Exploring polycrises through young people’s voices
This article examines the Covid-19 pandemic as, and as part of, polycrisis through the voices, experiences and adaptations of children and young people in São Paulo’s favelas. Based on participatory research with 44 youth aged 9–29 in Heliópolis and Paraisópolis (2022–2023), we analyze how overlapping health, educational, socioeconomic, political-institutional, and environmental crises intersected in their everyday lives. Through participatory re…
Learning from Covid-19 and planning post-pandemic cities to reduce pathogen transmission pathways
Unpacking planners' views of the success and failure of planning in post-apartheid South Africa
Calling for responsible inclusive planning and healthy cities in Africa
Urban planning is at a turning point The COVID-19 pandemic calls for an alternative approach which focuses on creating healthier built environments This is especially true in Africa given rapid urbanization combined with skill shortages in planning and underinvestment Connecting health and planning is not new across Africa Forty-five per cent of African countries experience at least one epidemic annually, including cholera, measles and malaria Th…
Decoding Syrian refugees’ Covid-19 vulnerability in informal tented settlements
Moawad and Andres argue for the need to construct more inclusive community- and/or refugee-led responses, the better to link planned and unplanned health emergency responses This discussion rests upon the combination of two research projects: a scoping small-scale research project about the impact of the current COVID-19-related policies and strategies from March to May 2020 in refugees' ITSs, coupled with a research study looking at Syrian refug…
Challenges, opportunities and legacies
Drawing on interviews with selected UK planning academics and survey results from current planning practitioners, this article provides valuable and timely perspectives on how internationalisation is experienced by those within and beyond the immediate institutional context. Although internationally focused planning education helps planners tackle the manifold urban challenges in the global South, the article goes on to argue that relational appr…
Transforming Cities Through Temporary Urbanism
Community Participation in Urban Planning
The Limits to Artist-Led Regeneration
Despite the burgeoning literature on creative cities, seldom explored is the context of cities rich in cultural capital but more orthodox in their approach to preserving the autonomy of culture. This article discusses the status of artistic spaces occupying abandoned industrial premises ('creative brownfields') in historic cities that traditionally shape their policies around prestigious cultural institutions ('cities of high culture'). Based on …
The creative economy in a context of transition
The Role of 'Persistent Resilience' within Everyday Life and Polity
As Europe's current economic crisis continues many households are developing new coping strategies in response to the pressures of everyday life. This paper explores such practices within Birmingham's Castle Vale housing estate, drawing on the increasing engagement within the social sciences with notions of resilience. This concept, originating from engineering, psychology, and disaster management, is increasingly used in urban and economic geogr…
Differential Spaces, Power Hierarchy and Collaborative Planning
Drawing upon collaborative planning theory and on the work of Lefebvre and de Certeau, this paper explores the multistage governance arrangements leading to the employment of temporary uses as an instrument for regeneration in a context of economic crisis. It contributes to a thorough understanding of the relations between the power hierarchy and the strategy/tactics developed through a more or less inclusive collaborative process from place-shap…
The Integration of Cultural and Creative Industries into Local and Regional Development Strategies in Birmingham and Marseille
Andres L. and Chapain C. The integration of cultural and creative industries into local and regional development strategies in Birmingham and Marseille: towards an inclusive and collaborative governance?, Regional Studies. This paper explores the nature of the integration mechanisms of cultural and creative industries (CCI) into local and regional strategies and policies in Birmingham (UK) and Marseille (France) over the last thirty years. Using …
Vers de nouvelles articulations entre plan territorial, plan d’urbanisme et projets urbains
Aujourd’hui, la notion de planification fait l’objet d’interprétations multiples quant à ses dimensions spatiales, aux échelles d’acteurs mobilisés et impliqués ainsi qu’aux modes de gouvernance. Parler de planification régionale et urbaine renvoie plus spécifiquement aux enjeux de la « planification territoriale » (la prise en compte des interactions entre la petite et la grande échelle), de la « planification participative » (la construction d’…
Marseille 2013 or the final round of a long and complex regeneration strategy?
