Systemwide Social and Emotional Learning in Action
Systemwide Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) promotes a host of academic and behavioral benefits for K-12 students. Yet, many schools face barriers to SEL implementation. Through a research–practice partnership, this study provides insights into facilitators of and challenges to systemwide SEL implementation. We collected 652 field notes of SEL in action across twelve schools in the Northeast and Western regions of the United States between Dec…

Challenges and Opportunities in Collaborative Cross‐Sectoral (Healthy) Urban Food Environment Planning
The need to manage change in local food environments is increasingly evident in local government policies, including the demand for an integrated and “whole systems” approach. Land‐use planning is often used as a mechanism to promote health—both in the creation of healthy environments and the regulation of unhealthy food environments—for example, through facilitating urban food growing and managing the location and number of unhealthy food outlet…

Implementing Action Research in Physical Education
The responsibilities of a general physical educator can be challenging and at times overwhelming. Whether teaching a full day of general physical education, or inclusive physical education classes that include a student or multiple students with disabilities, the expectation is that all students will be provided age and developmentally appropriate curriculum based on continuous data collection and reflection. Adams et al. (in-press) identified an…
The post-war reconstruction planning of London
The replanning of London following the Second World War is, in many ways, a familiar story. However it has often been told in fragments, usually prioritizing the best-known plans and the involvement of Professor Patrick Abercrombie. This paper positions the replanning more widely, considering a hierarchy from region to specific locales, and the problems of fragmented planning within such a structure. It explores issues of agents, agency and autho…

A scoping review of the conceptualisations of food justice
Objective: The emerging concept of ‘food justice’ describes a social movement and a set of principles. It align with the goals of social justice, demanding recognition of human rights, equal opportunity, fair treatment and is participatory and community specific. The aim of this study was to investigate the conceptualisation of food justice and to explore how community participation is positioned in food justice scholarship. Design: A scoping rev…
Quelle contrefaçon rouennaise du Théâtre de Diderot a été imprimée par Louis-Joseph Oursel pour Pierre Machuel en 1770-1771
À la différence de Voltaire, Montesquieu ou Marmontel, Diderot n’est pas très représenté dans un dossier que met à disposition le Pôle Archives historiques des Archives départementales de la Seine-Maritime. Ce dossier, indexé 1 B 5532, s’intitule Imprimerie et librairie. Il offre des « arrêts, informations, pièces de vers (1699-1788) ». Il comporte en particulier une centaine de pages, qui s’étend de l’indice FRAD076_6213_0001 à FRAD076_6213_0101…
Revisioning and Rebuilding Britain’s War-Damaged Cities
This article presents an overview of Second World War bomb damage to British towns and cities and a systematic evaluation of the relationship between damage, revisioning, replanning, and actual reconstruction in a sample of cities—Bath, Birmingham, and Hull. Two were severely affected by aerial bombing as port/industrial targets, and the third for propaganda purposes as a historical city. Two had extensive plans produced by eminent consultants (b…

