This article analyses the academic concept of “soft spaces” from the perspective of traveling planning ideas. The concept has its origin in the United Kingdom but has also been used in other contexts. Within European Union policy-making, the term soft planning has emerged to describe the processes of cooperation and learning with an unclear relation to planning. In the Nordic countries, soft spaces are viewed as entangled with the logics of statutory planning, posing challenges for policy delivery and regulatory planning systems. This article highlights the conceptual evolution of soft spaces, specifically acknowledging contextual influences and the changing relation with statutory planning.

本文从旅行计划思想的角度分析了“软空间”的学术概念。该概念起源于英国，但也已在其他情况下使用。在欧洲联盟的决策中，出现了“软计划”一词，用于描述与计划之间没有明确关系的合作和学习过程。在北欧国家，软空间被视为与法定计划的逻辑纠缠在一起，给政策交付和监管计划系统带来了挑战。本文重点介绍了软空间的概念演变，特别是认识到上下文的影响以及与法定计划之间不断变化的关系。
