Abstract Over the past two decades, the province of Ontario has deliberately upscaled regional governance by creating a firm framework of land use planning. This entailed plans at the super-regional level that protect a large Greenbelt, designate growth centres, and roll out massive transit investment. This laid the foundation for a “real existing regionalism” in which growth management was produced through multiple conversations, contestations, technological change and territorial restructuring. By all accounts, this regime did not produce a perfect safeguard against sprawl – ostensibly the reason for its existence – but it shifted the practices of regional actors in land use and transportation politics and changed the politics around densities. This regime, which was in place for roughly fifteen years and coterminous with the reign of the Liberal Party of Ontario, has now come to an end. A new provincial government under Doug Ford and the Progressive Conservative Party has begun to redraw regional boundaries, to change the discourse around planning and growth management, and to remake transportation policy. This paper will provide a brief history and assessment of the shifts in recent Ontario sprawl-management regimes and will attempt an early analysis of the consequences for regional governance in the Greater Golden Horseshoe region of Ontario. In order to highlight the cutting-edge dynamics and consequences of these variegated regional governance regimes, we will have a focus on the suburban municipality of Brampton in the Greater Toronto Area. Brampton has a particular socio-economic composition that has the ability to reflect the ongoing political processes and socio-economic relations pertaining to the transformation of land usage over the course of suburban development in the GTA. We will focus on the regional aspect of this peripheral expansion, its governance as well as its link to the housing market dynamics.

Abstract Morocco provides an interesting framework for re-examining planetary urbanisation in relation to planning policies, which shape spaces that were considered “rural” until now. In Morocco, a country deeply affected by metropolitanisation, the agricultural areas on the periphery of major cities are undergoing rapid economic, social and landscape transformations. City growth is silently disrupting ways of life and economic activities, as well as rural-based social organisations. These changes are critical because Morocco is a country where agriculture and, more generally, “rurality”, is still vitally important. This explains why the relations between the city and the country are deeply affected by the regime’s contradictory new policies. These include: a neoliberal approach, which is undermining the political order for the sake of accumulation, draining the countryside and pursuing urban sprawl; and an authoritarian approach that is designed to preserve the social and political order and involves keeping a tight rein on the rural community, which traditionally supported the regime. To explore these contradictions, we examine the periphery on the east of the Rabat-Salé-Témara region, where the control of urban sprawl provides a particularly interesting perspective when analysing how the authoritarian state has developed in a context of laissez-faire regulation. When urban sprawl interferes with the limits between town and country and fragments peri-urban “grey spaces”, it becomes the focus of bitter negotiation between public and private actors, between social groups and between use value (for the rural population) and exchange value (for state-supported urban investors). The first part examines the power relations between the main actors involved in the urbanisation of Rabat’s grey spaces. The second part explores their impact on rural and farming communities in three successive phases. The first phase examines the recomposition of the state, with the new city model, using the case of Tamesna. The second phase examines the recentralisation of public action to consolidate the metropolitan influence, which involves the agency responsible for developing the Bouregreg Valley in a municipality on the outskirts of Salé. Finally, the third phase focuses on the challenges of reconfiguring state policies in response to the changes caused by urban spread. Here, we examine the case of two rural municipalities in the second ring: Shoul and Sidi Yahya des Zaers.
摩洛哥为重新审视与规划政策相关的全球城市化提供了一个有趣的框架，这些政策塑造了迄今为止被认为是“农村”的空间。在摩洛哥这个深受都市化影响的国家，主要城市外围的农业区正在经历迅速的经济、社会和景观变化。城市的发展正在悄无声息地破坏着人们的生活方式和经济活动，以及以农村为基础的社会组织。这些变化是至关重要的，因为摩洛哥是一个农业，更普遍地说，“农村”仍然至关重要的国家。这就解释了为什么城市和乡村的关系深受政权矛盾的新政策的影响。其中包括:一种新自由主义的方法，这种方法正在为了积累而破坏政治秩序，耗尽农村资源，追求城市扩张;另一种是旨在维护社会和政治秩序的专制手段，包括严格控制传统上支持政权的农村社区。为了探索这些矛盾，我们考察了拉巴特-萨尔萨梅拉地区东部的边缘地区，在分析威权国家如何在自由放任的监管背景下发展时，对城市扩张的控制提供了一个特别有趣的视角。当城市扩张干扰了城镇和乡村之间的界限，分裂了城市周边的“灰色空间”时，它就成为公共和私人行为者之间、社会群体之间以及使用价值(针对农村人口)和交换价值(针对国家支持的城市投资者)之间激烈谈判的焦点。第一部分考察了拉巴特灰色空间城市化过程中主要参与者之间的权力关系。第二部分分三个阶段探讨了它们对农村和农业社区的影响。第一阶段以Tamesna为例，通过新的城市模型来考察该州的重组。第二阶段研究公共行动的重新集中，以巩固大都市的影响力，其中涉及负责开发sal郊区自治市Bouregreg山谷的机构。最后，第三阶段的重点是重新配置国家政策以应对城市扩张带来的变化所面临的挑战。在这里，我们研究了二环的两个农村城市:Shoul和Sidi Yahya des Zaers。

