Abstract
Contemporary debates suggest that market liberalisation has led to an unfavourable urban planning environment that impedes the ability of public authorities to pursue the common good. To study the significance and potential impact of this, our central line of inquiry was to examine how the common good is manifested within statutory plans in Vantaa, Finland, between 2015 and 2019. Using a mixed methods framework coupled with a refined typology of planning approaches, our findings demonstrate that the common good is orchestrated through three development agendas: public, private and common. In doing so, this study provides insights into the scholarly discourse surrounding the impact of market liberalisation on planning and highlights the importance of developing comprehensive strategies to promote the common good in urban planning.
