Plans and policies rely on knowledge about communities that is often made by actors outside of the community. Exclusion from the creation of knowledge is a function of exclusion from power. Marxists, feminist, decolonial and postmodernist theorists have documented how the knowledge of some subjects is disqualified based on their gender, race, socio-economic position or a range of other constructed differences. Often, several of these constructions intersect in one person's life, compounding their exclusion in ways that are both relational and structural (Crenshaw, 2017). Participatory planning approaches bring members of the community into contact with planning authorities in an effort to include their voices and interests in official plans. Essential to meaningful engagement in such a process is the participant's ability to turn their ideas into change through the exercise of their agency. When that potential for transformation is missing, participation is tokenistic at best and dangerous at worst (Cooke and Kothari, 2001, Hickey and Mohan, 2004; Forester, 2020). When planners ask people whose agency is restricted by institutional and cultural forms of subjugation to talk about issues that adversely impact them, but over which they have little control, we can create exposures to internal and external risks that we are ill-equipped to mitigate. How can planners work towards social transformation without shifting the burden of speaking truth to power onto community members? One of the ways in which power and knowledge are related is through the complicated process of communication. Reflecting on power and communication in planning practice, this paper contemplates the question: when working with communities that have been historically excluded from the creation of knowledge about themselves, should planners strive for undistorted communication or should the distortion in communication be analysed for what it can tell us about agency and power, and opportunities for resistance and transformation?
计划和政策依赖于社区的知识,而这些知识往往是由社区之外的行动者制定的。排除在知识创造之外是排除在权力之外的一个功能。马克思主义者、女权主义者、非殖民化理论家和后现代主义理论家都记录了一些学科的知识是如何因性别、种族、社会经济地位或一系列其他建构的差异而被取消资格的。通常,这些结构中的几个在一个人的生活中相交,以关系和结构的方式加剧了他们的排斥(克伦肖,2017)。参与式规划方法使社区成员与规划当局接触,努力将他们的声音和利益纳入官方规划。在这样一个过程中,有意义的参与至关重要的是参与者通过行使他们的代理将他们的想法转化为变革的能力。当这种转变的潜力缺失时,参与充其量是象征性的,最坏的情况下是危险的(Cooke and Kothari, 2001; Hickey and Mohan, 2004;佛瑞斯特,2020)。当规划者要求那些机构受到制度和文化形式的限制的人谈论那些对他们有不利影响,但他们几乎无法控制的问题时,我们可能会暴露于我们无力减轻的内部和外部风险。规划者如何在不把向权力说真话的负担转移到社区成员身上的情况下实现社会转型?权力和知识相互联系的方式之一是通过复杂的交流过程。反思规划实践中的权力和沟通,本文思考了这样一个问题:当与历史上被排除在创造关于自己的知识之外的社区合作时,规划者应该努力争取不扭曲的沟通,还是应该分析沟通中的扭曲,以了解它能告诉我们什么关于代理和权力,以及抵抗和变革的机会?

This article theorizes the "narrative turn" in urban planning studies, using Gérard Genette's work to differentiate first- and second-degree narratives. Genette defines the latter as paratexts that determine the public's reception of the former. The article assesses how second-degree narratives work with different perceptual regimes to construct the reception of the political vision of territory. To that end, it resorts to the recent work of postclassical narratology. Indeed, the latter is particularly interested in the way in which the narrative, in various forms, affects its addressee. Postclassical narratology allows us to renew the theory of narrative in urban planning by focusing on what hypothetically happens in the consciousness of the receiver of the narrative when he or she becomes aware of it. Consequently, the paper sheds light on an emerging aspect of the design process: disambiguating signals embedded in urban planning documents intended for a wider public.

This paper provides a distinctive analysis of the value of international intermediation alliances for co-production, based on the way they operate in practice. While much attention is paid to ideal or normative models of co-production, there is less understanding of the complexities that pervade co-production practices in specific contexts or how this shapes outcomes. Despite longstanding critiques and reflection, international partnerships can reinforce unequal power dynamics embedded in already unequal global research and knowledge production circuits. However, such partnerships, despite their structural problems, can also give rise to more informal relations wherein the long-term value of international co-production inheres. We call for a re-examination of these complex sets of informal relations, beyond the structures of partnerships, that enable co-production across local and global divides. Drawing on comparative international evidence, we propose a framework for understanding and action based on the concepts of alliances, allyship and activism. These three characteristics of international co-production partnerships can constitute socio-material infrastructures that help maintain relationships of solidarity and care over time beyond the remit of individual projects. While this is relevant in any co-production context it becomes particularly important in international research projects so that they do not paradoxically reproduce colonising structures of knowledge production in the search for more just cities.

