ABSTRACTEurope faces the challenge of ensuring positive perspectives for all places and people. This requires rethinking cohesion, and the way cohesion is delivered. The Territorial Agenda 2030 offers a strategic reference point that sets priorities towards a more balanced, harmonious and cohesive development.

Planning systems are in a state of perpetual reform. There is a constant struggle over the form and operation of planning as interests vie to shape the distribution of costs and benefits of planning in their favour, and governments adapt instruments and policies to address new challenges and opportunities. Reforms have tended to widen the scope of plans, to introduce more flexibility and cross-boundary working and to engage with more stakeholders (Reimer et al., 2014; Nadin et al., 2021b). Underlying these changes are the effects of increasingly neo-liberal politics and the weakening of the welfare state, more influence of the market and less attention to public sector-led solutions in urban development and transformation (Waterhout et al., 2013; Olesen, 2014). The objective has been to simplify planning and reduce what is often described as the unnecessary burden of regulation on market actors. Nevertheless, planning is ‘an increasingly pervasive and indispensable activity’ (Phelps, 2021, p. 1), and there is increasing advocacy for planning as a key tool in achieving more sustainable and resilient development (OECD, 2017; D’hondt et al., 2020; WHO, 2020; Berisha et al., 2023). As always, there are opposing forces shaping the reform of spatial planning. From the turn of the century, there has been more turbulence in the conditions that influence the form of spatial planning in Europe. For the transition and small countries joining the EU since 2004 the changes are extraordinary (Maier, 2012; Stead & Nadin, 2011). Others have faced the brunt of the financial crisis of 2007–08 with forced austerity policies and liberalisation of regulation. The Ukraine war has accelerated the need for an energy transition in which planning can play a critical role (Asarpota & Nadin, 2020). The potential consequences of human-induced climate change have been brought home by extreme weather events, droughts and wildfires. The COVID-19 pandemic reinforced calls for planning to attend again to its roots in public health (Grant et al., 2022). And there is an undercurrent of global megatrends: demographic change through ageing and migration; increasing social polarisation and inequity; social and economic effects of rapid digitalisation degradation of biodiversity and critical environmental assets; a crisis in housing affordability; and above all, weaking democratic safeguards in government through populist politics brought about by gross unfairness between the winners and the losers. In this context of multiple crises, we should expect governments to be paying attention to how they can reform spatial planning so that it contributes to lowering socioeconomic and spatial inequalities and does not create them (Martin et al., 2022). This collection of papers offers a range of reflections on the reform of spatial planning systems in Europe drawing on the ESPON COMPASS project on Territorial Governance and Spatial Planning Systems in Europe (Nadin et al., 2018).

ABSTRACT How should we think about the well-being and associated economic development of areas that are not subject to market pressures for growth? What is the economy of a small town outside such demand pressures like? And what should be the role of local planning in such a context? The paper explores these questions through a case study of Shildon, County Durham in England. It explores the diverse economy of the town, including aspects of the Foundational Economy and the central role of civil society, through an analysis of local planning for business premises, new housebuilding and culture-led regeneration.

ABSTRACT This article considers the contested case of the Minhocão, São Paulo, to be either removed or turned into a park. The case provides insights for framing and planning literature. It is analysed through interviews, and media and document analysis. The results show that the involved actors adopt different framing strategies: adaptive, coherent, or deliberative. Each strategy has particular intended and actual audiences that help explain the dynamics of participatory contestation. Each strategy reveals choices in dealing with adversaries, who are present, and with intended audiences, who are largely absent. And each strategy has specific repercussions for learning and planning outcomes.

ABSTRACT Planning has a formal, legally defined component and an informal component developed in response to deficiencies in the planning system. Informal practices can contribute to the development of tools that would improve urban governance, especially in areas related to space. This article presents an overview of informal practices that have taken place in Polish cities and towns in recent years and offers an assessment of their impact on the quality of urban governance.

ABSTRACT The European Green Deal (EGD) is the most ambitious current challenge for regions and cities of the EU member states. While the role of regional spatial planning in addressing sustainable development and climate change mitigation has been widely investigated, an analysis of its ability to drive the green transition is still missing. The authors propose a new method to analyse how current regional plans meet EGD challenges and apply it to the case of the metropolitan area of Florence. The analysis reveals that, although plans cover EGD issues, there is still a need for more integrated tools and greater effective governance.