Abstract Policy guidelines for controlling urban growth have, since the end of the late 2000s, been imposed on sub-Saharan Africa in international and national agendas. Like many other cities in sub-Saharan Africa, Nairobi is experiencing rapid demographic and spatial growth. Debates on urban sprawl are primarily concerned with the question of density, with attention to the extension of buildings and institutional real estate markets. This article focuses on what happens even before construction takes place, sometimes years earlier on the outskirts of urban agglomerations and on new urbanisation fronts far from urban centralities. Access to land is central to carrying out large metropolitan projects and supporting the accumulation logics of real estate firms, financial investors and individual entrepreneurs. It is also central in the transformations of local economies in contexts of a restructuring of agrarian capitalism. We intend to bring to light these trajectories of land capitalisation by analysing the practices and anticipation of land investors with diverse economic and informational resources, the circulation of financial capital and the resulting urban configurations.

Abstract Flat ontology has become an umbrella term for several theoretically based approaches, notably Delanda’s controversial reconstruction of DeleuzoGuattarian concepts. I highlight key divergences in Delanda’s “flat ontology” from that of Deleuze and Guattari’s “flattening” of multiplicities on a plane of immanence. The rhizome is arguably the concrete image of Deleuze and Guattari’s multiplicity, constituted by intensive relations, or becomngs, between heterogeneous singularities. A rhizomatic multiplicity contrasts markedly with the hierarchical dualism of the pseudomultiplicities of arborescent structures. Referencing Marston et al.’s “flat” site-ontology, I introduce sites as DeleuzoGuattarian eventspaces; emergent properties of entangled human and non-human relations and their capacities to affect and be affected. I select two spatial planning sites from urban fringe Australia, both of which involve significant transformation of (semi-)riparian habitat. One illustrates an arborescent system of thought and practice and the other a more rhizomatic approach which explores the situational potential of human/non-human encounters. I explore capacities of both sites to affect humans and non-humans and how the respective planning systems engage with them. I then question the possibility of rhizomatic planning practices, whether arborescence is inevitable, or whether a double-structure is possible, before concluding that a double-structure may afford glimpses of the bi-directionality or “flattening” of DeleuzoGuattarian multiplicity – “both/and” – an inclusive disjunctive synthesis of becoming.

Abstract This article explores three questions pertaining to ethics and flat ontology. First, what type of ethics might be appropriate to facilitating an inclusive ethics that acknowledges all interacting objects, not just the human, in the world. Second, by what method might a planning ethicist begin to achieve this understanding from a flat ontological perspective. Third, what, if anything, might a meta-ethical lens contribute to a flat ontological perspective. In addressing these questions, a type of assemblage theory called Onto-Cartography, developed by Bryant (2014), will be called on. Planning ethics are predominantly normative ethics concerned with producing a better world by articulating what ought to be done to achieve a desired future. Key here is who defines what is better and who benefits. Within vertical ontologies, these are inevitably human actants. In contrast, meta-ethics is a type of ethics that seeks to comprehend the nature of ethical evaluations so as to determine how a particular ethical value position has emerged in a particular context before attempting to establish what ought to be done. Our application of onto-cartography will focus on explaining, from the perspectives of flat ontology, how specific assemblages in their particular contexts generate their ethical value positions. We also briefly consider if, and how, meta-ethical concerns contribute to such perspectives. We conclude with a discussion as to how to deal with the necessary role of human actants to give meaning and value to ethics and what this implies for flat ontology.

