Abstract

Density in planning presents a series of conflicts in its use based on how it is defined and perceived. When codified into planning policy, however, it is conflictive due to how it manages strategic and local planning needs and the subjective experiences of density. This article researches the evolution of density policy in London, from the density matrix to the current design-led approach, examining how this conflictive discourse manifests and is resolved within planning practice. Extensive research of planning applications referred to the Mayor of London, known as called-in applications, examine the strategic and local conflicts in a design-led approach. To further inquire on the findings of the extensive research, semi-structured interviews were conducted to design officers across London local authorities to collect their experiences on the practice of density policies and the design-led approach in development management. The results of the planning application research show a tension between design-led approach and a strategic dominance to deliver more housing in London. The design officer interview explains further how this emerges in negotiations and signal into potential solutions. The article presents the deficiencies in density policy and proposes design-led tools to address the limitations of the current approach.

伦敦规划系统中密度的冲突话语
规划中的密度根据其定义和感知方式,在其使用中呈现出一系列冲突。然而,当被编入规划政策时,由于其如何管理战略和地方规划需求以及密度的主观体验,它是矛盾的。本文研究了伦敦密度政策的演变,从密度矩阵到目前以设计为主导的方法,考察了这种矛盾的话语是如何在规划实践中体现和解决的。向伦敦市长提交的规划申请的广泛研究,即所谓的申请,以设计为主导的方法来研究战略和地方冲突。为了进一步了解广泛研究的结果,对伦敦地方当局的设计官员进行了半结构化访谈,以收集他们在密度政策实践和开发管理中以设计为主导的方法方面的经验。规划应用研究的结果表明,设计主导的方法和在伦敦提供更多住房的战略主导之间存在紧张关系。设计官员的访谈进一步解释了这是如何在谈判中出现的,并预示着潜在的解决方案。文章介绍了密度策略中的不足,并提出了以设计为导向的工具来解决当前方法的局限性。
