Practices of digital placemaking
Blending placemaking with digital technologies reshapes how people interact with urban spaces. While some argue digital tools can disconnect users from physical environments, others suggest they enhance spatial experiences. This study, grounded in non-dualistic theories of place, examines the impact of the Heritage Trail app at Battersea Power Station on users’ place connections. Using a qualitative case study, visitor interviews before and after…
On the need for caution in using ‘big data’ for built environment research
The study of the built environment is evolving with digital advancements and the emergence of a big data era, opening up new possibilities for planning practice and research. However, the integration of digital tools in research and practice calls for consideration of methodological questions. In this article, we compare two studies. One is our own ‘small data’ case study research and the other is a ‘big data’ approach recently published in this …
Delivering affordable housing through public-private partnerships
The sharp rise in housing prices and rents observed in numerous cities worldwide over the past decade has generated considerable debate on housing affordability. While housing affordability now holds a prominent position on political agendas, governments are grappling with the challenge of identifying suitable processes and participants to address this problem. Recognising that relying solely on private or public sector approaches is proving insu…
The governance of affordable housing through public-private partnerships
The debates about Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) in planning and housing are characterised by varying perspectives, with some considering PPPs efficient and others viewing them as inherently problematic. These differing views often revolve around the perceived dichotomy between public and private sector objectives and timelines. While dichotomies can provide initial clarity, they often oversimplify the nuances and complexities of real-world i…
The governance of urban regeneration in Lisbon
Urban regeneration is a complex and multifaceted phenomenon, and a field of public policy with profound impacts on people and places. While the literature acknowledges global and local forces of change, there is a predominant focus on the global – specifically, on globalisation and Europeanisation – with less attention given to the intricate interplay between global and local forces. Drawing on the urban regeneration literature combined with insi…
Hard, soft and thin governance spaces in land-use change
In recent years, converting office buildings to residential use became a high-profile issue in the UK and in the Netherlands. There has, however, been differentiation in the policy response between England and Scotland (planning policy being devolved within the UK), and the Netherlands. We conceptualize this differentiation through the lens of variegated neoliberalism in the forms of hard, soft and thin governance spaces. England, where planning …
Governmentalities of land value capture in urban redevelopment
Major urban redevelopment projects entail the drawing upon and coordinating of vast resources including land, capital, and expert knowledge. At the core of urban redevelopment emerge policy instruments, including Land Value Capture (LVC), that smooth the way for desired project outcomes. This article explores three major urban redevelopment projects carried out by different coalitions of societal actors, often depicted as having irreconcilable in…
Guerrilla urbanism, guerrilla governance
The work that place does
Writings on urban development and planning in Europe have been dominated by a combination of technical studies of the real estate sector and more structural political economy approaches on land expropriation and financialisation. In this paper we draw on the example of the London Landed Estates, to critically assess how land-owning real estate companies, that we call city-owners, perform their roles and what models and knowledge sources they draw…
Emerging problematics of deregulating the urban
Urban planning systems, processes and regulations are often blamed – by many mainstream economists – for constraining the supply of housing by interfering with the efficient allocation of land by the market and unnecessarily delaying development. In England, this orthodox view has influenced the government’s deregulatory planning reforms, including – since 2013 – the removal of the requirement for developers to apply for planning permission for t…
