Over the past 60 years or more, planning practice and scholarship has focused overwhelmingly on cities and urbanisation. As we live in the so-called “urban age” (Brenner & Schmid, 2014), this urban emphasis is understandable as more of us live in urban rather than rural places, and cities are viewed as critical motors in the global economy – places of innovation, a critical mass of hard and soft infrastructure, and home to diverse talent. In this context, the spatial imaginaries of planning are focused on urban space and place, while planning practice has moved beyond a narrow land-use regulatory role to embrace place-making, spatial coordination, or development delivery. However, despite planning practice’s “urban accent,” the basic question of how we use land, including land beyond the city, should be of core concern. How we use, own and manage our land is fundamental to how we live. As noted in the OECD’s (2017) comparative study of land-use governance:

Abstract Increasing environmental crises due to climate change calls for bridging the research and operational logics of spatial planning and humanitarian response. This article explores how long-term spatial planning and short-term humanitarian responses relate to three facets of uncertainty that are particularly relevant in developmental contexts, namely epistemic uncertainty, ontic uncertainty, and ambiguity. The authors explore these facets through a case study of uncertainty, that of unexpected monsoon floods in 2018 and 2019 in Wayanad, a peri-urban hill district in Kerala, India. Through the case, they show that compounded uncertainty leads to ambiguity in action, but that this ambiguity can be ameliorated by a contextualised contingency planning approach. The authors conclude the article by outlining the approach in spatial planning that prioritises flexible and adaptable decision-making to enhance iterative organisational learning and action, as well as cross-sectoral dialogue to deal with uncertainty.

Abstract Drawing on verbatim transcriptions of over 200 interviews, the article systematically analyzes the use of the concept of “balance” in what planners and others say about the nature and role of planning and planners. Planning involves managing competing aims and economic interests in processes that are simultaneously political and technical: what many call “a balancing act.” Discourse analysis of the content and form of utterances involving the root balanc* suggests that the words people choose in describing planning can simultaneously reflect and obscure power relations and decision processes.

Abstract Consistent with ideas of urban shrinkage, many town centres have experienced years of increasing vacancy due to the loss of brand name retailers, and a crisis has emerged as conditions have deteriorated. This paper makes conceptual and practical linkages to the related “smart-decline”/“rightsizing” literature to provide insights regarding the challenges of town centre shrinkage and the strategies and governance structures required to realise the opportunities arising. These conceptions/ideas are applied through case study analysis, with the findings suggesting that adopting “smart-decline”/“rightsizing” concepts/ideas provides an important new lens for future town centre research.

Abstract The urban research community tends to view gentrification-based displacement as the primary demographic impact of urban regeneration. This study reopens the discussion by asking whether urban regeneration in Israel does indeed work to the detriment of local homeowners, or whether it expands their opportunities for social mobility. By employing a micro-simulation model based on data pertaining to the households and the existing and planned apartments in the city, the study finds that whereas low-income residents are expected to be displaced, most of the middle-income homeowners will survive the process and benefit from a new apartment.

This article seeks to examine the legal implications of the inclusion of the term “ beauty, ” as regards the built environment, in the National Planning Policy Framework ( “ NPPF ” ) 2021a. The NPPF sets out central government ’ s planning policies and how they are expected to be applied by local authorities 1 in England. References to beauty in the NPPF 2021 have doubled compared to 2019 which used the term fi ve times, exclusively with reference to the natural environment or open space. Contrastingly, the fi ve new mentions refer to beauty in the built environment, 2 implying that not only does the government see beauty in the built environment as a separate category to beauty in the natural environment, but that the former is equally important to central government planning policy. objective finding based on established architectural principles, and adorning a building with the epithet ‘ beautiful ’ , which is a subjective one. To my mind, my finding that the building would attain a very high (or exemplary) standard of design is sufficient to justify a conclusion that the proposal does not fall foul of Government advice on the subject in the Framework, the National Design Guide, and the National Model Design Code. 10 As an Australian Academic teaching in Architecture and Sustainable Design, and with practice experience in large scale public engagement and participatory design, this contribution seeks to highlight the different cultural interpretations of Beauty that contemporary planning might wish to consider. This contribution speci fi cally highlights the cultural beliefs of Indigenous Australians and is informed by my time living for over a year in a remote Aboriginal Australian settlement in Australia ’ s north where I conducted participatory planning contracted by the Northern Territory Government.

