Re-futuring” planning
Spatial Visioning
The contribution is a systematic literature review of empirical works on visions and vision-making. It provides a conceptual basis, meanings and interpretations assigned to the terms and highlights practical challenges involved in vision-based planning. Analyzing the state of knowledge on visioning produced in the last twenty years, the review not only outlines key conceptual elements but also the shortcomings and what more needs to be done for v…
Past, present and future of the Smart City in India
Notes on urban visions, the newer sites for discursive struggles
The paper analyses the visioning of the Greater Mumbai-2034 Development Plan (DP-2034) and its content. Our results suggest that visioning practice is essentially a discursive intervention embedded in interpretive struggles. The paper outlines the role of two key planning instruments, Floor Space Index-FSI and No Development Zone-NDZ, which materialised as discursive elements while Mumbai’s urban vision along a de-regulated and market-determined …
How to plan for discontinuity? Equipping ‘anticipatory assemblages’ with ‘archives of the future’
For more than two decades, critical planning scholars have called for strategic spatial planning to cut its rational roots stemming from the 1960s–70s, and counter its tendency towards more incremental approaches of the 1980s–2000s. To truly address the core challenges of cities and regions in our times, spatial planning should plan for discontinuity. This paper explores how planning may embrace futuring practices to do so. Drawing on three mater…
Model-theory interaction in urban planning
More than half a century has passed since the first use of models in urban planning. Most urban planners have agreed on using models either to simplify complicated systems or to make simulations of such systems in order to predict their future. There is, however, disagreement on how far such simplifications and simulations have worked toward the planners’ goals and objectives. In this paper, through historical analysis, we placed the model-theory…
Tangible and Intangible Boundaries
Instead of stressing that port cities are characterised by institutional fragmentations with many resulting conflicts, we claim that port cities might be highly constructive in terms of changing tangible and intangible boundaries. To capture this quality, we use the concept of ‘penumbral,’ a combination of perceptional aspects as well as tangible and intangible spatial constellations. This perspective is applied in the case of the Shanghai Baosha…
Urban flood resilience, a discursive-institutional analysis of planning practices in the Metropolitan City of Milan
Assessing social quality of sheltered independent housing
Forecasts for many cities and regions in Europe predict a growing share of 'elderly' people in the overall population. In addition to this general ageing process, the number of very old people is of specific importance for the issue under discussion. This article looks at sheltered independent housing and living. In particular, the article presents the results of a quantitative and qualitative multidisciplinary study of those facilities in the Ne…
Metropolitan vision making – using backcasting as a strategic learning process to shape metropolitan futures
Vision and creativity—challenge for city regions
International Changes and the Single European Market
The aim of this paper is to discuss the relationship and connections between international changes, the Single European Market and urban and regional developments in Germany. In the first part of the paper, the ongoing changes in the global political and economic system are described in broader terms, focusing on shifts in Europe. The assumptions of the Cecchini report, a discussion of its neoclassical orientation and critical comments on the lik…