Abstract In this paper, we explore the consequences of a flat ontology for planning theory and practice through the lens of Evolutionary Governance Theory (EGT). We present a perspective in which the ontological hierarchies assumed in planning and beyond are left behind, but also one that allows for understanding how hierarchies and binaries can emerge from and within governance and specifically planning. From this perspective, planning is conceptualised as a web of interrelated social-material systems underpinning the coordination of policies and practices affecting spatial organisation. Within this web, different planning perspectives and planning practices co-exist and co-evolve, partly in relation to the wider governance contexts of which they are part. We explore and deepen our understanding of the consequences of flat ontology by focussing on the interrelations between power and knowledge and the varied effects of materiality on planning and governance, as materiality can play roles ranging from latent infrastructure to main triggers of change. We conclude our paper by assessing the consequences for the positionality of planning in society, stressing the need for more reflexive and adaptive forms of planning and governance, and reflecting on what such forms of planning could look like. We argue that despite the abstract nature of discussions on ontology in and of planning, the conceptual shifts that result from thinking in terms of flat ontologies can significantly affect planning practices as it can inspire new ways of observing and organising.

In contrast to the Anglo-American emphasis of the handbook, the editors conclude that readers should keep a close eye on national planning cultures when developing planning curricula and appointing staff. Who, in the end, should read or, better, use this comprehensive handbook? The compendium will have a place in the library of universities, where the introduction of new planning degrees is under consideration, or where established programmes are under review. Members of accreditation boards would also benefit from the broad coverage of the handbook and the comprehensive, though almost exclusively Anglo-American bibliographies. Many chapters of the compendium describe the evolution of planning curricula. Hence the handbook will maintain its relevance for coming times as an important work of reference. One final comment: The handbook perfectly mirrors the mismatch between the notorious ambitions of planning educators to cover all of the broad spectrum of issues in urban and regional development practice and research in times of information overkill, and the reality of staff and time availability at universities in times of market-led environments.

Abstract A co-evolutionary approach has been gaining momentum in planning research and practice. Setting itself apart by going beyond the confines of government, starting from a level playing field, and refusing predefined outputs, it is a situational and relational approach through and through. Arguably, this strand of research has predominantly focused on forms of activism or radical planning taking place outside government-led processes, turning to the concept of self-organisation. This article, however, explores the possibility to reconnect a co-evolutionary approach to forms of contentious action occurring within or on the borderlines of the local government apparatus. In doing so, this article seeks to address an apparent gap when it comes to studying planning activism: forms of contentious actions where governmental actors collaborate with professional planning practices in challenging institutionalised methods, or commonplace procedures and instruments. Based on an analysis of two commissioned planning assignments in which the author was involved, this article aims to identify a set of reoccurring tactics mobilised to bridge social and spatial knowledge within local administrations. It does so by using four navigation techniques that can be deployed in an actor-relational approach (Hillier 2016) as an analytical framework.

It does so by using four navigation techniques that can be deployed in an actor-relational approach (Hillier 2016) as an analytical framework.","PeriodicalId":379677,"journal":{"name":"disP - The Planning Review","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114751817","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Abstract This paper seeks to pinpoint the consequences of the core principles of flat ontology for so-called expanded urban planning, on the basis of four case studies at the local level in the Nordic countries. However, these not only represent the local realms, as they are embedded in glocal networks. Urban development takes place in them through different forms of self-organisation, primarily outside the formal planning processes and official institutions, varying in terms of temporality and stages of emergence. We argue that expanded urban planning, which is based on pluralist realism, opens up methodological opportunities for a more agile and responsive planning system, potentially leading to more inclusive urban development. The comparative analyses indicate that the application of flat ontology comprises an expansion of the extent of planning, the importance of temporal dynamics in all stages of planning, the adoption of a variety of digital and non-digital methods and tools, as well as skilful deliberation of complex relations between assemblages. Thus, flat ontology should be called fat, as it makes the conceptualisation of planning manifold and deliberative instead of linear and hierarchical.