In this paper I focus on the Coyuca Resilient to Climate project which was based on a coproduction process initiated by academics in Acapulco’s Metropolitan Area. Using Actor-Network Theory (ANT), I trace project’s implementation, considering the implications and complications of the process for the research team, and the role of coproduction for planning just cities. I argue that it is vital to consider the specific situation with regards to the urban and knowledge production systems from which researchers operate, connecting coproduction to broader political and academic contexts. I also argue that it is crucial to consider the multi-layered structure of power, specifically regarding academics situated at the periphery of the urban and academia, as it is from this double structure (‘potestas’ and ‘potentia’), that they engage in coproduction and planning just cities. Lastly, I argue that knowledge coproduction relates to long-term processes that require nurturing capacities and alliances for building not only just cities and but also a more just knowledge system.
在这篇论文中,我关注的是Coyuca Resilient to Climate项目,该项目基于阿卡普尔科大都会区学者发起的合作过程。利用行动者网络理论(ANT),我追踪了项目的实施情况,考虑到研究团队过程的影响和复杂性,以及合作生产在规划城市中的作用。我认为,至关重要的是要考虑研究人员运作的城市和知识生产系统的具体情况,将共同生产与更广泛的政治和学术背景联系起来。我还认为,考虑权力的多层结构至关重要,特别是对于位于城市和学术界边缘的学者,因为正是从这种双重结构(“潜力”和“潜力”)来看,他们只参与城市的共同生产和规划。最后,我认为,知识协同生产涉及长期过程,需要培养能力和联盟,不仅要建设城市,还要建设一个更加公正的知识体系。

Transitioning to climate-neutral cities is difficult in practice, depending on complex urban activities and involving a vast range of stakeholders. Cities need ongoing support for assessing and implementing climate-neutral solutions. Following multi-country, collaborative academic workshops on this topic, we debate the use of new technologies and integrated planning approaches. We contour a preliminary framework underpinned by five key dimensions (urban nature; urban mobility; built form; energy; and circularity), triangulated with three research pillars: 1) citizen engagement, 2) city governance decision-making, supported by 3) digital technology. This essay proposes digital technologies as a bridge between bottom-up and top-down directions, challenges silo-thinking, and informs a cross-disciplinary, integrated climate-neutral planning process (in Europe).

Practices of insurgent or bottom-up planning, of community-based organisations, networks and social movements are understood to be peripheral to the dominant paradigm of planning in southern contexts. Yet there is a lot of knowledge collectively held and coproduced within and through these practices, which are also sites of knowledge production. This paper reflects on the process of coproduction of knowledge within a campaign for equitable urban planning in Delhi – Main Bhi Dilli Campaign. The campaign brings together urban actors with diverse positionalities – informal worker’s and resident’s collectives, researchers and academic actors, social movements, and civil society organisations, across sectors and lived experiences. In this paper we ask: how does co-production of knowledge take place at the scale of the city, and within a campaign with diverse membership and priorities? We reflect on the role of academic actors in such coproduction of knowledge. We draw from the archival material of the campaign produced through prolonged dialogue and practice-based research. We focus on one particular knowledge product that the campaign has produced called the Factsheets. Factsheets are 4-page documents that simply provide an overview of the theme (such as informal livelihood, housing, gender), and what the Master Plan can do to address the gaps in planning that exist. We use the ‘factsheets’ produced through the campaign, as an artefact of co-production, as a site that holds the processes of coproducing knowledge together. We reflect upon the processes of holding, contesting and channeling multiple knowledges within the campaign, highlighting the value of these internal processes for coproduction of knowledge. While the exact format and material may not be translatable in contexts with different social and political realities, we argue that the processes of coproducing knowledge for action while in a diverse coalition are useful across contexts for more equitable urban planning.

The article is aimed at discussing social innovation and co-production under a common analytical framework in order to contribute, without attempts of comprehensiveness, to the debate on how to indicate new opportunities to foster innovation in strategic planning. In the Paper co-production and social innovation are considered as mutual supporting elements in the creation of ‘trading zones’: spaces of strong interaction for mobilizing varied (and also conflicting) collective intelligence; middle ground spaces of confrontation able to institutionalize co-production and scale-up social innovation, in a long-term process that might transform how local institutions and strategic planning operate. Within this framework, the case study of Bologna in Italy is discussed, highlighting criticalities and opportunities in a city that has invested in specific planning mechanisms aimed at linking coproduction and social innovation within a common policy effort.

The management of peri-urban development has emerged as a new context of contemporary urban planning. Its dynamic and diverse nature presents major challenges and opportunities for urban sustainability. However, a more integrated framework for peri-urban planning has been progressing slowly. An examination of the epistemology of the landscape concept reveals three salient aspects of landscape relevant to multiple domains of peri-urban planning – the unifying, morphogenetic and socialised. Although landscape research has translated into peri-urban management, its full potential has yet to be realised. Among the three landscape dimensions, morphogenesis is relatively neglected. By foregrounding morphogenesis, the three epistemological orientations of landscape can be rebalanced and reintegrated to form the basis of a new planning framework for more continuous, harmonious and sustainable peri-urban development.
