Digital permeation of urban planning practice
The field of urban planning is currently undergoing a profound transformation driven by digital technologies. These are increasingly used to support and automate the planning process, and have the potential to reshape the nature of planning itself and impact the core planning values of equity, transparency, efficiency, and legitimacy. One pressing issue is the growing use of standards, not only in data formats, but also in the categories that des…
A conceptual framework for prototyping futures scenarios through narrative design of VR urban scenes
Designing 3D urban scenes for virtual reality (VR) offers the opportunity to improve the transference and usability of futures scenario narratives to multiple publics involved in urban planning. Nonetheless, the content and format of immersive and interactive strategies of VR environments differ from conventional scenario narratives, needing conceptual frameworks to convert such narratives into localised stories. This research explores how to enh…
The influence of the built environment in the social impact of the low emission zones of Madrid (Spain)
LEZ social impacts are connected to car dependence and the built environment. • Built-environment dimensions mediate LEZ exposure in Madrid. • Urban centrality dimension is linked to higher car usage in Madrid’ periphery. • Results support spatial assessments and LEZ integration with urban planning. • Social justice reflections should support – not oppose – sustainable urban models. Low Emission Zones (LEZ) are one of the main policies to combat …
Reassembling Collaborative Planning for Socio-Technical Transitions
Planning networks are the dominant instrument for collaborative planning scholars to describe distributed modes of social organization. This limited perspective cannot capture the diversity of collaboration forms that emerge in sociotechnical transitions. The paper proposes the actor-network concept as an alternative to assess which new forms of collaboration align planning with socio-technical transitions. Inspired by Actor-Network Theory (ANT),…
Archetypes of collaboration within urban transport system scenarios
When e-activities meet spatial accessibility
The high penetration of e-activities (e-working, e-shopping, e-leisure) has empowered people to overcome space-time constraints in daily routines, and this trend is growing. Accordingly, new knowledge is sorely needed to incorporate e-activities into accessibility planning and to define new conceptualizations, methods, and quantifiers that recognize digital and in-person accessibility in real life. This paper introduces the framework of “augmente…
Participatory mapping in exploratory scenario planning
Exploratory scenarios based on participatory approaches proved helpful in dealing with uncertainty and complexity in urban and transport systems. Such scenarios usually create coherent and manageable narratives that capture broad patterns and trends at global scales. However, significant difficulties exist in bridging exploratory scenario narratives with spatial and local realities, which is crucial for guiding policymaking in urban, regional, an…
Re-thinking the role of exploratory scenarios for adaptive policymaking
While scenario-building has proven useful in situations marked by considerable uncertainty in the context of land use and transport policymaking, additional research is needed to develop adaptive and dynamic scenario-building schemes. To address this gap, the present paper conceptualises an adaptive scenario-building approach that would facilitate adaptive policy responses by using exploratory scenarios as intermediate tipping points. An empirica…
Analyzing the impact of Low Emission Zones on modal shift
Although Low Emission Zones (LEZs) have been adopted to address the environmental challenge of improving air quality in urban contexts worldwide, limited attention has been paid to studying their effects on promoting a shift to greener modes. This paper aims to gain insight into that issue by studying the case of “Madrid Central”, a LEZ recently implemented in Spain. A survey campaign was conducted to explore changes in modal shift declared by re…
ICT use and spatial fragmentation of activity participation in post-Covid-19 urban societies
With the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, the use of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) came to dominate daily activities (e.g., e-working, e-shopping, and e-leisure). The intensive use of ICT might trigger higher levels of spatial fragmentation of daily activities, having significant consequences for planning purposes. This paper seeks to estimate how ICT use and habits affect the individuals' spatial fragmentation patterns in urb…
An end-user evaluation to analyze the effectiveness of cartograms for mapping relative non-motorized accessibility
Relative accessibility is a widely studied approach that recognizes access to major locations as subjective and shaped by individual circumstances (e.g., individual preferences, habits, and cultural norms). One missing element in the knowledge base is how relative accessibility can be effectively mapped for decision-making. To fill the research gap, this paper evaluates whether cartograms are an appropriate tool for mapping relative accessibility…
Evaluating the impact of urban design scenarios on walking accessibility
Walking accessibility planning is seen a powerful approach for moving towards sustainable mobility paradigms; however little attention is paid to determining which factors influence this accessibility and why. This paper addresses this gap between the theory and the practice, and evaluates how far variations in walking accessibility are related to four specific walking needs: attractiveness, comfort, safety, and ease-to-walk. Taking the ‘Centro’ …
Mapping disruptive long-term scenarios using a participatory approach
Although mapping long-term scenarios can be considered crucial in decision-making, its inclusion in planning processes remains a challenge. This paper aims to gain insights into this by showing a participatory mapping method that creates a dialogue and interaction space between stakeholders and experts. The research was based on three 2050 visions, taking as a case study the eastern sector of the metropolitan area of Madrid, Spain. The method con…
Combining walking accessiblity measures to map spatial inequalities
Evaluating spatial inequalities using a single walking accessibility measure is quite challenging. In response, the paper proposes combining two accessibility measures (real and potential) to provide additional insights into the identification and mapping of spatial inequalities. The municipality of Getafe in the Madrid Metropolitan Area, Spain serves as a case study. A questionnaire, administered via face-to-face interviews, recorded the residen…
E-shoppers and multimodal accessibility to in-store retail
Distance Decay Effects on Public Transportation Ridership in the Context of a Metropolitan University Campus
Metropolitan university campuses (MUCs) are of interest for policymaking given their general highly car-oriented nature, and the subsequent need to promote policies that enhance sustainable accessibility outcomes. Hence, a growing body of research has emerged over the last decade focusing on travel behavior associated with those metropolitan enclaves. However, limited attention has been paid to distance decay effects on modal choice in the contex…
Translating sociocultural transformations into historical maps on land use changes
While it is widely known that socio-cultural transformations have a spatial impact on geographical areas, limited attention has been paid to mapping such transformations. This paper aims to explore how historical maps of land-use changes can be excellent tools for this purpose. The Lafkenmapu area in Chile, which has undergone critical socio-cultural transformations over the last five centuries, served as a case study. A total of five historical …

SEA effectiveness in Spain
Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) is fairly well-established in Spain, informing decision-makers on the likely environmental consequences of their plans and policies. However, limited attention has been paid to the study of SEA effectiveness in Spain, particularly with regards to practitioner and stakeholder views. This paper aims to bridge this knowledge gap by gathering and examining views on SEA’s participatory aspects, the performance …
