation tools and processes

Title: Digitally Supported Co-creation within Public Open Space Development Process: Experiences from the C3Places Project and Potential for Future Urban Practice
Abstract:
This research aimed to explore information and communication technologies (ICT) types to support co-creation activities in public open spaces (POS) at different stages of the co-creation process. We conducted state-of-the-art research on the methods, best practices, obstacles and potential of ICT tools and co-creation activities to ease the interaction between stakeholders engaged in the process. Based on those findings, we proposed an ICT tools selection framework. Four living labs were analysed to better understand the practical side of digitally aided co-creation. We conclude by exposing challenges and suggest ways to move forward toward genuinely digitally supported co-creation of the POS.

Title: Understanding Contextual Attractiveness Factors of Transit Orientated Shopping Mall Developments (Tosmds) for Shopping Mall Passengers on the Dubai Metro Red Line
Abstract:
Shopping mall studies reveal various factors attracting customers and patrons, whilst Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) studies focus on the impact of these developments on transit ridership. There is, however, limited research on Transit-Oriented Shopping Mall Developments (TOSMDs) and their attractiveness to passengers to board at nearby stations. This study investigates the attractiveness of these developments by exploring three contextual factors. Structural modelling indicated two contextual factors related to the preference of shopping mall passengers to board at transit stations near shopping malls. The study contributes to understanding and optimizing TOD planning practice and forecasting across transit networks.

Title: Towards Sustainable Mobility with Transit-Oriented Development (TOD): Understanding Greater Kuala Lumpur
Abstract:
Greater Kuala Lumpur is striving to pursue efficiency and liveability by maximising urban productivity while simultaneously continuing its intensive urbanisation. Thus, the expansion and enhancement of its public transport provide opportunities for transit-oriented developments (TODs) near designated stations. The public’s understanding and expectation of this model of urban planning are examined and factor analysis is used to reveal the underlying TOD factors, which relate to a conducive and seamless pedestrian environment, affordability, quality of the public transport system, pedestrian amenities and a compact and mixed-development concept. This paper identifies how development projects can become transit-oriented to enhance sustainable mobility behaviours.

Title: Metropolisation or Macrocephaly? Algiers: At the Edge of the Tragedy
Abstract:
Two strategic plans for Algiers: SNAT 2030, and PDAU 2015–2035 that seek to enhance its competitiveness to keep pace with other Mediterranean cities have been approved. A metropolisation process, as it is politically called, that would market the capital through a series of megaprojects is taking place. Such a tendency paradoxically counteracts previous planning instructions that strived for the control of its spatial expansion and avoid the scenarios of other underdeveloped megacities. This study examines the urban and environmental costs of such a policy that would lead to an unmanageable megacity, and thus, draws this tragic scenario.

Title: Urban Development Planning and World Cultural Heritage: Two Perspectives of Planning Practice Dealing with Industrial Heritage
Abstract:
Urban development planning and world cultural heritage represent two discourses that are relevant to the transformation of disused industrial heritage sites. The former Zollverein coal-mining complex (Germany) is a case study in this regard. The synchronous discourse approach enables analysis of conflicts and the potential of consensus within discourse constellations. Transdisciplinary cooperation aims to identify good practice in heritage management and can enable research knowledge to be transferred into practice. Eight criteria are presented for good practice in industrial heritage conservation and urban development, each including several indicators for analysis and monitoring.

Title: Wet-bulb Temperature and Sea-level Rise in the United Arab Emirates – Planning Responses
Abstract:
Increased heat stress and sea-level rise, associated with climate change could threaten the viability of some cities by the latter part of this century. This paper reviews urban development patterns in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, in the United Arab Emirates, and concludes these cities are highly vulnerable to elevated wet-bulb temperatures and sea level rise. This is predominantly due to the focus of development along the Gulf coastline, where these issues are concentrated. In response, this paper ventures regional planning responses to adapt to these threats through decentralising populations to inland areas.

Title: Residential Land Supply: Contested Policy Failure in Declining Land Availability for Housing
Abstract:
Planning plays a key role in ensuring the provision of adequate residential land exists for housing development. This paper explores the failure of housing land supply policy in Wales from multiple policy failure perspectives, ultimately identifying three key findings. Firstly, the goal-orientated failure in achieving five-year housing land supply is evident. Secondly, the reasons for failure vary but focus on the ramifications of the calculations and also relationships of planners and housebuilders across the public and private sector. Finally, despite the explanations cited for failure, the need for five-year land supply calculations to facilitate housing provision remains an unquestioned necessity.

Title: Early Career Planners in a Neo-liberal Age: Experience of Working in the South East of England
Abstract:
Since the 1970s, neo-liberal government policy has changed the context in which planners work, and resulted in a growth in the number of planners working in the private sector and changes in the roles of planners working in the public sector. This article reports on research investigating the impact of these changes on recent planning graduates working in the South East of England. The research findings highlight differences and similarities in the experience of public and private sector planners in terms of their job satisfaction, perceptions of the role of planners, ethics, career trajectories and membership of the profession.

Title: How to Best Classify Rural in Metropolitan Areas? The Turkish Case
Abstract:
The relationship between the urban and the rural is complex and it is increasingly difficult to make a distinction between them. In Turkey a new metropolitan law has reformed administration to classify formerly rural areas in 30 metropolitan municipalities as ‘urban’, effectively eliminating the rural-urban distinction. An evidenced based analysis and classification of urban and rural is needed to support relevant policies and planning.This review proposes an approach which results in three categories of area: predominantly rural region (PRR), intermediate rural region (IRR) and predominantly urban region (PUR) which would provide a more effective basis for policy and planning.

Title: German-Language Spatial Planning Research between Theory and Practice
Abstract:
This paper examines two leading questions of current German spatial-planning-research. The first question regards the significance of co-authorships in German-language spatial planning research, measuring the extent of interdisciplinarity and cooperation. Compared with other disciplines, stable co-authorships have less importance. The second question pertains to the role of theoretical bases in the journal articles: Large parts of publications in spatial-planning-journals have minimal theoretical foundations. Therefore, even as a practice orientated discipline , spatial planning research must improve the process of knowledge production, such as by building stable co-authorship-networks and a better theoretical foundation of its empirical work.

Title: Does the Diversity of New Build Housing Type and Tenure Have a Positive Influence on Residential Absorption Rates? An Investigation of Housing Completion Rates in Leeds City Region
Abstract:
The research tests a proposition that a more diverse range of new build housing improves absorption rates. Land registry house sales for four Planning Authorities in Leeds City region in the UK, over an 11-year period, were used to calculate Brillouin’s Index of diversity and perform Pearson and ANOVA tests to determine strength and significance of the correlation between absorption rates and diversity by type, size and tenure of new housing. The significant findings are that residential developments with higher diversity have lower absorption rates, conversely, developments with lower diversity have higher absorption rates and smaller sites are built-out faster.

Title: Urban Sustainability Transitions in Two Frontrunner Cities: Insights from the Multi-level Perspective
Abstract:
Research on urban sustainability has extended our understanding of what principles cities can apply to minimize their impacts on the global ecosystem. However, how urban sustainability transitions unfold and how location-specific characteristics in different territorial contexts impact transition processes have been previously addressed only to limited extent. Drawing on relevant transition theory (in this case the Multi-level Perspective), this paper examines the underlying drivers, opportunities, and barriers to sustainability transitions in cities. The analysis draws on two case studies from both the developed (Freiburg) and the developing world (Curitiba). We argue that cities have fundamentally different endowments and inherent characteristics; therefore, policy dealing with urban transitions should be responsive to the specific requirements of its application domain.

Title: Heritage Conservation through Planning: A Comparison of Policies and Principles in England and China
Abstract:
This paper presents a comparative study of conservation planning practice between Chester, England and Qingyan, China. It examines conservation policies and plans in the two cities, and aims to contribute to current international debates surrounding heritage management. Three key dimensions of conservation planning are identified and applied to the cases: the planning tools delivering conservation; the recognition of heritage; and conservation objectives and principles pursued. The analysis reveals that enduring socio-cultural and institutional specificities contribute to moulding approaches to conservation planning. Understanding such contextual specificities and distinctiveness is essential for international exchanges of experience around conservation planning.

Title: A Dialogue on Town Planning and Boundary Delineation
Abstract:
This is another dialogue on planning. Its novelty lies in its potency in discovering new cutting edges in planning theory and education by examining the roots of planning in real world practices. This invokes the meaning and necessity of a definition. It recalls that surveyors were bona fide town planners in all former British colonies.

Title: Configuring Objects and Subjects of Care in Built Heritage Management: Experimenting with Storytelling as a Participatory Device in Sweden
Abstract:
As in many other policy areas, there is a rising concern about how to involve the general public in heritage management and preservation. We analyse attempts made by Swedish cultural heritage authorities to initiate new participatory devices. We ask: How is storytelling used as a participatory device? What are the implications of this in terms of how legitimate concerns are reconfigured? Storytelling has a capacity to transform dominant discourses and result in new objects of care. We conclude that even storytelling itself is reconfigured in these practices, resulting in the collection of narratives, with limited transformative effects.

Title: Intraregional Spatial Dynamics of Quality of Life in Shrinking Cities and Their Suburbs
Abstract:
American shrinking cities have long been characterized by the flight of residents to their surrounding suburbs. However, recently there has been increasing evidence of the ‘comeback’ of former declining industrial cities. This paper examines the intraregional spatial dynamics of quality of life to determine if there is a difference between shrinking cities and their surrounding suburbs. We found shrinking suburban areas to be most in need of planning intervention as they had lower education and physician density than the central shrinking cities, but higher crime rates and inequality than growing suburban areas.

