In search of causality in the relationship between the built environment and travel behaviour. On the challenges of planning and realising an ambitious mixed-methods panel travel survey among relocating households in Germany Progress in Planning (IF 5.0) Pub Date : 2023-10-21 Joachim Scheiner, Susanne Frank, Verena Gerwinat, Oliver Huber, Petter Næss, Katja Schimohr, Veronique Van Acker, Annika Wismer
Household residential location changes have become an important life event to study changes in travel behaviour. However, most related studies suffer from the shortcomings of collecting retrospective pre-move data, i.e. recall errors and ex-post rationalisation of change. What is more, the overwhelming majority of research in the field relies on quantitative data that do not adequately reflect the

The conversion of buildings to housing use: England’s permitted development rights in comparative perspective Progress in Planning (IF 5.0) Pub Date : 2022-11-30 Manuela Madeddu, Ben Clifford
Faced with acute housing crises, some governments are inclined to strip away the ‘bureaucracy’ of planning, relaxing rules on the scrutiny of planning applications and seeking to accelerate the building of new homes. The planning that remains becomes a ‘client service’ for the development industry – a system of housing licensing that follows on from a basic consideration of legal compliance. Such a

The public interest- schools of thought in planning Progress in Planning (IF 5.0) Pub Date : 2022-02-08 Ailin Sheydayi, Hashem Dadashpoor
The public interest has traditionally been a key reason for the legitimacy of planning. Although planning theory and practice are always shaped by a particular understanding of the public interest, it is a concept that is decidedly hard to define. Over the past century, from the beginning of modern planning to the present, various theoretical traditions of thinking about the public interest have emerged
