Making Places: From Non-Place to User-Generated Space Through a Diversity of Media
The prevalence of rich and dynamic multimedia information has dramatically accelerated the development of communicative non-places over the last 30 years. This has prompted planners to consider the question of how the long-term shift from a place-based to a non-place-networked public realm can be achieved. This article proposes the hypothesis that users of digital infrastructure in non-places create temporary non-places. In this process, a “non-p…

Mind the gap: Revitalizing action planning through social networks in Yogyakarta
Against the backdrop of increasingly complex urban systems, grassroot communities in cities are rolling out small-scale initiatives as a way to address contemporary urban problems. However, the initiatives are not always in line with the formal planning conducted by the government. This study aims to investigate the interaction between the government and grassroots actors under the context of self-governed grassroots initiatives by using the ‘Mar…
Public engagement, digital technology and transport: Engaging through open, early and experience-centred perspectives at scale
Public transport plays a significant role in people’s everyday lives for commuting, business, and leisure purposes. Increasingly, the way the public is able to access information about passenger services has been transformed through digitalisation. Despite these digital transformations there remain very few opportunities for people to become directly involved in shaping the design of public transport at an early stage to reflect their personal pr…
Urban infrastructure patching: Citizen-led solutions to infrastructure ruptures
This article explores how citizens respond to ruptures and problems in the places they inhabit by enacting adaptive improvised and incremental urban infrastructure patching. This might relate to citizens deciding to undertake small scale interventions in their communities to develop solutions to problems that are being overlooked by local government; or it might involve a community response to an ongoing systemic place-based problem that formal a…
Co-Designing Urban Planning Engagement and Innovation: Using Lego® to Facilitate Collaboration, Participation and Ideas
There is a growing academic interest in the idea of co-designing methods to achieve urban innovation and urban planning. As we see cities as “living laboratories,” beyond the control of elected city government, there is a momentum to develop and test shared responses to the social, environmental, and economic challenges present in contemporary urbanism. These living laboratories are a function of open innovation or “quadruple helix” actors, drawn…
Covid-19 and the rise of digital planning: Fast and slow adoption of a digital planning system
COVID-19 has had a traumatic effect on both the way people live and work in their everyday lives, and the way places function. The rapid transformation of employment practices, including the necessity to stay at home for lockdown periods, has given rise to increased digitisation and technological use to enable people to continue to work and to remain in contact with friends and colleagues. Digital planning, and the enhancement of digital citizen …
Re-imagining the future: City-region foresight and visioning in an era of fragmented governance
In this editorial we explore how the concept of the city region has evolved and what questions this raises for the role of urban futures, including visioning and foresight. The editorial and special issue highlight the importance of foresight techniques in city-region visioning, how power relations are shaped and transformed by these processes, and how important it is to link city-regional foresight with transitions theory and urban innovation, a…
The university and the city: Spaces of risk, decolonisation, and civic disruption
This paper responds to a recent EPA Exchanges paper by Eric Knight, Andrew Jones and Meric Gertler ( Knight et al., 2021 ). It concurs with their argument for the significance of economic geography for explaining the "local-global" dilemmas facing the university in contemporary society. In response, it will propose three additional optics for understanding the role of the university in the contemporary city. First, as a space of risk, where the n…
Whither regional planning
Planning is facing powerful challenges – professionally, intellectually, practically – in ways arguably not seen before. In this editorial we examine whether we have witnessed the withering away of regional planning. Our argument is that planning remains integral to the future of regional studies, but not in the form it once took. We argue for new approaches to planning regional futures. More broadly, this editorial and the Planning Regional Futu…
Let’s draw and talk about urban change: Deploying digital technology to encourage citizen participation in urban planning
Enhancing the role of citizens in shaping places has been a longstanding objective for governments, communities and the academy. Although a range of techniques has been developed by the state to give people an opportunity to get involved, these methods often struggle to create a meaningful way to communicate aspirations for places on citizens' terms. In this paper, we document the design, deployments and evaluation of a new technological device t…
Building collaborative platforms for urban innovation: Newcastle City Futures as a quadruple helix intermediary
There is a growing academic and policy interest in the notion of using cities as ‘living laboratories’ to develop and test responses to the social, environmental and economic challenges present in contemporary urbanism. These living laboratories are often assumed to function through ‘quadruple helix’ relations between varied actors from the public, private, university and community sectors. However, empirical research that explores the real-world…
Regional planning is dead: Long live planning regional futures
This paper starts from the premise that regional planning as it is known is now defunct and something that we need to get used to. Identifying those disruptive elements that have undermined traditional forms of institutionalized regional planning, it is argued that contemporary planning debates are too obsessed with the institutional planning frame and have become distracted from the changing content of the real-world picture. The aim in this pap…
Urban planning, public participation and digital technology: App development as a method of generating citizen involvement in local planning processes
There has been a recent shift in England towards empowering citizens to shape their neighbourhoods. However, current methods of participation are unsuitable or unwieldy for many people. In this paper, we report on ChangeExplorer, a smart watch application to support citizen feedback, to investigate the extent to which digital wearables can address barriers to participation in planning. The research contributes to both technology-mediated citizen …