Title: Covid-19 and London’s Decentralising Housing Market – What are the Planning Implications?
Abstract:
This practice review examines some of the early evidence, and reporting, of housing market change in England prompted by the Covid-19 pandemic. Taking a transect from central London, through surrounding near-urban areas, to the countryside beyond, it looks at the possibility and implications of more dispersed housing market choices and what sorts of challenges these may present to local planning practice. The pandemic has the potential to accelerate multiple home ownership (MHO), widening current inequalities in the distribution of housing wealth and bringing new demand pressures to near urban and rural locations.

Title: Spatial Data Requirements for Metropolitan Spatial Planning in South Australia: Challenges for Evidence-informed Policy-making and Monitoring
Abstract:
Comprehensive spatial plans require a wide range of high quality spatial data, but planning requirements are not always considered in the increasing number of spatial data initiatives. This paper presents a framework for systematically analysing the availability and quality of spatial datasets in urban planning, and applies this to the example of the metropolitan strategy for Greater Adelaide, South Australia. The findings reveal significant gaps in important spatial data that are publicly available. This is especially concerning given the need to better understand integrated and multi-scalar planning policies such as for mixed use developments and polycentric urban structures.

Title: Scientometric Analysis and Mapping of Transit-Oriented Development Studies
Abstract:
Contemporary research on transit-oriented development (TOD) continues to progress within the context of sustainable development. Based on a scientometric analysis, this paper collected 507 articles from the Web of Science within the timespan of 1996–2021, and used VOSviewer to visually map and analyse the development of TOD studies, including yearly article distribution, main countries, organisations, highly co-cited documents, and burst keywords. We found documents with high co-citation strength in four clusters of TOD studies: impacts of TOD planning factors on transportation benefits; TOD typology, classification, and measurement; TOD contexts, experiences, difficulties, and solutions; TOD transit proximity and housing values.

Title: Constrained by Order: Challenges to Reform in Victoria’s Planning System
Abstract:
The unpredictability of cities and non-linearity of development trajectories has reduced the efficacy of order-based planning. In the Australian State of Victoria, the government is undertaking planning reforms to address increased uncertainty and complexity. The research examines Victoria's reform in the context of planning models that view cities as complex adaptive systems. It finds that reform is internally constrained by the structures and operations of its existing model, and cannot shift the beliefs and perspectives underpinning order-based planning. The paper identifies transitional pathways between orderly and complex paradigms, demonstrating how order-based systems can become more adaptive, flexible and responsive.

Title: Risk and Approaches to Risk-Taking in Testbed Planning
Abstract:
Urban experimentation and testbed planning have emerged as a response for developing solutions to contemporary urban challenges and constitute designated spaces of risk-taking. They represent strategic attempts at reimagining, influencing and even altering urban futures through the specific focus of being open to surprises and the unexpected. The aim of this article is to conceptualize risk in testbed planning and analyze risk and urban planning approaches to risk-taking. By using mobility experiments in five Nordic municipalities, it is shown that three approaches to risk prevail with regard to different loci of risk in testbed planning. These three approaches are minimizing and shifting responsibilities for individual risk, minimizing and shifting organizational risks and refusing political risks.

Title: Implications of the Covid-19 Pandemic: Canvassing Opinion from Planning Professionals
Abstract:
By the end of 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic had exceeded 83 million cases worldwide. Given the shared origins of planning and public health, new living and social conditions have prompted an interest in how urban planning could respond to the pandemic’s associated implications. In 2020, a national online survey Plan My Australia was conducted among planning experts (n = 161), in part, to identify new challenges facing urban planning and design due to the pandemic. The findings reported here revealed that many experts identified better planning for future pandemics in Australia could require some reconsideration of city size, urban density, self-sufficiency, public transport use, open space provision and housing design.

Title: Balancing Act: Preserving Historic Fabric and Enhancing Economic Vitality in Towns in the Metropolitan Periphery
Abstract:
Towns on the periphery of metropolitan areas face threats from metropolitan growth and the rise of Internet retail. They may be able to play new roles in the regional economy, e.g. as locations for tele-commuting, small-scale manufacturing, artisanal work, or residential development, but such new functions may threaten their historic fabric. This paper describes challenges historic downtowns in the metropolitan periphery perceive and their efforts to address them, as revealed through a national survey. Some towns are receiving new economic activities, but only a small number of their surrounding regions appear to support both the economic vitality and historic physical fabric of these centres.

Title: Supporting a Healthy Planet, Healthy People and Health Equity through Urban and Territorial Planning
Abstract:
The form of human settlements impacts on planetary health, population health and health equity. Yet goals for urban and territorial planning are only tangentially linked to public health outcomes. The WHO and UN-Habitat support actions to bring health to the fore in planning and design of human settlements, recently publishing ‘Integrating Health in Urban and Territorial Planning: a sourcebook’ focusing on ‘why’ action is needed, ‘how’ to initiate it; and curating several existing resources on ‘what’ to do. Recommendations for research, policy and practice include calls for rapid development of closer relationships between public health and spatial planning.

Title: Local Government Capacity and Land Use Planning for Natural Hazards: A Comparative Evaluation of Australian Local Government Areas
Abstract:
Global and national strategy emphasises land use planning as a key mechanism for disaster risk reduction (DRR). The practice of planning for natural hazards is devolved to local levels, making the capacity of local government critical for achieving strategic DRR goals. This study assessed the capacity of local governments in Australia to plan for natural hazards. Many Local Government Areas (LGAs) had satisfactory or good hazard planning provision, but remoteness, land area and council size influence poor hazard planning provision. Strategic intent for land use planning as a DRR mechanism is unlikely to be successful in many LGAs without first addressing place-based capacity constraints on hazard planning.

Title: Learning from Experience: Lessons from Community-based Engagement for Improving Participatory Marine Spatial Planning
Abstract:
Marine spatial planning (MSP) is critiqued for inadequate stakeholder engagement practices, particularly for determining community-level interests. Community engagement is foundational to community planning, a local-level process in terrestrial planning. This study compared the community engagement experiences of practitioners in local and national-level organizations in Nova Scotia, Canada, likely to participate in MSP to participatory best practice principles identified in the terrestrial planning and environmental management literature. Giving more attention to knowledge and skills of local government and community groups could strengthen participatory practices in MSP, link community and marine planning, and increase the relevance of MSP for coastal community development.

Title: Smart Growth in Canada’s Provincial North
Abstract:
Smart growth promotes urban sustainability by encouraging increased densities, mixed use, walkable design, and access to diverse transportation and housing options. This study applies literature-derived indicators to examine urban change in the city of Prince George; British Columbia’s northern capital. Findings illustrate that key growth nodes have largely performed (e.g., densified) at or below the level of their surrounding neighbourhood over time despite a robust set of policy tools associated with smart growth. This research is one of few to examine smart growth in a northern urban context, and situates the concept within the slow growth/no growth realities of many rural and remote regions.

Title: Experiencing the Sea: Marine Planners’ Tentative Engagement with Their Planning Milieu
Abstract:
It is more difficult for marine planners to gain understanding of their plan areas than terrestrial planners, because of the relative remoteness of the sea. However, direct experience of the marine planning milieu, including the sea’s bio-physical dimensions, may lead to better planning outcomes. A series of interviews with UK marine planning professionals reveals that experience of their planning milieu can be characterised as tentative, though also suggests ways forward in this respect. An ‘experiential’ approach to marine planning is proposed, by which planners seek, through multiple methods of learning, to be cognitively immersed in their planning milieu, including its non-human aspects.

Title: Maritime Spatial Planning on Land? Planning for Land-Sea Interaction Conflicts in the Danish Context
Abstract:
Denmark is currently producing their first Maritime Spatial Plan, as required by the European Union’s Maritime Spatial Planning Directive 2014/89. This article investigates the Danish approach to governing land-sea interactions, exploring the impacts of various institutional and procedural factors on the practice of planning at the land-sea interface in Denmark. We find that in Denmark, the MSP process has priority over the terrestrial planning system, that there is a complex institutional set-up with a lack of integration between the maritime and terrestrial planning systems, and that there exist differing perspectives about the importance of certain industries leading to conflicts.

Title: Policy Coherence for Climate Change Adaptation at the Land-Sea Interface in Ireland
Abstract:
One area where climate adaptation policies are proving difficult to design and implement is at the coast. On one hand, some of the most severe impacts of climate change are being recorded at the coast – especially through erosion and flooding – whilst on the other hand, these areas represent complex land-sea planning and policy interfaces. This paper analyses the coherency of policies along Ireland’s coast from a climate adaptation perspective. Results suggest that many policies are developed in an ad-hoc fashion around the needs of single sectors. Improved policy coherence at all levels of governance is required to address this.

Title: Oceans of Conflict: Pathways to an Ocean Sustainability PACT
Abstract:
Festering ocean conflict thwarts efforts to realize the Agenda 2030 Sustainable Development Goals. This paper explores transformations of ocean conflict into situated sustainability pathways that privilege human needs, justice and equity. We first outline the promise and limits of prevailing ocean/coastal governance practices, with a focus on marine spatial planning (MSP), which by framing conflict in shallow terms as use incompatibility, supports resolution strategies that privilege neoliberal technocratic-managerial and post-political models of consensual negotiation, thereby obscuring the structural inequalities, maldistributions and misrecognitions that drive deep-seated conflicts. Next, the distinctive features of the marine realm and ocean conflict are explained. Third, we outline the root causes, drivers and scale of conflict, with reference to history, climate, culture, governance, institutions and prevailing international socio-political conditions. Fourth, we reflect on the nature of conflict, exploring implications for shallow and deeper approaches of handling conflicts. Fifth, we highlight the implications of knowledge co-production for understanding and transforming conflict in pursuit of justice. Then, in response to the orthodoxies of MSP and prevailing conflict resolution strategies, we elaborate an alternative approach – Pragmatic Agonistic co-produced Conflict Transformation (PACT) for sustainability – sketching out key elements of a praxis that seeks to transform destructive interaction patterns of conflict into co-produced, constructive, scalable and ‘institutionalizable’ yet contestable and provisional sustainability knowledge-action.

