Communicative and Agonistic Planning Theories in the Face of Populist Rhetoric
This article discusses populist rhetoric in the context of participatory urban planning. Populist rhetoric builds on emotionally charged expression and juxtapositions between ‘the people’ and ‘the elite’ including planners. In so doing, it poses a challenge to planners who have learned to follow the ideals of communicative planning, highlighting public, rational problem‐solving and orientation toward agreement. Recently, the agonistic theory of p…
Cultural Planning at 40
Municipal policies that impact cultural practices and resource allocations for cultural organizations, events, and public art are often determined through a process known as cultural planning, a practice that arguably began in the United States in 1979. This article examines cultural planning in the United States based on a 2017 survey and compares its findings with a 1994 study to identify ways cultural planning and the cultural sector have and …

Increasingly complex urban environments require cross-sector collaboration and cross-cultural dialogue, in addition to understanding a multitude of cultur…
The Emergence of a New Cultural Infrastructure
Formal organizational structures and patterns of production and distribution of culture typical in most major cities emerged with, and are patterned after, Industrial Age thinking and Eurocentric cultural forms. These modernist, hierarchical, centralized, mass-production-oriented models-that separate art producer from consumer-face unprecedented challenges. In this article I argue that urban cultural infrastructures, and the institutions and orga…

This paper surveys research in relation to the conditions and processes considered important in fostering creativity in a variety of contexts including cities, organizations, and learning environments. Two established schools of the arts, and their leaders, serve as case studies in the examination of milieu designed to foster creative thinking and work. The paper identifies ten characteristics found to be common in the formation of creative milie…
