Rethinking policy learning in urban policy mobility
Since the ‘mobility turn’, urban researchers have advanced our understanding of the contentious and relational nature of cross-border policy learning. Extant research has revealed how policy ideas move through transnational networks, social interactions, and informal dialog, forming assemblages of policy learning. Despite this rich literature that centers policy learning on policy circulation, we know relatively little about how learning unfolds …
New Municipalism and the Challenges of Design
This contribution adds a design approach to our understanding of emancipatory epistemologies within new municipalism. So far, the extant research has rarely discussed its specific opportunities and limitations, regarding their context‐bound formulation and real‐world implementation as a policy process. In contrast, the following article situates their emancipatory potential within the place‐specific ways in which multiple stakeholders define prob…
What changes over time? Planning history and institutional change from a policy design perspective
Since the call to take the analytical and theoretical values of historical institutionalism seriously, planning history research has emphasized the enduring legacies of critical moments that structure the developmental pathways of urban institutions, whose changes tend to appear incremental in the long run. Yet, most of this work is less conscious about deliberate – although not always successful – considerations by policy actors in formulating p…
The ‘European City’ at the Crossroads
This theoretical contribution explores the use of four analytical elements to understand European cities' commonalities and distinctive characteristics in the face of the challenges presented by structural global changes and supra‐national governance mechanisms: sovereignty, policy, politics, context. The article shows how institutional and contextual opportunities mediate globalization's repercussions to varying degrees at the urban level, accor…
How Context Matters
Participatory budgeting originally aimed to promote greater political representation and resource distribution for vulnerable populations. As it globally circulates, however, existing literature points out that its local interpretations and implementations often fall short of proper tools and mechanisms to advance its emancipatory potential. So far, the roles of different actors, objectives, and toolkits that contribute to diverging local experie…
The politics of living-with-difference
While much has been said about the structural and spatial dimensions of living-with-difference in the city’s diverse places, existing research has seldom addressed its situatedness within a wider institutional context of place-making that shapes the everyday conditions of our encounters and experiences with ‘others’. As a result, little attention has been paid to the political dynamics of the governance process that engender a context-specific de…
Labour and social inclusion paths for refugees. A comparison between Bologna and Vienna
Over the last few years Europe has faced the phenomenon of ‘forced migrations’, which has led to the establishment of reception systems and the implementation of integration policies to host asylum seekers and refugees. In particular, local authorities have sought to address the challenges posed by integration by putting in place innovative measures. By employing the concept of social innovation, this article provides a glimpse of the variety of …