Title: Planning for Post-pandemic Downtowns of Mid-size Urban Areas
Abstract:
There is widespread consensus that the Covid pandemic has had significant negative effects on cities and city life. In an online survey, urban planners were asked to identify the attributes that contributed to the success of the downtowns of mid-size urban areas prior to the pandemic as well as the attributes that would facilitate their post-pandemic recovery. While some urban scholars expect that recovery will lead to a ‘new normal’, the planners surveyed here are largely focused on restoring the ‘old normal’.

Title: Transboundary Marine Spatial Planning in European Sea Basins: Experimenting with Collaborative Planning and Governance
Abstract:
This article employs a multi-disciplinary planning and political science perspective to examine transboundary marine spatial planning (TMSP) in European sea basins through a collaborative governance and planning framework. The article argues that TMSP is a breeding ground for collaborative planning and governance in the Baltic Sea, North Sea and Adriatic Sea Regions. Collaborative governance and planning models can be developed into an effective framework for MSP policymakers, practitioners and researchers to structure and evaluate TMSP practices. The approach can potentially contribute towards overcoming TMSP challenges and to increasing cohesion and alignment of national marine spatial plans within European sea basins.

Title: Imagining the Invisible: Spatial Design for the North Sea
Abstract:
The North Sea is undergoing severe ecological degradation. Can this condition be used as leverage for a change in societal attitudes, which are subsequently reflected in planning practices? Currently, both avenues are progressing with few effective feedback loops. This question is examined through imaginative proposals made by students at Bergen School of architecture, who address the North Sea as a holistic seascape composed of human-made and natural phenomena and aim to provide strategies for ecological recovery while reinstating the commons.

Title: What Participation Means in Marine Spatial Planning Systems? Lessons from the French Case
Abstract:
There is already a substantial body of literature examining the participation issues in Marine Spatial Planning (MSP). This paper addresses these issues in the French MSP process. Using qualitative materials, it examines the participation process from four perspectives: structural, contextual, organisational, methodological. It shows that public participation in the French MSP system is still mostly procedural. Also, in most other EU countries, participation is used as a tool for resolving conflicts about use of the sea as well as to build acceptability for marine renewable energy projects. Whatever the role participation plays, it requires a critical attention in MSP processes.

Title: Challenges and Enablers to Integrate Land-Sea-Interactions in Cross-Border Marine and Coastal Planning: Experiences from the Pan Baltic Scope Collaboration
Abstract:
This paper analyses challenges and enablers for integrating a transboundary land-sea interaction (LSI) perspective into marine spatial planning (MSP) practice as experienced in the Baltic Sea Region. Collaborative research results from the Pan Baltic Scope project indicate that LSI remains an amorphous concept, particularly within a transboundary MSP context. Difficulty lies in bridging planning practices across land and sea and between varying uses, administrative settings and governance functions. Addressing LSI requires capacity, time, resources, awareness, reflection, and forums for collaborative learning across sectors and governance levels.

Title: The ‘Right Place’ for Sharks in the South Pacific: Marine Spatial Planning in a More-Than-Human Ocean
Abstract:
This article questions the contours of marine spatial planning and its application to non-humans while also paying attention to the role of the latter in structuring marine spaces and activities. Through two case studies focusing on sharks-oriented ecotourism in Fiji and sharks risk management in New Caledonia, we discuss how the ‘right place’ of sharks and humans at sea is negotiated, defined and enforced. Comparing the practices deployed to control sharks and humans’ behaviours and whereabouts, we argue that sharks are increasingly incorporated into marine spatial planning although with distinct patterns of sharks–humans relations.

Title: Never Read the Comments: Planning System Reform Discourse from the Bottom of the Web
Abstract:
In planning literature little attention has been paid to the relationships between news articles and readers’ comments. Based on a newspaper article that announced a planning system reform agenda in Sydney, Australia, this paper is curious about comments made by self-selecting commenters. To this end, the paper uses critical discourse analysis to examine the actors, actions and the framing in a newspaper article, as well as the extent the readers’ comments engage with the news article and other commenters. The paper shows that the readers employed a diverse range of discursive strategies to make sense of the news article.

Title: Conceptual Freedom in Planning Education and Students’ Methodological Learning
Abstract:
We reflect on a master’s seminar in Applied Geography and Planning, where students had great conceptual freedom in developing their empirical approaches towards group work. First, we assess the inductive, grounded learning design of the course. We then develop thoughts on the degree to which it was fruitful for the students’ methodological learning to allow for a conceptual framework within a single university course. Inductive course designs can foster students’ methodological learning, albeit at the expense of actual content. We close with considerations for designing future courses, putting the findings into the perspective of future challenges of the planning profession.

Title: Conceptualising Co-creative Planning Pedagogies: The Community Knowledge Triangle
Abstract:
Co-creation has emerged as a hot topic in contemporary planning pedagogies. Co-creation is seen as advancing the mutual exchange of knowledge between various actors in an educational setting. Despite the growing interest in co-creation in planning pedagogies, the potential types and flows of knowledge between learning communities are weakly conceptualised. This article proposes the community knowledge triangle as a fitting conceptual tool for understanding mutual knowledge exchange relations in co-creative settings. The triangle was utilised in a planning course to unpack the co-creative logic. The results showed that academics, practitioners and students exchanged knowledge in multiple directions, yet not in a reciprocal relationship.

Title: Training for Interdisciplinary Collaboration in Environmental Planning: The Shore-land Project, Taiwan
Abstract:
Interdisciplinary collaboration is must-have competence for planners. To provide interdisciplinary training, educators introduce ‘authentic learning environments’ where students conduct a ‘real-world’ project within a multi-disciplinary team. This paper reports on a course in which the instructors, students and local stakeholders worked together on a real project. Qualitative interview and participatory observation were used to understand the experience and organization of interdisciplinary training in an authentic context. This study finds students experienced different levels of boundary crossing – identification, coordination, reflection and transformation. The instructors played a role of facilitating students’ teamwork and mutual understanding, which leads to reflection on interdisciplinary collaboration.

Title: Theory versus Practice in Planning Education: The View from South Africa
Abstract:
This paper reflects on the ongoing debate between theory and practice in planning, using the example of South Africa. Based on survey responses, it discusses how planning education in South Africa is perceived to prepare students for practice. While we acknowledge that the majority of respondents view their planning education positively, the results reveal challenges regarding the practical application of theory, especially in the case of land-use management. We then respond to calls for contextualised practices of knowing, emphasising the ‘local’ in planning education so that theory and practice can be combined across contexts.

Title: Stakeholder Workshops as a Pedagogical Method for Experiential Learning in Collaborative Planning Education
Abstract:
Collaborative planning emphasizes the importance of stakeholder participation in the planning process. The planning, design, and delivery of the social space for stakeholder collaboration have become core skills in the planning profession. Responding to this trend, we conducted a series of pedagogical experiments by drawing on collaborative planning theories and tested the potentials of stakeholder workshops as a new way of professional learning. The findings show that stakeholder workshops can enhance students’ theoretical understanding and practical skills of collaborative planning. Issues that affect the quality of collaborative planning education include time management, course design, student competence, and support systems.

Title: Planning Practice and Academic Research: Views from the Parallel Worlds
Abstract:
Despite their different roles, academic and professional planners share many common goals. Both are concerned with the future of cities, and committed to goals of sustainability, equity and prosperity. Many academics hope to contribute knowledge that will influence practice and many practitioners wish to draw upon current research to promulgate best practice. Yet while this symbiotic relationship may appear clear in principle, in practice the two groups find it difficult to connect. This paper reports on a survey of planners in Australia and New Zealand, which asked respondents to consider the state of the theory/practice divide and suggest some solutions.

Title: Strategic Planning for High-speed Rail Investments – A Comparative Study of Four Intermediate Stations in Sweden
Abstract:
This paper departs from research illustrating that the development effects of high-speed rail (HSR) vary between cities being locations for stations and assumes that strategic planning and geographical contexts matter. It gives an overview of general planning through local authorities for a coming HSR and its station locations in four Swedish cities and settlements. The results show that, although Sweden represents a planning system with strong mandates for local authorities, strategic planning takes form through multi-level governance. The paper discusses how this condition the integration of visions for growth and environmental issues for the general planning on the local level.

Title: Post-COVID-19 mobilities and the housing crisis in European urban and rural destinations. Policy challenges and research agenda
Abstract:
The impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on working, travel and residential location patterns have attracted much commentary from scholars and practitioners interested in the future of cities and regions. Focusing on Europe, we discuss how pandemic-fuelled remote working and tourism practices have increased the demand for short-term rentals and second homes in rural/coastal areas as well as a number of desirable cities. The pandemic has accelerated pre-existing counter-urbanisation trends, with implications for housing availability and affordability in various parts of Europe. The policy challenges of regulating the use of privately-owned housing are discussed, followed by proposals for future research avenues.

