Using qualitative discourse analysis methodology, the article contributes critical analysis of visually mediated photographic representations of the multi-layered ‘digitization’ concept related to agriculture. In the sample of Austrian print and online media, novel digital farm technologies are mainly presented as a hope to transform food systems to help tackle challenges such as alleviation of heavy work load, foster competitiveness, or support sustainable rural development. Based on perspectives of Visual Geographies and sociologies of expectations in science and technology, the Austrian case shows that the media communication using images of agricultural technologies rather uncritically reproduce societal norms and expectations of how technologies provide solutions, often without specifying systemic complexities, risks and alternative approaches. In addition, it highlights the decisive role of expectations and the prominent role of private developers, affecting the creation of future paths of technology use in agriculture even in regions which are spatially and economically relatively unsuitable for widespread use of large, expensive digitally enhanced machinery like in many Southern parts of Austria. Therefore, the non-transparent mechanisms of how expectations in discourses contribute to political decisions and research directions on agricultural technologies should be subject of further exploration.

ABSTRACTParticipatory planning and planning for resilience figure as major trends in striving towards urban sustainability. Yet, recent studies problematize citizen participation in planning for resilience, indicating the need for closer research on surrounding processes and the limits planners face in leading participants to sustainable outcomes. Providing a basis for cross-case learning, the paper examines five urban planning projects in Northern Europe that attempted to involve stakeholders in enhancing urban resilience via nature-based solutions. Considering structural factors that limit planners’ agency in the Nordic and (post-socialist) Baltic context, the results convey tensions between inclusivity and resilience as common challenges across cases that manifest in conflicts over landscape aesthetics, neoliberal contestations of space, and diverting priority setting of stakeholders. The paper argues that these challenges triggered creative strategies which unleashed potentials for transformative planning agency including attempts to gain legitimacy and stakeholder support, build environmental awareness and knowledge among stakeholder groups, and facilitate conflict resolution in stakeholder interactions.KEYWORDS: Participatory planningplanners’ experiencesustainable urban developmentplanning for resiliencetransformative agencynature-based solutions Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1 The literature on participation is well developed and informed by planning practice. As this has been covered deeply elsewhere, we point the reader to Luyet et al. (Citation2012) for a review with respect to environmental planning, including advantages and risks of participation. We also highlight the well-known ‘ladder of participation’ (Arnstein Citation1969) as well as ‘communicative’ (Healey Citation1992; Citation2003) and ‘deliberative’ planning (Innes and Booher Citation2016; Sager Citation2009), which provide crucial background to current debates around participation.2 While we generally refer to planners in their ‘public official’ capacities, one case had the particularity of involving planning practitioners in academia and in the private sector, which was immaterial to the results.

参与式规划和弹性规划是城市可持续发展的主要趋势。然而，最近的研究提出了公民参与弹性规划的问题，表明需要对周围过程进行更深入的研究，以及规划者在引导参与者实现可持续结果时面临的限制。本文为跨案例学习提供了基础，考察了北欧的五个城市规划项目，这些项目试图通过基于自然的解决方案让利益相关者参与提高城市韧性。考虑到在北欧和(后社会主义)波罗的海背景下限制规划者机构的结构性因素，研究结果传达了包容性和弹性之间的紧张关系，这是在景观美学冲突、新自由主义空间争论和转移利益相关者优先设置方面表现出来的共同挑战。本文认为，这些挑战引发了创造性的战略，释放了变革性规划机构的潜力，包括试图获得合法性和利益相关者的支持，在利益相关者群体中建立环境意识和知识，并促进利益相关者互动中的冲突解决。关键词:参与式规划规划者的经验;城市可持续发展规划的弹性;变革机构;基于自然的解决方案披露声明作者未报告潜在的利益冲突。注1关于参与的文献是很完善的，并在规划实践中得到了启发。由于这在其他地方已经深入讨论过，我们向读者指出Luyet等人(Citation2012)对环境规划的回顾，包括参与的优势和风险。我们还强调了著名的“参与阶梯”(Arnstein Citation1969)和“沟通”(Healey Citation1992;Citation2003)和“审慎”规划(Innes and Booher Citation2016;Sager Citation2009)，这为当前关于参与的辩论提供了重要的背景虽然我们通常指的是具有“公共官员”身份的规划人员，但有一个案例的特殊性是涉及学术界和私营部门的规划从业人员，这对结果无关紧要。为了保密和匿名，我们拒绝透露案件的身份。本研究由H2020社会挑战资助:[拨款号869764];Interreg中央波罗的海项目:[批准号14.5.2018 /26]。

Regional strategies, such as smart specialization strategies, can set the course for future diversification. Despite its importance, surprisingly little is known about how the underlying policy-making process affects the direction of regional strategies, i.e. the priority areas that regions aim to promote. As a consequence, the underlying reasons why certain regions have difficulties in developing adequate future-oriented strategies remain concealed. The purpose of this article is to provide a framework to unpack the policy-making process of regional strategy development and link it to the policy outcomes. The conceptual elaborations highlight that only by considering the features of this policy-making process, distributed across various actors with heterogenous interests and capabilities, can we explain why regions favour the promotion of certain types of path development over others.