C. Kickert (2019) Dream city
Disability, Terror and Safety in the City
This paper responds to recent calls for further work on vulnerable people’s experiences of official planned attempts to create safe cities that are based on ableist assumptions. Go-along interviews elicited from people with cognitive, physical or motor impairments, together with interviews taken from built environment professionals are used to highlight the diverse ways in which differently disabled individuals encounter official efforts to creat…
Development networks and urban growth in small cities
Real estate development is an intensely social process dependent on rich networks of relations between public and private sector actors. Previous work has explored how far such relations are formalised in large cities through shared coalitions of interest intended to promote urban growth. Relatively little attention has been given to networks in smaller cities, which is the concern of this paper. Drawing on detailed research in a small Scottish c…
Walking with the ghosts of the past
Nostalgia has historically been negatively characterised by desire to reconnect with an idealised past lost to the ‘destructive’ forces of modernity, but studies across the social sciences have recently sought to re-appraise the creative and embodied significance of individuals’ recollections. This paper contributes to this developing debate by empirically exploring the value of individual remembering in relation to the urban material landscape. …
Learning about Learning
The development of policy rests on skilled practice by knowledgeable practitioners – ‘policy work’ – and it is important to know what skills and knowledge this work calls upon, and where these are learned. Although there is substantial academic knowledge and courses in this field, many practitioners will argue that policy work is ‘as much an art as a science’ and is something that ‘you learn as you go’. This article reports on an exploratory stud…
Observing Guerrillas in the Wild
Despite an emerging literature on guerrilla gardening as a political practice in public spaces, with few exceptions, these accounts theorise it as working against many corporate and bureaucratic forms of power. Using the example of ‘F Troop’—a group of gardeners operating on a site in an English midland city—this paper focuses on the practices of urban guerrilla gardening in order to illustrate that these are perhaps not as ‘resistant’ or ‘celebr…
Volunteered Geographic Information
Innovative geovisualization interfaces have created the opportunity for almost anyone with a reliable internet connection to generate and publicize their own maps and geographic information. Such advances have led to what Goodchild (2007) has come to term ‘volunteered geographic information’ (VGI): digital spatial data that are created by individuals who use the tools described above to disseminate their geographic data. Volunteered geographic in…
Guerrilla warfare in the planning system
This article extends Qviström’s (2007; Geografiska Annaler: Series B, Human Geography 89 (3): 269–282) ideas concerning “landscapes out of order” within a re-discovering and re-imagining of spatial planning theory and practice. Taking \nthe viewpoint that planners and decision-makers order and manage space in prescribed and constrained ways, the article argues that this can hinder innovative practices which have the potential to deliver significa…

Housebuilder Networks and Residential Land Markets
The commercial prospects of speculative housebuilders depend crucially on successful land acquisitions. This paper presents new evidence revealing the importance housebuilders attach to networks with other important actors in securing future land supplies. Since networks depend on trust, reputation and voluntary collaboration, they indicate the importance of social relations within the industry. The paper argues that UK speculative housebuilders …
Exploring the ‘Notional Property Developer’ as a Policy Construct
This paper explores how far policy-makers understand the structure of the development industry, the perceived characteristics of developers and the extent to which such actors can be considered policy-responsive. If these matters are poorly understood, the effectiveness of planning policy may be undermined, especially where the private sector is responsible for undertaking most development. The paper is based upon empirical research on the Scotti…
The ‘Wicked Problem’ of Planning for Housing Development
The problem of planning for housing development has never been wholly resolved in England but instead re-invented in different guises as successive governments have sought to reflect values and interests in ascendancy at any particular moment. This paper seeks to trace and explain how this has happened over the past 40 years, and especially between 1997 and 2010, by reviewing policy developments around the overall supply of housing land, the spli…
Planners as Market Actors
This paper challenges the dichotomous distinction between planning and the market promoted by mainstream economists, by arguing that markets should be seen as socially constructed not given. Drawing on recent developments in institutional and behavioural economics, it contends that what is required is not for planners to become market actors, but rather to realise they are already “market actors” intricately involved in framing and re-framing pro…
Community in Public Policy
Both internationally and within Australia public policy is experiencing a rush back to the idea of community. After 15 years of discourse about the new public management and economic rationalism a much older discourse is slipping back into public policy. It is a normative discourse about changing relations between state democracy, market capitalism and civil society in which the idea of community is a central ‘new’ relation used to manage both st…
Usable Knowledge in Public Policy
The range of usable information for public policy is complex and distributed but policy debate is still dominated by instrumental and centralised information constructed and controlled by functional and managerial experts—the creed of expertise. In recent years other types of ‘usable’ knowledge has begun to flow back into policy streams and in particular local knowledge (sometimes called community knowledge) is staging a major revival. This induc…

Ownership Constraints to Brownfield Redevelopment
The authors examine the nature and significance of ownership constraints within the urban redevelopment process. They suggest that such constraints derive from the distinctiveness of land as a commodity, the imperfect nature of the land market, the behavioural characteristics of landowners, and the institutional context for land ownership, exchange, and development. From this, they propose a common definition of ownership constraints as a basis f…
Brownfield Development
Over the past 30—40 years, urban change and deindustrialisation in advanced economies have created a legacy of vacant and derelict land that is increasingly seen as a development opportunity rather than planning problem. This paper investigates how the shared challenge of bringing such brownfield sites back into productive use has been interpreted differently in four countries: the US, Canada, Scotland and England. In each case, the particular po…

