Abstract This paper focuses on how local council members consider public-public contractual spatial planning practices. Our approach addresses concerns over the depoliticisation of planning processes within a neoliberal governmentality. Our findings from three Nordic countries show that some of the council members accept being sidelined from contractual processes. Local council members may thus become

Abstract Most spatial planning systems are growth-oriented and focus on upzoning.

Yet downzoning may entail financial compensation for landowners losing their development rights. Understanding the legal and financial mechanisms of compensation schemes

Public Planner – A Deliberative Authority Planning Theory & Practice (IF 4.339) Pub Date : 2023-02-21 Raine Mäntysalo, Martin Westin, Hanna Mattila
Abstract Beyond merely mediating between particular interests, deliberative planners are in need of a firmer agency in shaping attention to common good concerns. However, locating such agency legitimately in the context of deliberative ideals is difficult, and not well supported by theory. A key problem is the weak conceptualization of legitimate forms of power-over, regarding the deliberative planners’

Truth, Lies or Allies? The Agency of Estimates Planning Theory & Practice (IF 4.339) Pub Date : 2023-01-09 Eric Keys
Abstract Estimates – whether a project budget or a patronage forecast – are problematic planning artefacts.

Both constructs, if allowed, constrain the planners’ agency in daily practice. These worldviews can be reconciled if estimates are acknowledged

However, insufficient attention has been given to one of the most interesting aspects of the planning-culture nexus, the potential of planning in integrating the social life of regions.

Abstract In settings of uncertainty and ambiguity, inequality and conflict, planners must be context-responsive and improvise. As yesterday’s routines fail to satisfy tomorrow’s demands, few prescriptive rules – no musical scores – dictate practitioners’ actions. Four cases from diverse settings show how planners can improvise “options analysis” by integrating moves of diagnosing value, leveraging

Abstract Historic Black cemeteries in the United States have been preserved and repaired by a range of philanthropic, community and government agencies.

We consider the roles of white planners and organizations in Black spaces through a case examination of a cemetery restoration planning process. We engage questions of
