I remain to be convinced that the time and effort needed to gain a working knowledge of Heidegger’s ontology and then apply it in a meaningful way to one’s practice as a planner is worth it. Perhaps I will never know until and unless I take that journey and then reflect on whether I have become a better planner. And I suspect that if I remain unconvinced, as an academic planner with more time than most to take such a journey, then few if any practitioner planners will choose to make it. But Low does offer some interesting observations on the place of planning in the contemporary world. He reformulates Patrick Geddes’ trilogy of place, work and folk into the slightly more modern assemblage of people, planet and place and while he devotes considerable attention to feminist conceptions of nature, the environment and planning, he is surprisingly silent on the Indigenous history of Australia and Australian cities and of the processes and legacies of colonial settlement. By the end of Low’s book, I was still ambivalent about whether it is helpful or worthwhile for planning academics to adopt a particular philosophical position as the foundation for their approach to planning, or to advocate the work of a particular philosopher as a foundational element. In my case, I was introduced as an undergraduate planning student to the work of Karl Popper and have retained an interest in the application of his work to planning and to planning theory, especially his epistemology of empirical testability and falsifiability as the hallmark of scientific or objective knowledge and his critique of totalitarianism. Low’s application of Heidegger’s philosophy probably seems equally old fashioned to many of today’s planning scholars, but he is to be commended for trying, with some success, to connect it to the actual practices of planning rather than the imagined practices that seem to underpin much contemporary planning theory. If you have the time and money, Low’s book is worth the read.

Things are changing in the field of urban research, whereas once there were few established female voices (see, for instance, Sandercock 1975, Harman 1983, Fincher 1990, Sandercock and Forsyth 1992, Jacobs 1993), there are nowmany. In Australasia, these range – from senior University leaders such as Ruth Fincher, Robyn Dowling and Michelle Thompson-Fawcett who have helped elevate a new generation of women within the academy, to mid-career and emerging scholars such as Michelle Lobo, Virginia Marshall and Lisa Stafford whose critical perspectives shine a light on the need for diverse voices to bring about deep change across universities and urban and environmental policy more widely (Stafford 2019, Marshall 2021, Lobo 2022). It is no coincidence that in recent years there has been increasing awareness among urban researchers – but also within our journals and university departments – of the need to ensure that the story of our cities is told and interpreted by a range of voices. From the sciences to the humanities, there is increasing recognition that academic publishing and citation practices have reflected and also reinforced systemic patterns of bias and exclusion within the academy. Often cited examples include the under-representation of women on editorial boards and among reviewers, as well as the well-documented gender mismatch of grant funding success (Lundine et al. 2018 provide a useful review). The editorial board ofUrban Policy and Research (UPR) acknowledges the gender gap in academic publishing and the complex drivers of this gap. In this 40th year of the Journal, we aim in this Editorial to initiate a conversation about scholarly practices of research andwriting in the field of urban research – how it is changing, and what future change could occur? We consider current conversations within feminist urban scholarship and across academic publishing more broadly, about patterns of bias in authorship and citation practices. We then reflect on the body of recent work published in UPR to explore and document the changing gender diversity of authorship in the journal. Using lead authorship as a measure, we examine the gender balance of papers published in our journal over the first 20 years of this century. We contemplate the implications of this analysis for the changing scholarly community that UPR is serving, and what a journal like UPR needs to consider as it seeks to becomesmore inclusive and more representative of the changing urban academic landscape in Australasia.

We are currently facing significant challenges in environmental management that must be addressed to maintain the health of our planet and our population. While carbon offsetting in its various forms is widespread globally, few countries have fully legislated and put into operation other offset policies. This edited collection aims to fill the gap of knowledge on environmental offsets, from theory to practice. Environmental Offsets addresses four major forms of environmental offsets – biodiversity offsets, carbon offsets, offsetting the depletion of non-renewable resources and offsetting the destruction of built heritage. The authors discuss their research and provide case studies from around Australia and across the developing world. Using examples such as the Sydney Olympics, the Bakossi Forest Reserve in Cameroon and green roof gardens, this book highlights the strengths and weaknesses of environmental offsetting and illustrates how jobs can be created in the offsetting process. Environmental Offsets is both a historical source in our understanding of environmental offsetting and a guide to the way forward. It illustrates what works, what does not and what can be improved for the future.

ABSTRACT When communities face infectious disease outbreaks such as COVID-19, their resilience is largely dependent on their social vulnerability. Housing, which functions as a precipitator and outcome of vulnerability, needs to be considered in this context. Using geospatial data, we developed a housing vulnerability index which demonstrates that COVID-19 transmission hotspots in Melbourne are potentially related to where and how people live – which in turn impacts their capacity to isolate. This analysis provides a means of both retrospectively and prospectively highlighting socio-spatial vulnerabilities that can impact transmission, suggesting that addressing some of Melbourne’s housing problems might reduce COVID-19 transmission.

ABSTRACT Cities worldwide are increasingly adopting the 20-minute neighbourhood concept within broader sustainable urban development strategies. However, there is limited understanding of how the concept has been operationalised in cities that have adopted the concept nor of the outcomes to offer guidance to new locations considering uptake. This paper reports on a content evaluation of how the 20-minute neighbourhood concept has been operationalised in planning documents of the 33 cities worldwide that have adopted or are considering the concept. A general lack of implementation with measurability nor statutory policy weight to support planners to enact the concept in practice was found.

ABSTRACT Planning should deliver urban infrastructures that nurture places and people. However, the misalignment between strategic plans and delivered projects reveals critical governance gaps, with little clarity surrounding for whom and what ends infrastructures serve. This positioning piece proposes an infrastructure governance research agenda focused on the integration of planning, funding, and social legitimacy of projects, and the reality of multiple ongoing crises. Most importantly, the proposed research agenda calls for a First Nation voice at the heart of infrastructure decision-making as part of the planning profession’s contribution to the Treaty process that Australia desperately needs to move forward.