Title: Justice in Regional Transport Planning through the Lens of Iris Marion Young
Abstract:
The paper investigates whether and how regional public transport plans in Sweden address issues of social justice. Drawing upon a theoretical and analytical framework based on Young’s concept of domination and using a critical discourse analysis conducted on regional transport plans in three Swedish regions (Skåne, Stockholm and Västra Götaland), we identify discourses potentially resulting from and reproducing domination dynamics. The analysis highlights the centrality of economic growth goals and the framing of public transport users as customers not involved in the decision-making processes, which contradicts the declared justice and sustainability aims of the plans.

Title: Projected Extreme Heat Stress in Northern Australia and the Implications for Development Policy
Abstract:
Heat stress, resulting from elevated heat and absolute humidity associated with climate change, will increasingly occur in the tropics and parts of the mid-latitudes and could threaten the liveability and viability of many regions. Concomitant with predictions of increased heat stress in northern Australia, the Australian Government seeks to boost the population in northern Australia substantially. This paper assesses the heat stress-related wet-bulb temperatures the largest northern centres could experience under Representative Concentration Pathways 4.5 and 8.5 by 2080. The paper finds that substantial population growth could place significant future urban populations at risk from heat stress-related health issues.

Title: The Role of Local Public Authorities in Steering toward Smart and Sustainable Mobility: Findings from the Stockholm Metropolitan Area
Abstract:
The contemporary transport policy discourse has come to include an increasing focus on smart mobility. This paper contributes to this discussion by exploring early understandings among local public authorities who have a formal responsibility to steer the transport system toward sustainability objectives. The paper analyzes different governing strategies expressed by local civil servants and shows examples of leadership, a market-driven approach or reactive tactics. We conclude that commercial interests are currently shaping smart mobility, which will not necessarily result in sustainable mobility. There is a need for a political focus on how digitalization should be used to achieve sustainability.

Title: ‘Holding Properties Vacant Is Resource Stupidity’: Towards a Typology of Roles in the (Inter)mediation of Urban ‘Temporary Use’
Abstract:
‘Mediators’ are becoming recognized as necessary actors in managing complex socio-political dynamics in the ‘temporary use’ of vacant spaces. However, ‘mediation’ remains understudied and undertheorized in temporary use scholarship. To better articulate mediator roles in temporary use, I review literature on related ‘intermediary’ roles in ‘urban transitions’ literature vis-à-vis temporary use practice. Thereby, I propose a typology of roles in (inter)mediation and elucidate selected roles in practice. By articulating how mediators align interests, build networks and negotiate the conditions in planning and development, this article draws attention to changing professional roles in planning and sets a basis for future research.

Title: Innovation dynamics in regional policies for urban regeneration: experiences from Italy
Abstract:
The paper investigates urban regeneration processes in Italy by comparing large-scale and long-term experiences in Piedmont and Apulia regions, both involved in the promotion of innovative urban regeneration policies for some decades. The multi-level perspective approach is employed to analyse transitions and to identify key leverages and lock-in mechanisms. A core influencing factor on transition pathways in urban regeneration is found in the range of policy instruments employed by the regional governments, which are in turn influenced by existing regime features. -Based on research findings, some suggestions are given on how to improve the consolidation of innovative practices in urban regeneration.

Title: Hacking: field notes for adaptive urban planning in uncertain times
Abstract:
Planning systems rely on an element of certainty and can sometimes be ill-equipped to creatively adapt to increasingly complex system trajectories. We analyse how designers and planners deal creatively with a statutory planning system that is increasingly being challenged by the progressive complexity of the broader social-ecological system in which it operates. Taking Sydney, Australia, as a case study and drawing from six interviews with senior planners and designers, we explore planning barriers and the strategies used to address these barriers. While many of the strategies are useful and appropriate, what seemed more significant were some of the creative methods employed to repurpose strategies in relatively modest but more adaptive ways. We propose to refer to this as ‘hacking’ and discuss how planners and designers might successfully hack the planning system within its current (legal) boundaries.

Title: How accessibility and transportation options affect neighborhood livability: evidence from the 2017 oregon livability survey
Abstract:
Promoting accessibility and expanding transportation options are at the center of many livability programs. Using the 2017 Oregon Livability Survey administered in three regions in Oregon, this paper studies the livability impacts of accessibility and transportation options in the broader context of residential preferences and choices. Findings show that residents valued accessibility and transportation options in both livability conceptualization and their residential choice process within a similar a hierarchy of preferences. Expanding accessibility and transportation options can enhance livability, but its effectiveness is limited if other situational factors critical to residents’ residential choice are not adequately addressed.

Title: Maritime spatial planning: Germany as a forerunner in ecosystem-based management?
Abstract:
The demand on space in the German EEZ is steadily increasing. In August 2021, Germany published a new spatial plan for its marine areas in the exclusive economic zone (EEZ). This article examines the extent to which the revision of the German maritime spatial plans meets the requirements of ecosystem-based management. Although the new spatial plan tries to find answers how to coordinate environmental protection issues with usage interests, not all conflicts were resolved. In particular, clarification is needed of how the expansion of renewable energies can be achieved in harmony with marine biodiversity protection.

Title: The Italian planner: insights from 20 years of planning education and practice in Italy
Abstract:
In Italy, urban and regional planning education is a comparative newcomer to higher education, just as planners are among built environment professionals. Through an original collection of data, this paper investigates the outcomes of 20 years of planning education and practice, paying attention to the (mis)matches between the two and to the emerging internationalization of both. How many planning graduates are there? How are they trained? What do they do? What is their professional status? Findings confirm a situation of lights and shadows, the development of a distinctive professional identity remaining imperative to ensure future relevancy for the Italian planner.

Title: Does planning keep its promises? latin American spatial governance and planning as an ex-post regularisation activity
Abstract:
Spatial governance and planning systems empower the public authority to steer and control spatial development. Whereas most comparative studies on how this occurs focus on the European continent, less knowledge is available on the global South incremental urbanisation. The cases of three Latin American countries – Bolivia, Ecuador, Peru – are here discussed, highlighting the role played by the logic of necessity (and the resulting necessity-market) as the main driver of plot-by-plot urbanisation. The analysis shows that, in the three countries, spatial governance and planning systems are scarcely capable to address societal needs ex-ante and limit their activity to ex-post regularisation actions.

Title: Ownership and organisation of urban development corporations in Danish towns and cities: a cooperative governance approach
Abstract:
Rooted in Pestoff’s third-sector organisation and undergirded by extensive empirical research, this paper considers how different public, private and civic actors interact and cogovern urban development projects. Public actors do not necessarily forego on value generation and capture despite public, private and civic partnerships frequently being analysed in terms of a rise in private values at the expense of public values. In fact, the article finds that differences in goals and priorities among public, private and civic actors may lead to differences in ownership and organisational roles without infringing on the public actors’ ability to generate and capture value.

Title: Beyond Conditionality: Community Placemaking in Taiwanese Social Housing Management
Abstract:
Taiwan’s social housing has concentrated on the physical provision of housing and pays little attention to questions of social inclusion in neighbourhoods. However, placemaking practices in other countries have triggered a flurry of experimentation in social housing in Taipei. We evaluate the performance of placemaking efforts aimed at enhancing tenant participation in social housing management. The rapid and selective transfer of social housing policy approaches from the West has led to problems in implementation and management. However, we found that community placemaking involving planners as facilitators fostering partnerships significantly enhances tenant participation in the provision and management of social housing.

Title: Exploring the Types of Blogs Cited in Urban Planning Research
Abstract:
This article discusses the crucial role of blogs in reporting topical materials yet to be adequately discussed in scholarly journals. A scoping study examined 31 samples from 4 types of blogging sources cited in 10 publications published in 7 journals in 2020. We identified four categories of blogs that include 39 community organisations, academics, practitioners, and community members who are readers of these blogs. We discuss the areas in which these blogs have affected public discourse over COVID-19. We also show that the blogs are based on novel concepts that have not yet been subject to the peer review process.

Title: A Reflective Account of Instructing Remote Planning Studios in the Era of COVID-19
Abstract:
This article examines, reflects on, and discusses remote planning studio pedagogy through reflection on the author’s instruction in two remote planning studios during the COVID-19 period and through assessment of student learning outcomes in these studios. Using a document review and staged critical reflection, the article discusses the difficulties and opportunities that many planning educators would face if they were to deliver the course curriculum remotely, as well as the implications for improving remote studio design and instruction in light of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

Title: Flexibility in planning through frequent amendments. The practice of land use planning in Germany
Abstract:
How can formal planning deal with uncertainty and rapid change while maintaining high standards of procedural certainty? This paper, using Germany as an example, examines how municipalities handle this dilemma within their existing planning systems. Municipalities use different approaches, ranging from regular redrafting to comprehensive changes or regular amendments. Amendments and complementary informal plans are important components of flexibility in planning. We argue that the choice to make frequent amendments instead of redrafting the preparatory land-use plan does not necessarily lead to a loss of a city-wide, long-term perspective, provided amendments are prepared and justified using informal concepts.

Title: Evaluating the integration of transportation planning in municipal official plans
Abstract:
Municipal official plans are useful for mainstreaming transportation objectives into local development planning and decision-making processes. Using a plan quality evaluation, this article assesses whether and how well transportation planning is integrated in municipal official plans of the 30 most populous municipalities in Canada. The results suggest this integration is weak, with a notable absence of rigorous data to inform transportation content in official plans, and poor monitoring and evaluation of transportation goals and policies. Furthermore, few plans provided details about how transportation-related policies would be implemented.

Title: Human rights and the city: A case of Ontario, Canada
Abstract:
Human rights are inalienable rights we each possess by virtue of being human. In Canada, Ontario has been at the forefront of progressive human rights policies. Despite this, human rights complaints related to land use regulations have been on the rise. This study pursues three questions: Why are human rights challenges against land-use regulations increasing? What human rights challenges do Ontario municipalities face? and how do they respond? We conclude that despite significant advancements on the human rights front, Ontario municipalities struggle to understand fully their legal and moral obligations and have yet to catch up with new judicial interpretations.