The Heritage-creation Process and Attempts to Protect Buildings of the Recent Past: The Case of Birmingham Central Library
The successful conservation of our built heritage relies upon multi-scalar negotiation between a wide array of stakeholders and agents in the planning process. This negotiation reflects both the values that we ascribe to particular structures and landscapes, and choices about what to retain in response to social, commercial and aesthetic opportunities, preferences and aspirations. We are particularly interested in how redevelopment and regenerati…
Facilitating spaces for place-based leadership in centralized governance systems: The case of Newcastle City Futures
This paper explores how distributed and relational forms of place-based leadership can be facilitated in environments with \nconstrained local governance capabilities. It is based on an in-depth case study of a university-hosted collaborative platform \nsituated in a city/regional institutional landscape marked by limited local devolution and public sector austerity. The research \ncontributes to a fuller understanding of place-based leadership b…
Getting the Planners Off Our Backs: Questioning the Post-Political Nature of English Planning Policy
There is now a large body of work that seeks to understand the evolution of planning systems across the globe, particularly the adaptation of planning to/under varying forms of neoliberalism. Some of this research seeks to provide empirical insights into new state spaces and the actors that occupy them. Others have made theoretical explanation of the reform agenda their goal. In sum much of the literature now points to an academic understanding o…
Neighborhood Planning, Participation, and Rational Choice
The focus of this article is the development of neighborhood planning in England, in particular its guiding principle of local people as rational actors. The article looks at neighborhood planning in its own terms; that is, it looks at the rationality of engagement in a new system that seeks to tip the balance of rationality in favor of communities following the UK government’s aims of overcoming local resistance to the development of new housing…

Is Planning “Under Attack”? Chronicling the Deregulation of Urban and Environmental Planning in England
Successive attempts to reform planning practice in England have given rise to an impression that planning is “under attack”. Various academic commentaries have performed the valuable service of cataloguing aspects of this reform agenda, often within the context of the analytical framework offered by neoliberalization. In this paper, we seek to chronicle the cumulative effects of the sustained programme of neoliberalization to which urban and envi…

The collaborating planner?: Practitioners in the neoliberal age
Since the turn of the 21st century, there has been a greater pace of reform to planning in Britain than at any other time. As a public sector activity, planning has also been impacted heavily by the wider changes in governance. Yet whilst such reform has been extensively commented upon within academia, few have empirically explored how these changes are manifesting themselves in planning practice. This book aims to understand how both specific pl…

Deconstructing Communicative Rationality: A Critique of Habermasian Collaborative Planning
What has becomes known in recent years as communicative or collaborative planning has forged a new hegemony in planning theory. Described by some as the paradigm of the 1990s, it proposes a fundamental challenge to the practice of planning that seeks both to explain where planning has gone wrong and (more controversially) to identify ways forward. The broad approach itself and advocates of it have lacked the advantage of any critique. This paper …

Levelling the Uneven Playing Field: Inward Investment, Interregional Rivalry and the Planning System
TEWDWR-JONES M. and PHELPS N. A. (2000) Levelling the uneven playing field: inward investment, interregional rivalry and the planning system, Reg. Studies 34 , 429-440. Concern has been mounting recently over the increasing intensity of competition among British regions for foreign direct investment. This competition has been at its fiercest in the case of a number of recent very largest inward investment projects with public concern focusing on …
The Communicative Turn in Urban Planning: Unravelling Paradigmatic, Imperialistic and Moralistic Dimensions
The emerging paradigm of communicative or collaborative planning has dominated theoretical discourse since the early 1980s. Rather than one coherent position, there are a variety of schools that vary in their emphasis on different aspects of social and critical theory and their mixture of analyses and prescription. Critiques of communicative planning have been scarce and have challenged or questioned specific aspects rather than critiquing the pa…
The Politics of City-Region Planning and Governance: Reconciling the National, Regional and Urban in the Competing Voices of Institutional Restructuring
Issues relating to the governance of urban areas and regions have become of increasing interest to academics and policy analysts. In the global economy, urban and economic development matters are being interpreted within the governance framework. As a consequence of the lack of a formal statutory metropolitan political focus within the UK over the last 30 years, much of this debate has invariably focused on one scale: the city or the local. But t…