Robert Goodspeed ’ s Scenario Planning for Cities and Regions argues that the challenges posed by climate change, technological change, and sustainability goals “ requires breaking from past planning approaches ” (p. viii). Traditional planning ignores the radical uncertainty of the future, preferring instead to extend current trends, leading to serious planning failures: “ homes fl ooded because they were built in areas thought to be safe from storms, public funds wasted on infrastructure to accom-modate growth that never materializes, or a mismatch between the types of housing units available and what people prefer ” (pp. 24 – 25). Grounded in understanding cities as complex adaptive systems that require diverse, collaborative participation to identify problems and solutions, and fl exible policy recommendations to adjust to changing future conditions, urban scenario planning, Goodspeed argues, represents nothing less than a paradigm shift for urban planning. – organized

When I wrote my last Editorial for Planning Theory & Practice (Grant, 2020), we were in the first waves of the Covid-19 pandemic. We knew that planning would be different coming out of the crisis. Sad to say, of the scenarios I saw possible then, my most pessimistic has been exceeded in dreadfulness: societies failed to contain the virus and its negative consequences. Today we face extreme social, economic, and political polarization exacerbated by inflation, health-care catastrophes, and climate crisis. What’s more, in a context where housing supply and affordability has become a significant issue in many nations, politicians increasingly call for “better planning” and ‘red-tape reduction’ as they systematically attack the fundamental principles of local self-governance and sound planning. Because of the need for effective government action, the pandemic presented an opportunity to change the dynamics of planning, to initiate a caring and responsive era. Instead, it proved a brief interlude in the march of capitalism. Although interim payment programs for unemployed workers illustrated the potential that effective social programs have to improve lives, governments rapidly resumed initiatives to support and promote private-sector interests. Events like the Russian invasion of Ukraine in early 2022 – with its impacts on energy supplies and costs – affected efforts to address climate change and feed hungry people worldwide. The growing strength of anti-scientific, authoritarian, and repressive political voices threatens the foundations even of long-standing democracies. As governments try to respond to the housing crises that the pandemic highlighted, many are eager to get construction going quickly. Political leaders seem to concur that planning – with its pesky regulations and careful oversight – constrains housing supply. Hence, we see a push for planning reforms from right-, centre-, and left-leaning governments alike. Politicians call for cutting red tape, streamlining approval processes, and building more housing more quickly. The political discourse reads like the developers’ playbook, deploying the language of enhancing certainty, increasing densities, reducing NIMBYism, cutting fees to local governments, enhancing design quality (at least in superficial ways), and improving outcomes. Local planning, with its messy participatory processes and attention to immediate environmental conditions, is cast as an archaic impediment to growth and its glossy counterpart “prosperity.” History reminds us that planning is far from benign. It has operated within diverse and sometimes repressive ideologies. In many regions, it provided tools of imperial and colonial control while serving narrow political and economic interests. Yet during the 20 century planning promised hope. It sought to become a progressive tool of national economic development but also of social development. Although critics identified the “dark side” of planning (Yiftachel, 1998), pra

Abstract The role of public education and schools in the struggle for spatial justice is underappreciated because school and neighborhood improvement have largely been viewed as distinct processes. This article builds a conceptual and empirical argument to explore the intersections of spatial and educational justice specifically in community development practice. We draw on qualitative data collected from a study of Baltimore’s twenty-first Century School Buildings Program and center meso-level actors – city agencies and the school district – to analyze how divergent theories of action that undergird community development can challenge cross-section implementation and coordination. We also reflect on potential pathways to align and integrate schools into community development practice. Our analysis contributes to understanding across disciplines by incorporating schools in the constellation of actors in community development practice, and in doing so augments foundational theories of urban justice and community development.