Title: Re-introducing statutory regional spatial planning strategies in England: Reflections through the lenses of policy integration
Abstract:
Statutory regional spatial strategies were abolished in England, United Kingdom in 2010. There are, however, increasing calls in favour of a re-introduction of statutory comprehensive spatial strategies at the regional level to enhance integrated economic growth and address exacerbating spatial inequalities. Through a survey and in-depth interviews conducted with experts and policymakers of the North-West region of England, this paper explores whether the introduction of such statutory strategies could find justificative grounds through policy integration of transportation, housing, and employment policies. We conclude with a set of mechanisms that could foster this re-introduction serving regional geographies beyond the North-West.

Title: Municipal responsibilities in strategic housing provision planning: to accommodate, support and facilitate
Abstract:
Swedish municipalities are obliged to formulate housing provision policies in housing programs, as part of municipal strategic planning. This article explores how municipalities interpret this responsibility. We analyze housing provision programs by drawing from prospective responsibility and policy analysis. Our analysis shows three different prospective responsibilities in the municipality’s production of housing provision responsibility. The results show that municipalities take actions by different means, leading to ambiguities and inequalities in housing provision planning.

Title: How to support the low-carbon urban transition through an interdisciplinary framework? An Italian case study
Abstract:
City leaders are advancing low-carbon transitions in urban areas that require robust operational frameworks and innovative processes. This paper presents a novel interdisciplinary framework to support urban decision-makers in the design and implementation of low-carbon strategies based on participatory approaches. Using inductive reasoning, the framework was defined according to three methodological steps: the preliminary analysis, the indicator selection, and the decision-making implementation. The work is part of the MOLOC Interreg Europe project and is applied to the revision of the Turin General Master Plan.

Title: Planning for the cultural economy: lessons from Ontario, Canada
Abstract:
This paper examines how policymakers interpret and deploy cultural economy approaches within municipal economic development strategies and cultural plans. Focusing on the 33 largest municipalities in Ontario, Canada, we conduct a keyword analysis of 63 municipal planning documents, supplemented with key informant interviews with economic development and cultural planning staff. Our analysis reveals that the use of cultural economy approaches in economic development and cultural plans varies depending upon city size, municipal governance structure and municipal organizational structure. However, despite the widespread use of cultural economy ideas in planning documents, we conclude that its uptake in municipal policymaking fails to reflect its professional and scholarly popularity.

Title: The non-sexist public space in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
Abstract:
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) has recently lifted restrictions regarding the mixing of genders and the access rights of women to public space. These reforms call for new public space strategies to accommodate women’s needs. Although studies have examined various management and design factors thought to improve women’s experiences in public spaces, these studies often lack an evaluative component and do not always convey the significance of each factor. Through Exploratory Factor Analysis and Fuzzy Synthetic Evaluation techniques, we propose a six-factor index that allows officials, practitioners, researchers, and urban inhabitants to assess and improve urban access for women.

Title: Identifying the merits of bottom-up urban development: theory-based evaluation using a value map model
Abstract:
Comprehensive understanding of the merits of bottom-up urban development is lacking, thus hampering and complicating associated collaborative processes. Therefore, and given the assumed relevancies, we mapped the social, environmental and economic values generated by bottom-up developments in two Dutch urban areas, using theory-based evaluation principles. These evaluations raised insights into the values, beneficiaries and path dependencies between successive values, confirming the assumed effect of placemaking accelerating further spatial developments. It also revealed broader impacts of bottom-up endeavors, such as influences on local policies and innovations in urban development.

Title: Municipal arts and cultural plans: implementation and impact
Abstract:
Arts and cultural planning is a growing subfield of planning, but we know little about how arts and cultural master plans are used in daily practice. Based on a survey of planners in 64 U.S. cities, we found that arts and cultural planners draw on arts and cultural plans more and view these plans as more influential than do general planners. Respondents highlighted plans’ importance in increasing community pride, government support for creative and cultural organizations, and in supporting economic development and place-based interventions. Participants thought they had made good progress towards implementation but still had work to do.

Title: Localism and the will to housing: neighbourhood development plans and their role in local housing site delivery in England
Abstract:
The planning system in England is regarded as a key mechanism for the delivery of housing but is also seen by some as a brake on its supply. In this context, the introduction of neighbourhood planning in 2011 has been promoted as a mechanism to reduce opposition to new housing and aid housing growth. This paper focuses on how this policy tool has been implemented with a view to mobilising communities to assist in the allocation of housing sites. The paper draws on empirical data to illustrate the role, motivations, and response to neighbourhood planning and its impact on the delivery of housing.

Title: Financing cleaner transportation: understanding changing trends in capturing developer contributions towards sustainable transport infrastructure
Abstract:
Transportation and accessibility remain an important consideration in land use planning decision-making if modal shifts towards sustainable forms of transport are to be encouraged. Land value capture (LVC) mechanisms which gather developer contributions can provide new transport infrastructure which supports such a shift. Within England, this has traditionally been pursued through negotiated section 106 agreements, yet data suggest a significant decline in the value of these contributions for transport measures since 2010. This paper investigates the reduction to understand the reasons behind it and then considers the resulting implications for policy and LVC practices using a qualitative synthesis.

Title: Is planning a barrier to the development of digital network infrastructure? Insights from rural Wales
Abstract:
This paper investigates the frequent claim that planning is a ‘barrier’ to developing digital networks (mobile telephony and broadband), causing ‘delay’ and deficits in rural network coverage. It draws on planning applications data and expert interviews gathered in Wales. It found only a relatively small proportion of infrastructure applications failing to gain consent but that developers did perceive planning uncertainty and constraints to adversely affect network roll out. However, economics rather than planning has been the central factor limiting rural network coverage. More fundamentally, framing planning as a ’barrier’ to infrastructure delivery ignores how planning mediates between alternative technological pathways.

Title: Relationality, place governance and heritage: the Lower Ouseburn Valley, Newcastle upon Tyne and ‘Ouseburnness’
Abstract:
A distinct collective place imaginary has developed in recent decades for the Lower Ouseburn Valley, Newcastle upon Tyne, or ‘Ouseburn’, formed by the experience of ‘rediscovery’ of this post-industrial area, as well as its longer industrial past. This has crystallized in the idea of ‘Ouseburnness’, a placeness that is used to actively frame the area’s character and future. In this paper, we examine this story in the context of a relational understanding of place and the translation of place imaginary into place governance, and vice versa, in the process raising questions of wider relevance to heritage management and urban planning.

Title: Managing Urban Heritage - A Case Study of the Warehouses in Kjøpmannsgata, Trondheim, Norway
Abstract:
Strategies to densify urban fabric for both environmental and market purposes, place built heritage under increasing pressure. Over the last decade, a shift can be noted in the discourse on built heritage in Norway, where the requirements for ‘dynamic management’ that recognises these pressures is emphasised. There is also an increasing awareness of the connection between cultural heritage and sense of place. This paper examines the row of wooden warehouses in the historic core of Trondheim, how cultural heritage values are interpreted by different actors. The paper concludes that despite unanimous agreement about the need to preserve the warehouses, reasoning and solutions vary depending on differences and positions in the cultural heritage discourse.

Title: Assessing happiness policies in Seoul: citizen participation in urban planning
Abstract:
Social isolation and mental well-being have been public concerns for South Korea for more than a decade. This has led to the development of happiness legislation and promoting happiness as an explicit city policy. As a result, the Seoul Village Community Project was developed to foster citizen participation and community engagement to promote communal ways of living and reduce social isolation. This paper examines the contemporary driver of Seoul’s endeavour to become a happy city and the success and failure in the city’s policy actions. The paper also illustrates how citizen participation has resulted in Seoul’s urban planning and revitalization.

Title: Beyond Historic Urban Cores: Conservation and Regeneration Practices in the Garden City Area of Marghera (Venice, Italy)
Abstract:
Within the Italian context for urban heritage management, this paper aims to discuss conservation and regeneration as a (potentially) combined practice, through the case of the ‘garden city’ of Marghera. Planned in the Venice mainland in the early XXth century, the district underwent a significant planning experiment in the 1990s, but was listed only recently. After examining the reasoning, features and outcomes of such processes, we assess how citizens’ sense of place was taken into consideration, and how it was affected by them.

Title: Why multi-stakeholder practices don’t work: looking beyond the extent and diversity of actors for co-producing collective action; a case study from an inner area in Italy
Abstract:
This paper examines the improvement of multi-stakeholder practices within Italian territorial cohesion and planning policy. The research used a qualitative approach for investigating and analyzing the case of the ‘Alta Tuscia-Antica Città di Castro Inner Area’, in the Lazio Region. Using a theoretical framework that combines the coproduction perspective in territorial planning with the concept of collective capabilities, the paper outlines recommendations to improve multi-stakeholder practices. Field and desk research suggested a shift towards a co-production perspective which strengthens the capabilities of territories for collective action.

Title: Planning disputes from the perspective of court rulings on building conditions. A case study of Poland
Abstract:
Our main aim is to identify the key features of spatial disputes concerning decisions on building conditions that concluded with a court decision. Parties to such planning disputes, directions of court decisions and territorial regularities were all identified. Both the database of administrative rulings of the Supreme Administrative Court (391 judgments in 205 municipalities) and data on local spatial planning documents (2.5 million decisions in 2,477 municipalities in Poland) were used. The results show that the initiators of planning disputes concluded in court are mainly property owners and their neighbours. Courts are more likely to uphold an investor’s complaint.

