Connecting the ivory tower to the legislature: How to design planning research to influence urban policy and legislation in practice
Understanding Quality in Planning Consultancy: A Review and Synthesis of the Literature
Delivering quality is a central goal of planning. A substantial share of planning work involves private practitioners working in consulting firms. Accordingly, there is a need to contemplate the achievement of quality through complex modes of practice, such as work performed by temporary project teams drawn across client, consultant, and stakeholder organizations. Through a review of management and planning literature, and drawing on practice, we…
Information Use in Integrity Systems: Testing the potential for Automated Content Analysis of Local Government Documents
The transparency of local government decision-making commonly depends on the discovery and use of information by a wide range of participants acting within the surrounding local integrity system. The roles of external organizations (including the media, academics, and non-government institutions) in using information to perform oversight roles is an important characteristic of local integrity systems. However, even in a relative deluge of documen…
Freedom of Information for Planning Research and Practice in Australia: Examples, Implications, and Potential Remedies
Freedom of Information (FOI) laws are essential for democratic transparency and accountability of government. FOI, in theory, creates rights to access planning information held by governments, including records about land, resources, infrastructure, policy, and decision-making. FOI often escapes the full understanding of students, researchers, professionals, and advocates who may benefit from employing it. To bridge this gap, we profile FOI in Au…
Understanding and Planning for Freight Movement in Cities: Practices and Challenges
Planning for freight presents a perpetual challenge for governments. Understanding freight flows has attracted increasing research attention, though such knowledge can be difficult to translate to address problems in planning practice. This paper critically assesses the challenges of understanding and planning for urban freight movement, especially with reference to achieving more sustainable outcomes. In doing so, we elucidate guidance for broad…