European Capital of Culture 2013 is the last link in the chain of a 30-year regeneration policy for Marseille. However, despite the fact that Marseille is the core city of the application, Marseille Provence 2013 actually gathers 130 communes. The main objective of the article is to discuss the ground roots and the challenges of the application for the city and its urban area. The paradoxes faced by Marseille Provence 2013 as well as how the bid …
Alternative Initiatives, Cultural Intermediaries and Urban Regeneration
This paper discusses the role played by the cultural regeneration of a tobacco factory known as La Friche in the urban renaissance of Marseille. It builds an analytical framework to decrypt the extent to which the network and strategy building, the mobilization capacity and the project-making ability was developed in the two main episodes of governance by the cultural intermediaries Système Friche Théâtre (the collective in charge of the cultural…
Enjeux de la planification territoriale en Europe
Les dynamiques territoriales de l'étalement urbain, de la croissance et de la décroissance démographique, de la globalisation économique ainsi que de la démocratisation de l'action publique font appel à une conception sollicitant un grand nombre de disciplines et d'expériences locales. La notion de planification territoriale interroge l'efficacité des approches et des processus ainsi que l'articulation de différentes échelles spatiales. Comment i…
Cultural brownfields in European cities
This paper develops the concept of ‘cultural brownfields’ and discusses how organic cultural projects developed in derelict sites have been progressively included in mainstream cultural and urban planning strategies and policies over the last 10 years. To do so the paper assesses the transformation of three mature cultural brownfields in Berlin, Marseille and Lausanne and their distinctive internal and external dynamics. It develops a typology of…
Ville durable, ville mutable
Cet article confronte la notion de mutabilité à celle de durabilité au travers de l’analyse des transformations des territoires urbains en France et en Suisse. Il analyse les positionnements antagonistes, convergents, ou synonymes, inhérents aux interactions entre ces deux champs de l’action publique. L’intérêt du propos réside dans la confrontation, peu fréquente, des deux termes. En effet, la durabilité constitue un des référentiels incontourna…
Les friches
Les friches, qu’elles soient rurales ou urbaines, constituent une rupture, un vide, dans un territoire et une société. Toutes ont pour trait commun le fait d’être associées à un processus d’abandon, à une appréhension et un mode de gestion. Toutes peuvent être interrogées en tant que ressources perdues ou futures, par rapport à un système de valeurs (économique, foncier, symbolique, idéel, ...). Ce n’est pas tant l’origine des friches, industriel…
Friches en ville
La réappropriation des friches urbaines, durant leur temps de veille, par des acteurs informels, constitue un paradoxe prégnant pour les institutions en charge de la planification et des politiques urbaines. D’un côté, ce réinvestissement contribue à reterritorialiser et à revaloriser ces espaces délaissés. De l’autre, la superposition progressive des différentes stratégies de reconversion bouscule l’agenda de la planification. L’analyse des fric…
Gestion des risques naturels et prise en compte du développement durable
Cet article questionne la nature du lien envisageable entre risque naturel et développement durable à travers l’étude du territoire du sud grenoblois, soumis notamment à deux aléas naturels majeurs : le mouvement de terrain de grande ampleur dit des « Ruines de Séchilienne » et les probables crues de la Romanche et du Drac. Trois étapes structurent cette réflexion questionnant la transition supposée entre une gestion des risques naturels et une g…
Natural hazard management and sustainable development
This article examines the nature of the possible link between natural hazards and sustainable development through a study of the area to the south of Grenoble in the French Alps, a zone subject to two major natural hazards: the extensive landslide known as the "Séchilienne Ruins" and flooding from the Romanche and Drac rivers. More specifically, the study analyzes the assumed transition from the management of natural hazards to the sustainable ma…
Temps de veille de la friche urbaine et diversité des processus d’appropriation
Cet article analyse la manière dont le temps de veille de la friche urbaine complexifie les rapports public-privé initiaux entre la municipalité et le propriétaire. La permissivité de la friche est propice à l’émergence de processus d’appropriation de la part d’individus ou d’associations, à vocation culturelle ou non, qui façonnent de nouvelles formes de régulations territoriales. Cette dynamique est discutée à travers deux études : la plateform…