Title: Placing Heritage in Entrepreneurial Urbanism: Planning, Conservation and Crisis in Ireland
Abstract:
Ireland is beginning to emerge from an extended period of austerity following the global economic collapse of 2008. In this time, private sector investment in historic urban cores all but halted, and state funding for heritage was dramatically cut. However, both the state and civil society have placed a new emphasis on the potential of built heritage to act as a driver of economic recovery, reflected in both local and national policies and strategies relating to the conservation and regeneration of historic urban cores. Through a discourse analysis of local documentary material, and of semi-structured interviews with a range of key factors involved in the management of two historic urban cores in Ireland (Limerick and Waterford), the paper explores how conservation policy has been fashioned to suit its deployment as an instrument of local and national economic recovery within the context of entrenched entrepreneurial urbanism, and how local stakeholders have responded. The paper concludes on the implications for both conservation policy—specifically tensions between traditional conservation approaches and more flexible instruments utilised in heritage-led regeneration.

Title: Heritage as a Vehicle for Development: The Case of Bigg Market, Newcastle upon Tyne
Abstract:
In this paper we examine the way conservation-planning has changed since the global economic crisis in Newcastle upon Tyne (UK), where austerity is still an all-consuming issue. Focusing upon a recent project around the Bigg Market, a historic public space, we map the new ‘conservation-planning assemblage’ where ‘other-than-public' forms of management have taken hold. We identify impacts of austerity, deregulation and a smaller state ideology, and show how the agency of heritage assets and narratives in urban context is focussed on economic performance and competitiveness. Within the conservation-planning assemblage, roles and responsibilities have changed, and we reflect on the impact this has on conservation policy and practice.

Title: Who for rather than who with - how intended audiences help determine framing dynamics in contested planning
Abstract:
This article considers the contested case of the Minhocão, São Paulo, to be either removed or turned into a park. The case provides insights for framing and planning literature. It is analysed through interviews, and media and document analysis. The results show that the involved actors adopt different framing strategies: adaptive, coherent, or deliberative. Each strategy has particular intended and actual audiences that help explain the dynamics of participatory contestation. Each strategy reveals choices in dealing with adversaries, who are present, and with intended audiences, who are largely absent. And each strategy has specific repercussions for learning and planning outcomes.

Title: Assessing inequity in zoning bylaw: a case of Edmonton, Canada
Abstract:
Equity is a key concern for municipalities, yet current planning scholarship lacks clear, pragmatic guidance on how to identify inequity in municipal zoning bylaws. Although controversial, zoning is the primary legal tool to regulate land and its use. This study examines aspects of the current City of Edmonton zoning bylaw that are most inequitable by closely following the city’s ongoing Zoning Bylaw Renewal Initiative. Applying but also expanding the theoretical framework of equity and legal tests, the study provides a lens and a methodology to identify inequities in Edmonton’s zoning bylaw, which other Canadian municipalities can also adopt.

Title: Informal practices in urban planning and governance. Examples from Polish cities
Abstract:
Planning has a formal, legally defined component and an informal component developed in response to deficiencies in the planning system. Informal practices can contribute to the development of tools that would improve urban governance, especially in areas related to space. This article presents an overview of informal practices that have taken place in Polish cities and towns in recent years and offers an assessment of their impact on the quality of urban governance.

Title: Regional spatial planning for implementing the European Green Deal: a new method of assessment applied to the metropolitan area of Florence
Abstract:
The European Green Deal (EGD) is the most ambitious current challenge for regions and cities of the EU member states. While the role of regional spatial planning in addressing sustainable development and climate change mitigation has been widely investigated, an analysis of its ability to drive the green transition is still missing. The authors propose a new method to analyse how current regional plans meet EGD challenges and apply it to the case of the metropolitan area of Florence. The analysis reveals that, although plans cover EGD issues, there is still a need for more integrated tools and greater effective governance.

Title: Restructuring local-level spatial planning in Greece amid the recession and recovery period: trends and challenges
Abstract:
The paper examines the restructuring of local-level spatial planning in Greece during and after the crisis period. It analyses the reform paths that were developed and assesses the directions of change concerning the scope of planning, the actors and the practices. The paper concludes that the orientation has turned towards special-purpose planning, the privatisation of planning powers, and the transfer of planning power to the central state. However, despite these shifts, the domestic local-level planning maintains its long trends, such as clientelism and conformative approach, making the trajectory of planning unpredictable.

Title: Discovering the diverse economy of a ‘left-behind’ town
Abstract:
How should we think about the well-being and associated economic development of areas that are not subject to market pressures for growth? What is the economy of a small town outside such demand pressures like? And what should be the role of local planning in such a context? The paper explores these questions through a case study of Shildon, County Durham in England. It explores the diverse economy of the town, including aspects of the Foundational Economy and the central role of civil society, through an analysis of local planning for business premises, new housebuilding and culture-led regeneration.

Title: Digital planning practices: benchmarking planners’ use of information and communication technologies (ICTs)
Abstract:
Information and communication technologies (ICTs) have become an integral component of urban planning practice in the last 30 years. The applications, utility and fit of specific technologies within planning practice have been widely discussed, however the use of ICTs by planning practitioners beyond individual case studies is unknown. This paper explores the results of an online survey of Australian and UK planners and comparatively benchmarks the types and extent of use of ICTs in planning practice, and the factors inhibiting or enabling the use of different ICTs. The paper concludes with reflections on the relationship between ICTs and urban planning.

Title: Transitions of spatial planning in Ireland: moving from a localised to a strategic national and regional approach
Abstract:
Major policy or paradigm shifts to more sustainable development paths present political, economic and social challenges. In Ireland, the experiences of other European states have been used to shift what was a localised development-led planning system towards the incorporation of national and strategic approaches. The transition is from a land-use planning approach with a market-led emphasis based on a local plan making function with regulatory controls. This paper explores the process, factors and inherent difficulties involved in moving from a localized to more integrated and strategic approaches and examines experiences to date.

Title: The territorial agenda 2030 for places and a more cohesive European territory?
Abstract:
Europe faces the challenge of ensuring positive perspectives for all places and people. This requires rethinking cohesion, and the way cohesion is delivered. The Territorial Agenda 2030 offers a strategic reference point that sets priorities towards a more balanced, harmonious and cohesive development. Previously, the Territorial Agenda has been limited in implementing these ambitions. The article argues that, despite persisting limitations, the Territorial Agenda 2030 has moved towards making changes on two levels: A renewed cohesion understanding and an active implementation of it. However, the question remains whether it could generate enough momentum to move beyond keeping the intergovernmental policy process alive.

Title: Reenergizing European spatial planning
Abstract:
This paper addresses the role of spatial planning as a means to promote territorial cohesion in Europe. We first present three key challenges for Europe’s future. Secondly, we explore (i) what European spatial planning would need to do to tackle the key challenges, (ii) the actual relationship between spatial planning and EU policies, and (iii) access points to increase the strategic fit between spatial planning and EU Cohesion Policy. Based on this, we derive some more general conclusions on the future perspectives of European spatial planning.

Title: Planning systems on the move? persistence and change of the German planning system
Abstract:
The paper addresses the relationship of planning systems and related processes of institutional change. It evaluates the persistence and change of the German planning system with a focus on recent impacts of Europeanisation. It shows that the ability to transform institutional patterns of spatial planning in Germany is rather limited. The German planning system has not undergone revolutionary shifts during the last five decades, but it is ‘by-passed’ by a new and mostly informal planning sphere recently. The latter is triggered by financial incentives bound to European structural funds and characterized by a strong focus on experimental spatial development.

Title: Dissolution rather than consolidation - questioning the existence of the comprehensive-integrative planning model
Abstract:
Previous research has shown that the comprehensive-integrative planning model seems to be expedient for modernising planning systems, specifically regarding the relation between spatial planning and sectoral policies. However, contemporary, and particularly comparable studies are non-existent. Based on empirical findings from a European research project our comparative analysis explores whether spatial planning in nine countries conforms to key features of this idealised planning model. Our analysis reveals discrepancies regarding how spatial planning is positioned in relation to sectoral policies across the various countries. We argue that this planning model appears rather to be in a state of dissolution than of consolidation.

Title: The development of transport infrastructure in Poland and the role of spatial planning and cohesion policy in investment processes
Abstract:
In Poland, systemic transformation, social changes and integration with European Union structures all instilled major change in the country’s system of spatial planning. This encompassed the general framework, the adopted procedures, the range of entities involved, and the sources and forms by which large new infrastructural developments attracted funding. This article seeks to offer an overview of the evolution in post-1989 Poland of transport infrastructure planning. Various aspects to the development of this infrastructure are explored, while the roles of factors of a political nature are assessed, also in connection with the related issue of new legislation developing and changing approaches to the investment process.

Title: Multilevel urban policy mobilities through the City Statute: the spreading of Brazilian urban federal law
Abstract:
The City Statute is a legal framework that provides Brazilian urban policy with another dynamic. It guides urban policies across the national territory, and hasgained international prominence at a moment when Latin American countries became policy exporters. This paper takes the City Statute to discuss multilevel urban policy mobilities between international and subnational levels, analyzing how its guidelines and contents spread across Brazilian and Latin American territories. The findings suggest that the City Statute has been simultaneously disseminated and questioned at different levels. It is a significant case study for understanding multilevel and South-South policy mobility.

