Spatial planning and governance in Timor-Leste
Spatial planning in new democracies offers an opportunity to discuss processes for territorial and local development. This paper reflects on the elaboration of the first municipal spatial plans in Timor-Leste, where process moved beyond technocratic and legalistic-based approaches to engage directly with multi-layered governance structures, power institutions, and local actors. It argues that in countries where spatial planning and democracy are …
The (Re)Industrialised Waterfront as a “Fluid Territory”
If delta and estuary areas are observed under the perspective of a double system of dynamic infrastructures, the object of parallel “water/urbanisation” processes, the interface spaces become key nodes. In this perspective, port and waterfront areas can be described as spaces of mediation. The article argues that in the case of Lisbon and the Tagus, as possibly in several other port cities, these edge spaces can be described as “fluid territories…
Beyond soft planning
Over the last decade, soft planning has become an increasingly visible concept in planning literature. Since the term soft spaces was firstly coined, soft planning has been used to describe a growing number of practices that occur at the margins of statutory planning systems. However, as soft planning-related literature proliferates, so does the diversity of approaches and planning practices it encompasses. Such diversity fuels long-standing ques…
A City Profile of Malaga
The relationships Malaga has established with its port have changed over the centuries, conjuring up a variety of scenarios and circumstances. The past and present are closely linked phenomena in this case study where the porosity of the port‐city fabric has marked the city’s development and constitutes a key issue in the current and future challenges it faces. Malaga provides a particularly interesting example of a post‐industrial city that has …
Confronting potential future augmentations of the physiologically equivalent temperature through public space design
A matter of degree
Discussion on legitimacy has highlighted its dialogic nature. The diversity of stakeholders in the penal system implies that penal policies and practices should be justifiable both internally (to offenders) and externally (to society at large). While most studies have focused on the internal aspect of penal legitimacy – the justification of authority through offenders’ perspectives – this paper calls for attention to the external stakeholders’ de…
