Sustainable suburban mobilities – planning practices and paradoxes
Cities are in transition towards more sustainable mobilities, and many city cores are beyond peak car. However, the suburbs are still largely car based. Although that planning principles for compact centres and transit-oriented development have been prevalent since the early nineties, there has been little progress towards more sustainable suburban mobility – nor. This is also the case for the Greater Oslo region. To understand this implementatio…
Sustainable mobility transitions in suburbia – exploring (dis)connections between transport planning and daily mobility
The development of low-carbon cities calls for a restructuring of their suburban hinterlands, and regional land-use and transport planning has become an instrument to achieve this. However, this restructuring has several social implications and is lived by people, who are expected to develop more sustainable practices. There are disconnections between planning practices and people’s everyday practices, of which the literature has provided little …
Grounding the compact city
In our article, ‘Diversifying the compact city’ (2023), we aimed to open a dialogue in human geography and beyond on how to broaden the scope of how we examine and critique compact urbanism. The insightful and constructive commentaries we received generated further reflection on the lived experiences of compact urbanism and the mutual benefits of constructive interdisciplinary collaboration on the compact city agenda. In this author response, we …
Architectural competitions and public participation
This paper examines how the use of architectural competitions may change democratic and participatory aspects in urban planning. This is operationalised by focusing on how architectural competitions impact procedural justice. The architectural competition is a process where only certain experts and professionals are included. We briefly outline how architectural competitions and planning ideals have developed over time to provide context crucial …
Diversifying the compact city: A renewed agenda for geographical research
The compact city has become part of the policy orthodoxy in dealing with climate change and other sustainability challenges, and scholars from a diverse set of disciplines have informed this policy through empirical research. In this paper, we argue that attuning research in this field to key perspectives and concepts in human geography and critical urban studies can help ‘diversify’ understandings of compact urbanism in ways that advance social …
The social context and politics of large scale urban architecture: Investigating the design of Barcode, Oslo
The well-known and much investigated rise of urban entrepreneurial policies has fuelled a transformation of urban spaces and landscapes, and has led to changes in the social composition of city centres. This is the case for Oslo, Norway’s capital, where increasingly urban policies are designed to attract transnational companies and those in the creative class. A key strategy to achieve this has been to transform the city’s waterfront through spec…
Analysing Place and Place-making: Urbanization in Suburban Oslo
Despite developments within planning theory challenging the ideal of the rational master plan it may be argued that there is still use for the production of knowledge through analysis in planning. However, the cultural complexity of today's planning contexts, and a move towards governance and entrepreneurial policies, makes it difficult to make places, to achieve social welfare and sustainability. Traditionally, the analysis of places has been do…
Governance and change on the urban fringe – special issue of Urban Research & Practice
There is increasing interest in sociospatial and sociocultural developments on the fringes of cities. Some studies focus on the emergence of polycentric metropolitan areas and others on changes in existing suburbs and the development of new suburbs and exurbs. At the same time, development and regeneration of areas on the urban fringes increasingly take place in a context marked by deregulation, privatization, and network-like modes of coordinati…