Title: The role of municipal knowledge management vehicles in facilitating international knowledge sharing and policy mobility: the Durban story
Abstract:
Despite increasing scholarly focus on inter-city policy mobilities there has been insufficient emphasis on understanding the role of municipal institutional factors in enabling global policy translation. This paper argues that the value of knowledge management vehicles in city-to-city learning and ‘knowledge-sharing enablers’ deserves prominence. The author employs autoethnography as a method of qualitative inquiry, chronicling Durban’s Municipal Institute of Learning’s establishment, successes and challenges through changing institutional landscapes. In a context where rapid urbanisation has African planners looking to learn from other cities, the story offers both useful lessons in knowledge exchange practice and opportunities for critical scholarly reflection.

Title: Unpacking the Ecuadorian spatial planning law: policy mobilities in Latin America between transnational agency and path-dependent logics
Abstract:
The paper engages with the policy mobilities debate by examining the 2016 Ecuadorian spatial planning law. It explores the existing tensions between the constitutional framework and the spatial planning tools outlined by the law which were the result of a process of adaptation of external planning models influenced by international organizations. It shows how the long-term consequences of property rights and a rural understanding of indigeneity shaped spatial planning tools, therefore suggesting the implication of path dependence in the outcome of policy mobilities. The contribution is based on participant observation, desk-research and semi-structured interviews.

Title: Transferring transport policy problems: the instrumental role of social concerns in policy transfer
Abstract:
The paper investigates the overlooked role of problem setting in policy setting and transfer. The prevalent rational approach to urban mobility issues in fact privileges problem solving over problem setting, overlooking the role of problems in policy transfer processes. Reviewing institutional and academic works, the paper develops a comparative reading of Bogotá and Santiago, two Southern cities that justified their mobility policies referring to social issues. The analysis shows that social concerns have played an instrumental role in aligning the problem to its solution and justifying the adoption of an already selected strategy.

Title: Territorializing the climate policy agenda in intermediate cities of the Andean Region
Abstract:
This article explores how the climate policy agenda gets territorialized in four intermediate cities of the Andean Region: Pasto (Colombia), Santo Domingo de los Tsáchilas (Ecuador), Iquitos (Peru), and Santa Cruz de la Sierra (Bolivia). We investigate processes of coercion, competition, emulation and learning to argue that fast-paced diffusion of the climate agenda produces a bricolage of instruments as an attempt to comply, repair, adjust, or experiment with the multi-scale policy framework. The study emphasizes the importance of institutional frameworks, planning instruments, climate regulations and contextualized practices that condition climate action locally.

Title: From territorial capital to regional design: a multidimensional model for territorial analysis and scenario evaluation
Abstract:
Territorial capital is a policy concept that emphasizes the endogenous development and regional competitiveness of particular territories, calling for place-based territorial approaches and greater convergence between spatial planning and regional development policies. However, spatial thinking and imaging are still missing when this concept is applied. This paper introduces a multidimensional assessment model that foregrounds the spatial dimension of territorial capital and enables integration and visualisation of decision-supporting data in planning processes. Taking Sintra’s region, Portugal, as a case study, the model helps to consider regional development in spatial planning’s strategic visioning as it sets the ground for regional design approaches.

Title: ‘Water as everage’: design-led planning for urban climate resilience
Abstract:
To prepare for the impacts of climate change, many Asian cities aim to become climate resilient. This calls for innovative, integrative, inclusive, and transformative planning approaches. Although design is advocated as a means to develop such approaches, it remains unclear what a design-led planning approach actually entails. This paper explores the design-led planning approach of the ‘Water as Leverage’ (WaL) programme, and investigates how it unfolded in Semarang, Indonesia. We found that WaL was able to develop promising proposals by employing the potential of design. However, future design-led planning initiatives can benefit from more receptivity to local situations and initiatives.

Title: Regional design for post-mining transformation: insights from implementation in Lusatia
Abstract:
This article reports on an attempt to implement regional design in a decarbonization transition in Lusatia, one of Germany’s lignite regions. As visioning tools, regional designs have great potential for application in coal-regions facing sustainability transitions. Through the implementation of the Lusatia 2050 Planning Lab, we find that the politically induced nature of the present transition, combined with regional factors, such its cross-border character and scepticism regarding sustainability, significantly modified the design and outcome of the method as applied. We note that the resistance to transformative goals by powerful actors administering transitions may prove an important impediment to their success.

Title: Rehabilitating utopias: the importance of imagination to confronting our spatial challenges
Abstract:
Many contend that end-state planning is no longer either acceptable or feasible. However, outside the formal planning system, communities do conceive radical proposals for the places they live in. Our paper makes a plea for a renewed appreciation of Utopias by revealing the diversity of such imagined futures of a place. By means of a review of the nature of 12 locally emerging Utopias in the Netherlands, combined with a literature review, we propose to use spectra to characterise imagined futures, bringing nuance to the debate and a re-appreciation of the transformative power of Utopian stories about futures of places.

Title: The impact of regional design on river agreements: the case of the ombrone river in Tuscany
Abstract:
Regional Design is a planning approach employed to build up robust argumentative structures and visions of the future that aim to guide decisions over a long time. The paper investigates the impact of the use of the Regional Design operational approach for the definition of a River Agreement. It traces the path of research-action that led the local community of Buonconvento, a small Tuscan town, to activate networks of social capital useful to build the Ombrone River Agreement. The methodology of analysis builds on Faludi’s concept of ‘performance’ and falls within four main areas of observation.

Title: Mobilization, assembling and translation of integrated urban development policy in Ukraine: revealing strategies, actors and labors
Abstract:
Drawing on the conceptual-methodological framework of assembling urbanism, the paper sheds light on the strategies, actors and labors of mobilization of the integrated approach to urban development in Ukraine in the late 2000s, its further consolidation after the Euromaidan Revolution of 2013–2014 and transformation into a dominant policy assemblage with discursive and normative power for strategic socio-spatial changes at the national and municipal levels. The research findings deepen the understanding of the complexity of mobilization––assembling––translation processes, revealing the dynamic and affective dimension of relations between heterogeneous actors and underscoring the role of political and politics in assembling urbanism studies.

Title: Disseminating regional design: potentials and barriers in existing spatial planning and governance
Abstract:
Despite growing academic recognition of the usefulness of regional design for regional coordination and rescaling from the bottom up, the response of practitioners in spatial planning and governance at regional scales remains unclear. To investigate how practitioners assess regional design towards real-world practice, we interviewed practitioners engaged in our educational regional design studios in the Munich Metropolitan Region. Results demonstrate practitioners acknowledging the relevance and potential of regional design to practice amid persistent barriers in administration, such as a lack of resources or support. Disseminating regional design might therefore demand a more comprehensive arena of application than existing spatial planning.

Title: Practicing within and beyond planning: narratives of practitioners from South Africa
Abstract:
There is limited scholarship on planning practice that foregrounds narratives of practitioners, especially those based in the post-colonial contexts. Juxtaposing biographical narratives of 12 practitioners from South Africa, this paper highlights the diversity and plurality that exist amongst planners and their practice in these contexts. Having trained in planning to enable socio-spatial change, these practitioners curate their practice within and beyond planning, following their passion, interests, personality, and personal circumstances. It is argued that central to this curation are the considerations of ‘where’ and ‘with whom’ to practice. The place of practice and the people they practice with become expressions of what practitioners value.

Title: Planning practice in Indonesia during COVID-19: insights from students
Abstract:
Urban planners must adapt to changing social needs as the profession evolves. Planning students’ views on the profession during COVID-19 are examined in this paper. This study collected discussions from students on a virtual bulletin board. Students were asked how planners support public health protocols, what planning products need updating, and how planners can meet future challenges. Students believe urban planners are crucial for public health and safety and that infrastructure planning and development should anticipate uncertainties. This study shows how early tertiary students view their future careers and that planners must anticipate planning and development uncertainties.

Title: Planning practice and the planning profession in Mexico
Abstract:
This article addresses the following question what do Mexican planners do? The analysis of planning practice in this article is based on a survey of 141 planning practitioners in Mexico. The findings suggest that practice is still embedded in the institutionalized mode of technical rational planning and unable to deal with the ‘stubborn realities’ of urban and social inequities that are part of a historical legacy or path dependency that is difficult to change.

Title: The roles and ethical perspectives of urban planners in Turkey
Abstract:
This study examines the influence of ethical rules on Turkish planners’ ability to carry out their duties. Researchers used qualitative and quantitative methods, including a survey with hypothetical scenarios and prioritization tests, to measure ethical preferences. Findings indicate that planners in Turkey make ethically inappropriate choices in providing information outside their field of expertise and publishing information on demand. However, their responsibility to the public and public interest principle come to the forefront in planners’ ethical preferences. Planners preferred deontological ethics in performing their professional duties, but also preferred more political and hybrid roles.

Title: Sympathy for the bogeyman planner: a call for a nuanced discourse on planning ethics in India
Abstract:
This paper reports findings from a survey of public-sector urban planners in India. The survey attempts to gauge planners’ opinions on the importance of planning values in everyday decisions and the degree to which these values are delivered in practice. In-depth interviews were used to validate the survey results and investigate themes further. The study presents a nuanced and contextualized analysis of the attitudes and mindsets of planners. It is expected that the study will initiate a discourse on planning values in India and encourage planners to confront the full implications of their decisions.

Title: Profit or public service? Tensions and alignment in private planning practice
Abstract:
The growth of employment opportunities for planners working in the private sector has resulted in a rapid change in the composition of the planning profession in the UK, with over 40% of Royal Town Planning Institute members now employed in private practice. Existing writing on private planning practice is somewhat circumspect, with the private sector being associated largely with a profit-driven approach. Drawing on interviews with private sector planners, this paper argues that this fails to reflect the lived reality of private sector planners, and in so doing sets out an alternative and more nuanced characterisation of private practice.