ABSTRACT Equity is a key concern for municipalities, yet current planning scholarship lacks clear, pragmatic guidance on how to identify inequity in municipal zoning bylaws. Although controversial, zoning is the primary legal tool to regulate land and its use. This study examines aspects of the current City of Edmonton zoning bylaw that are most inequitable by closely following the city’s ongoing Zoning Bylaw Renewal Initiative. Applying but also expanding the theoretical framework of equity and legal tests, the study provides a lens and a methodology to identify inequities in Edmonton’s zoning bylaw, which other Canadian municipalities can also adopt.

ABSTRACT Information and communication technologies (ICTs) have become an integral component of urban planning practice in the last 30 years. The applications, utility and fit of specific technologies within planning practice have been widely discussed, however the use of ICTs by planning practitioners beyond individual case studies is unknown. This paper explores the results of an online survey of Australian and UK planners and comparatively benchmarks the types and extent of use of ICTs in planning practice, and the factors inhibiting or enabling the use of different ICTs. The paper concludes with reflections on the relationship between ICTs and urban planning.

As retrofitting becomes a way to battle climate breakdown, and reusing and recycling the existing building stock becomes the norm (European Commission, 2021), understanding the role of the historic built environment in regeneration policy and practice is key. Spatial planning deals with a world full of context, and as spatial policies, plans and designs always require interaction with pre-existing conditions, one could argue that conceptually, all planning is heritage planning (Veldpaus et al., 2021). Whether you agree with that or not, it is clear that heritage is often and overtly mobilised as a catalyst in regeneration for economic development (Pendlebury & Porfyriou, 2017). Heritage policies are being integrated into planning policies to facilitate this. As heritage becomes seen as more useful in spatial development, the understandings and definitions of heritage, and its material and socio-political role in planning, change. Increasing policy integration between heritage and planning (Mérai et al., 2022; Nadin et al., 2021) means that it is likely that planning reforms impact how we deal with heritage. In the research we present in this special issue, we aimed for an assessment of the impact of fundamental reforms in urban planning and governance on the historic built environment. We address this in different European countries and examine practice in the decade post-2008, as the recovery of a global economic crisis instigated and exacerbated neoliberal and markedoriented planning (Getimis, 2016). In heritage studies, many authors have addressed the problematic nature of, and excluding ways in which, heritage and heritage narratives are selected, defined, and used within and beyond the built environment (e.g. Dicks, 2000; Pendlebury, 2009; Harrison, 2012; Meskell, 2015). We understand heritage as not just a ‘thing’, but a process of (re)enacting and mobilising some past(s) in the present – whether in material or immaterial forms. Thus, planning is critical in heritage making (or breaking). Heritage in this understanding is operational, it is being produced, and it produces. It has agency, and it is a tool. It is a means to an end, in spatial planning, and beyond. The state valorisation of heritage, for example, is intimately connected with the creation of the modern nation-state (Jokilehto, 1999; Pendlebury, 2009), giving heritage an instrumental purpose in getting people to bond to – or be excluded from – groups and places (Anderson, 1983; Hall, 1999). Over the past half century, heritage has become mobilised more explicitly as a means towards a wide variety of different ends. It is more and more used to create socio-spatial, political, cultural, and economic gains, and heritage is even put to work towards increasing quality of life and well-being agendas, and although we have to keep in mind that this may indeed work for some, it also works against the inclusion and recognition of others. This means that heritage is used for more things, a

ABSTRACT This paper examines the improvement of multi-stakeholder practices within Italian territorial cohesion and planning policy. The research used a qualitative approach for investigating and analyzing the case of the ‘Alta Tuscia-Antica Città di Castro Inner Area’, in the Lazio Region. Using a theoretical framework that combines the coproduction perspective in territorial planning with the concept of collective capabilities, the paper outlines recommendations to improve multi-stakeholder practices. Field and desk research suggested a shift towards a co-production perspective which strengthens the capabilities of territories for collective action.