Knowing and Skilling in Contemporary Public Administration
Knowledge is the latest buzzword in public administration, yet contemporary debates demonstrate a poor understanding of how knowledge is constructed and valued and of how public administration knowledge frames are changing in response to major structural shifts in political imperatives. In particular the retreat from economic rationalism and the embracing of social and human capital ideas with the search for ‘third ways’ and ‘triple bottom lines’…
Assessing Institutional Relations in Development Partnerships
This paper interprets and develops contemporary notions of partnership in relation to Hong Kong's Land Development Corporation. It demonstrates how such agencies are likely to become overdependent on their private-sector partners or ineffective in policy delivery, unless endowed with adequate powers and resources. In this context, it suggests that the LDC's capacity to promote urban renewal was undermined particularly by the institutional require…
The Changing Regulatory Environment for Speculative Housebuilding and the Construction of Core Competencies for Brownfleld Development
Speculative housebuilding in the United Kingdom faces an ever tighter regulatory environment owing to the increasing impact of the sustainable development agenda. For example, 60% of all new homes in England are now expected to be constructed on previously developed land or provided through the conversion of existing buildings. As speculative housebuilders are responsible for about 80% of all new dwellings built in the United Kingdom, the achieve…

Housing Supply and Brownfield Regeneration in a post-Barker World
The findings of the Barker review, which examined the reasons for the undersupply of UK housing, have important implications for the devolved constituents of the UK, including Scotland. This paper traces the emergence of the brownfield regeneration policy agenda across the UK and examines how the Barker review connects with this brownfield policy focus. The paper compares housing and brownfield policies and practices in England and Scotland, plac…
Navigating the Future
In an increasingly volatile, uncertain and complex world governments internationally are seeking new frameworks to think about future directions which can guide policy choices that can be turned into realities.

Toward a global movement for a culture of peace
The culture of peace concept has been developing for 10 years at the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization and the United Nations (UN) since it was first described at Yamoussoukro in 1989. It calls for a transformation and development of alternatives to the values, attitudes, and behaviours that are necessary and sufficient for the preparation and elaboration of the culture of war and violence: the concept of power as …

Poverty — A Precarious Public Policy Idea
The mixed economy of the welfare state armed with the new science of public administration was going to eradicate poverty. But it hasn’t and the policy influence of the idea of poverty has fallen away. I explain this by looking at the conditions under which good ideas are likely to make it to policy status. Good ideas tend to be simple to understand; resonate with people’s experiences of life; have leadership and a policy community around them; f…
Alternatives to Competitive Tendering and Privatisation
The international trend towards economic and financial management reforms is well documented with most governments now being involved in public sector restructuring programs, which have at their core the aim of improving the quality of administrative functions through a more responsive approach by state agencies (OECD 1996). In nations with administrative systems derived from British models these efforts may be generally referred to as ‘the de‐Si…
Artificial Kidneys and the Emergence of Bioethics
This paper challenges the received view of the emergence of biomedical ethics as a distinct field. That account, championed by such scholars as David Rothman and Albert Jonsen, says that bioethics began when clinicians sought help from lay ‘outsiders’ because the traditional sources of medical ethics provided no guidance in deciding, for example, whom among many candidates should receive scarce haemodialysis treatments. Laypersons were expected t…

Prospects for Peace in the Occupied Territories
In May 1980, during a flare-up of tension in the occupied territories, an experienced commentator on the scene wrote in a British newspaper; Palestinians on the West Bank, after 13 years of this uneven battle, have at last found a unity and a sense of assurance which in the past has eluded them. Such a comment seems far removed from the reality of today, but it was an accurate reflection on the prevailing mood at the time. At the end of April, Je…

Public sector reform and the public interest in Australia
Contemporary public sector reforms in Australia have been dominated by efficiency, productivity and contestability considerations captured in the National Competition Policy (NCP). Both in the reform process in general and in the NCP processes in particular, the lack of priority attributed to non‐economic concerns such as co‐ordination, equity, representation, political accountability, consultation and distributive outcomes has been a serious omi…