Title: Disparate goals, progressive ideals? Professional biographies of planners in the UK and their ideas of ‘mission’
Abstract:
In this paper, we utilise data from biographical interviews to examine the values held by UK planners and whether and how they promote progressive planning ideals in their everyday work, often despite countertendencies in planning systems and organisational priorities. Our research concurs with the idea of a mildly progressive, yet conservative, positioning: in Hillier’s (2002) terms, some planners are ‘on a mission’ but these missions vary from common-good orientations, a desire to do ‘better’ planning in a putative public interest, to more justice-based commitments to certain progressive ‘causes’ such as particular publics, cultural heritage, special places, or the environment.

Title: What’s urban planning in the Brazilian 21st century?
Abstract:
The Brazilian City Statute, from 2001, has institutionalized urban planning instruments at the federal level, comprising an amalgamation of design, law, planning, and economics. This regulation has established just principles, whose interpretation and application in spatial planning land use parameters are the municipalities’ responsibility. The paper introduces interpretations of the Statute and practices in three Brazilian cities of different scales: a national economic capital, a state capital, and a regional metropolis. Considering that urban planning today is determined more by economic logic than by urban principles, we ask: what’s urban planning in the Brazilian 21st Century?

Title: The experience of others – reflections on professional practice, values and motivations from alternative career journeys
Abstract:
Planners now work in a variety of alternative career paths in contrast to the traditional binary concept of working in the public sector or the private sector. This practice review article includes anonymous reflections from eight planning practitioners who work in ‘other’ employment fields, which reveal important motivations and values. The ability to make justified decisions, being pragmatic, clear communication, being empathetic, the ability to ‘bring people with you’ and a continued sense of working in, and for, the public interest all featured strongly. The ongoing enthusiasm and dedication to the vocation of planning shone through.

Title: Planners, blended (in)formality and a public interest of fragments
Abstract:
Planners need to manage the plurality of everyday living conditions faced by monetary poor communities in South African cities. Here, we develop the concept of blended (in)formality to move beyond binary approaches which classify these communities as having either formal or informal status. Drawing on McFarlane’s (2018, 2021) notion of fragments, we explore how formal planning and spontaneous unplanned urban interventions do not merely co-exist but work together. We formulate a public interest of fragments to demonstrate how communities can benefit from approaches to planning which employ a more fluid understanding of the interactions between the formal and informal.

Title: Using practice theory to conceptualise balancing and values in urban planning
Abstract:
Despite its importance, balancing has received limited attention in planning research. Emphasising the significance of balancing in achieving planning outcomes, we argue that this lack of research hinders the comprehensive analysis of balancing as the basis of planners’ work. This practice review aims to demonstrate that balancing, especially the interplay between balancing and values, is a major element of planning processes from the conceptual perspective of practice theory. Further research on balancing may lead to an enhanced understanding for both scholars and practitioners of how values are invoked in planners’ day-to-day work.

Title: From big apple to home of hockey: how scalar narratives and performative practices work in urban planning
Abstract:
Drawing from a case study in Finland, the paper analyses the performative practice of urban development projects in order to win public support for the desired future. The role of famous architects as agents of urban change is pivotal. This raises the concern of how the performative trend in planning cuts down the public discussion of possible alternative futures. The analysis uses the concept techniques of futuring and follows the repetition of performative action. It is relevant to ask if the role of the public is to engage in the story presented instead of engaging in the planning process.

Title: The next generation of nuclear power plants and the role of the local planner
Abstract:
This paper makes the case for urban planners to become active participants in discussions concerning the placement of next-generation nuclear power plants. Centered upon an evolving concept of creating small modular reactors (SMRs), these plants are now being created and tested at various sites. They are intended to be low carbon sources of energy. While extensive technical research on SMRs is ongoing, the planning community has been quiet about the local impacts that could occur from their placement. This paper offers a review of the attitudes toward nuclear power, the characteristics of SMRs and why planners should be involved.

Title: Research in action: enhancing the policy impact of planning research through an interactive approach
Abstract:
Planning researchers often engage in international comparative research oriented to improving domestic planning practices. However, policy transfer is seldom sucsessful because the identified ‘best practices’ are insufficiently applicable or transferable. To address this, we employed a reflexive action-oriented methodology valorise the results of an ESPON project on sustainable urbanisation in two specific contexts: Lithuania’s national strategic plan and Croatia’s post-earthquake reconstruction. In collaboration with stakeholders, we assessed the local context and then used the European knowledge as a means for reflection. The results are encouraging, suggesting that this method could improve the impact of planning research.

Title: Citizen participation and acceptance in the context of urban events. An investigation on regional garden shows in Germany
Abstract:
Citizen participation and acceptance play an increasingly relevant role in urban and regional development. This also applies to the success and sustainability of urban events. While research on participation is growing rapidly, participation in the context of events is underrepresented. Therefore, I investigate the role of participation and acceptance conditions regarding German regional garden shows using a mixed-methods research design (quantitative survey, multiple case studies). Citizen participation is a central factor for public acceptance. The active participation of volunteers is highly relevant before, during and after the event. Conflicts arise mainly concerning financing, environmental and monument protection.

Title: Evaluating the integration of transport planning considerations into decentralized plans in Ghana: evidence from the Kumasi Metropolis
Abstract:
Scholarly discourse and global policies advocate policy integration across sectors, including land use and transportation. However, African cities lack best practices for transport and land use integration. This paper employed a ‘plan quality evaluation framework’ and key informant interviews to assess the quality of decentralized plans of the Kumasi Metropolis regarding integrating transportation planning considerations. The integration of transport considerations into the goals and policies of the KMA’s plans was weak. Although coordination and implementation arrangements were strong, provisions for monitoring and evaluation were inadequate. Institutional fragmentation, poor inter-departmental coordination, and resource constraints were integration hurdles that needed immediate attention.

Title: Understanding people-centered planning practice in Europe: an institutionalist comparison between urban development projects in Vienna and Helsingborg
Abstract:
Pursuing people-centered planning practices (PCPs) such as participatory approaches demands a better understanding of how their operationalization relates to contextual structures and conditions in urban governance. By comparing two cases of social sustainability operationalization in Austrian and Swedish urban development projects based on Ostrom’s IAD-framework, this article identifies institutions relating to performed people-centered activities. The findings reveal that PCPs do not necessarily benefit from highly formalized rules prescribing specific localized activities. Instead, they are shaped by institutions that (1) position the actors responsible for performing people-centered activities, (2) define strong socially-oriented and innovation-oriented outcomes, and (3) enable funding that upholds long-term public interests within the markets that co-shape the projects.

Title: Mapping everyday community life in suburban shrinking areas around Tokyo: case study of Minamiashigara, Kanagawa prefecture
Abstract:
Although the suburbs of numerous cities worldwide are shrinking, research on how to address suburban decline remains scarce. This paper explores participatory mapping in shrinking suburbs as a tool to articulate knowledge co-creation between local officials and communities to inform planning decisions. The paper argues that participatory planning helps to identify sweet spots, everyday life community spaces upon which to anchor regeneration strategies. Using as a case study Minamiashigara, a shrinking suburb of Tokyo, the paper discusses how sweet spots can be integrated into existing municipal strategies to alleviate the consequences of shrinkage.

Title: Feminization of the urban planning discipline: developing a gender responsive pedagogy at Ferdowsi University of Mashhad, Iran
Abstract:
With the increasing number of female students enrolling and graduating from the Department of Urbanism at Ferdowsi University of Mashhad, Iran, this study aims to mainstream gender into urban planning pedagogy. This is achieved by analyzing a case study comprising 47 survey responses and seven follow-up interviews. Among other factors, respondents’ perspectives on gender are more influenced by their personal experiences rather than the objective knowledge acquired through the Department’s curriculum. Recommendations for the department to mainstream gender into the pedagogy are (1) mainstreaming gender issues in urban planning curriculum, (2) promoting gender-balanced department climate, (3) innovating around teaching methods, and (4) increasing awareness about the profession.

Title: Do young adults want to live downtown? Understanding attitudes in Prince George, BC
Abstract:
Cities throughout North America are experiencing a population boom in the city centre, fueled by changing consumer preferences, particularly amongst young adults. However, not all communities have experienced this phenomenon equally. In Prince George, a mid-sized city located in northern British Columbia, the downtown has not undergone a population resurgence. Instead, development continues to expand outwards at the edge of the city. Using a web-based survey, this research seeks to better understand the attitudes of young adults in Prince George, to gauge their perspectives about living downtown, and to understand the factors that constrain market demand. Our findings indicate that respondents hold negative perceptions about the downtown, which leads to soft market demand and impedes plans for population growth in the downtown.
Young adults are fueling population growth in the downtowns of cities throughout North America.Many mid-sized cities, such as Prince George, have not experienced this same phenomenon, because of soft market demand, stemming from negative perceptions about the downtown.To increase the downtown population and contribute to the broader goal of revitalization, the city, in collaboration with other stakeholders, must first address the underlying factors that are impeding market demand.

Title: Ten pieces of advice U.S. municipal planners should follow when evaluating prospective affordable housing partners
Abstract:
Existing research suggests that municipal planners in the United States are well positioned to help local governments advance affordable housing goals. Yet few studies offer members of the profession guidance they can follow to do this in context-specific situations. This practice review article recognizes the gap in the literature and seeks to fill it in part. It does so by presenting 10 pieces of advice U.S. municipal planners should follow when evaluating prospective affordable housing partners. Each is designed to yield information about private sector affordable housing providers’ capacity to balance financial and social interests before public-private partnerships are formed.
