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

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

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

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

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

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

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

ABSTRACT This paper draws on the result of surveys completed by 323 households and a qualitative study of 21 households from upper (n = 7), middle (n = 7) and lower income (n = 7) households in Indonesia. This article employs practice theory to better understand the role of planning and infrastructure in food provisioning and food wasting practices. Results from this study indicate that there is a positive and statistically significant association between the self-reported amount of household food waste and income (X 2 = 27.30, p < 0.001). The study also found a statistically significant association between amount of food waste generated and certain types of retail (p < 0.000), with 75.9% of respondents who self-reported that they waste a ‘significant amount’ of food, shopping at supermarkets. In the Indonesian context, it is important to note that the choice or ability to access certain types of retail is income-related. Accordingly, food waste reduction interventions should consider the role of retail and income.

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

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