ABSTRACT

Strategic spatial planning (SSP) has been a key planning practice supporting spatial transformation globally. However, designing and implementing strategic spatial plans is a complex task. The process involves prioritizing planning intentions, establishing funding mechanisms and structuring governance settings, which take shape within power configurations. It is within this complexity that a participatory and integrative planning approach assumes increasing importance when addressing, strategically, societal challenges such as spatial injustice. Furthermore, a consolidated planning practice – that is the experiences in dealing with SSP are thought to influence how strategic plans are prepared and executed. Bearing in mind the influential role of preceding experiences in SSP processes as well as of participation, project promotion and policy integration, this paper synthesizes the results of a literature review reflecting three decades of SSP (1990–2020) in England. England has a well-defined history of engagements with SSP. The purpose is to discuss lessons learned from looking back 30 years and debate suggestions for how to design future SSP that account for public and private interests and align cross-sectoral policies. To overcome democratic accountability constraints and steering resource management effectively, this review pleas for more cooperative central–local relationships in shaping future SSP processes in England and beyond.

摘要

战略空间规划 (SSP) 一直是支持全球空间转型的关键规划实践。然而，设计和实施战略空间规划是一项复杂的任务。该过程涉及优先规划意图、建立筹资机制和构建治理环境，这些都在权力配置中形成。正是在这种复杂性中，参与性和综合性规划方法在战略性地解决空间不公正等社会挑战时变得越来越重要。此外，综合规划实践——即处理 SSP 的经验被认为会影响战略计划的准备和执行方式。铭记先前经验在 SSP 过程和参与中的影响作用，项目推广和政策整合，本文综合了反映英国 SSP 三个十年（1990-2020）的文献综述的结果。英格兰与 SSP 有着明确的交往历史。目的是讨论回顾 30 年的经验教训，并就如何设计未来的 SSP 以考虑公共和私人利益并协调跨部门政策的建议进行辩论。为了克服民主问责制的限制并有效地指导资源管理，本次审查呼吁在塑造英格兰及其他地区未来的 SSP 过程中建立更多合作的中央-地方关系。目的是讨论回顾 30 年的经验教训，并就如何设计未来的 SSP 以考虑公共和私人利益并协调跨部门政策的建议进行辩论。为了克服民主问责制的限制并有效地指导资源管理，本次审查呼吁在塑造英格兰及其他地区未来的 SSP 过程中建立更多合作的中央-地方关系。目的是讨论回顾 30 年的经验教训，并就如何设计未来的 SSP 以考虑公共和私人利益并协调跨部门政策的建议进行辩论。为了克服民主问责制的限制并有效地指导资源管理，本次审查呼吁在塑造英格兰及其他地区未来的 SSP 过程中建立更多合作的中央-地方关系。