Architecture, banal nationalism and re-territorialization
This article concerns the relationship between architecture, territory and identity within major city-regions, and attempts to unpick notions of cultural and aesthetic meanings stemming from particular mega-projects. Debates over the form and function of major new architectural projects reveal ongoing attempts by territorial elites to re-narrate nations within the context of the re-regulation of sovereignty within Europe. To understand what these…
Discretion, Flexibility, and Certainty in British Planning: Emerging Ideological Conflicts and Inherent Political Tensions
In Britain, as the nature of the state's involvement in the spatial planning process changed to reflect political concerns (such as the need for employment-generating development or concern for the environment), so have the methods employed by the government to secure consistency, certainty, and continuity in policy execution. A desire to create more certain conditions for developers, the public, and investors through greater use of plans has bot…
If geography is anything, maybe it's planning's alter ego? Reflections on policy relevance in two disciplines concerned with place and space
In this paper we consider the relationship between geography and planning. The apparent distance between the two disciplines that presently exists makes such a review timely. We argue that geography and planning have more in common than is often recognised. We also consider and identify what the two disciplines can learn from each other. It is commonly recognised that planning can learn something of the art of the analytical from geography – that…

New Labour, New Planning? The Trajectory of Planning in Blair's Britain
The election of the 'New Labour' government in the UK in May 1997 heralded the start of a new opportunity and era for politics. A determination to modernise the institutions of Britain, associated with a commitment to foster social justice and community with concern for the market, has created a new ethos within government. Led by a Prime Minister viewed as embodying vision and change, the government has started to amend 18 years of Conservative …
Scratching the Surface of Collaborative and Associative Governance: Identifying the Diversity of Social Action in Institutional Capacity Building
Recent work on 'collaborative planning' has concentrated on applying Habermas's work on communicative action to the realm of urban and regional governance. This work has its parallels in other disciplines, notably geography, where institutional capacity building has been considered as part of local systems of governance. Both bodies of work are premised to a degree on the rationality of communication. Habermas contrasted his ideas on the possibil…

Dispelling a myth? Second homes in rural Wales
Second homes have been a source of considerable controversy in Wales for more than three decades. In this article we argue that they have, in reality, become less important in recent times, with the market contracting during the 1990s and other more fundamental demographic changes and housing pressures coming to the fore. Second homes are a highly localized issue, affecting a minority of communities – though, at times, quite severely. Retirement …
Globalisation, Regions and the State: Exploring the Limitations of Economic Modernisation through Inward Investment
Over the past 10 years or so, the UK has witnessed intense interregional competition for a small number of large inward investment projects. These projects, examples of foreign direct investment (FDI) from Far East Asia, have been relied upon by nation-states as panaceas to the economic problems being experienced within older industrial regions. Central government has adopted a non-interventionist approach to FDI and has rather encouraged regiona…

The Contested Strategies of Local Governance: Community Strategies, Development Plans, and Local Government Modernisation
The current round of local government modernisation in England, which commenced in 1997, has focused primarily on three main areas-new council constitutions, e-government, and performance. However, a fourth strand of initiatives relates to the power of well-being and the duty to prepare a community strategy, in partnership with a local strategic partnership. Academic commentators and planners, who have been focusing on the proposed UK planning re…
Post-Thatcherite Urban Planning and Politics: A Major Change
The political ideology driving urban statutory planning in the United Kingdom has held a central place within planning literature during the 1980s and 1990s. The distinctiveness of leadership style and political ideology associated with the Thatcher governments have been widely recognized both in practice and academia. However, the distinctiveness of political ideology to determine the form and status of statutory urban planning since John Major …

Public Scrutiny, Standards and the Planning System: Assessing Professional Values within a Modernized Local Government
Since the 1990s there has been a long‐standing concern in government towards public sector accountability, management, efficiency and service delivery. A number of studies have attempted to analyse the multitude of individual changes and their manifestations through analyses based on a variety of institutional, policy and governmental distinctions. This paper attempts to specify the changes with particular reference to planning, and to consider t…

Plans, Policies and Inter-governmental Relations: Assessing the Role of National Planning Guidance in England and Wales
The provision of national planning guidance from central government to local authorities and property developers to shape urban land-use policy and practice has been a feature of the planning system in Britain since the 1940s. This guidance, however, has not been released in any consistent form and has occasionally been subject to criticism by commentators. While the original role of national planning advice was to provide strategic direction, ce…
