Interweaving environment, heritage, and society through Cultures of Water . An introduction
Cultures of Water provide a particularly useful lens through which to perceive environment, heritage and society in conjunction within the scope of cultural studies, with special consideration for an essential and powerful actor: water. This special issue provides examples of a myriad of perspectives, manifestations and consequences of what Cultures and Water have been, are, and can be. This introduction delivers an overview of the special issue,…

Shrinking Cities for Economic Growth? Insights From the Housing Sector
This research focuses on examining how the pursuit of economic growth can contribute to urban shrinkage. In contrast to the prevalent definition of urban shrinkage that links population loss to insufficient levels of economic growth, this study examines the case of Coimbra, Portugal, where something different is happening. We hypothesise that Coimbra experiences population loss due to urban policies that promote economic growth through housing sp…
Beyond Car-Centred Adultism? Exploring Parental Influences on Children’s Mobility
Motorised traffic and car-centric environments restrict children’s commuting patterns and outdoor activities. This has adverse health consequences as it induces physical inactivity and reduces children’s well-being. Understanding parents’ daily routines and reasons to facilitate or restrict their children’s active and independent mobility is essential to improving children’s well-being and encouraging environmentally sustainable mobilities. This …
Who for rather than who with - how intended audiences help determine framing dynamics in contested planning
This article considers the contested case of the Minhocão, São Paulo, to be either removed or turned into a park. The case provides insights for framing and planning literature. It is analysed through interviews, and media and document analysis. The results show that the involved actors adopt different framing strategies: adaptive, coherent, or deliberative. Each strategy has particular intended and actual audiences that help explain the dynamics…
Living without commuting
Understanding experiences of a less mobile life under COVID-19 offers insights into the taken-for-granted meanings of mobility in daily life, and into new opportunities for low-carbon mobility transitions associated with working from home. Drawing on 50 written interviews, this article explores meanings attributed to living without commuting during lockdown, examining what people missed and what they appreciated. The results indicate that the maj…
(Re-)valuing and co-creating cultures of water
This article develops a transdisciplinary methodology for valuing and co-creating ‘tapestries’ of Blue Heritage. Given impending threats to the environmental sustainability and maintenance of Cultural Heritage surrounding oceans and freshwaters, it is increasingly urgent to develop a methodology that addresses the significance of the past and its rapport with the continuous future creation and valuing of what we here develop as ‘Cultures of Water…
Mobility values in a finite world
When considering the environmental and economic crisis humanity is likely to experience in the near future, it becomes inescapable to ponder the values guiding decision-making and policy-making processes concerned with mobility and transport futures. Existing suggestions tend to centre around what this article denominates mobility austerianism. This is a frugal transport-related societal configuration in which mobility is heavily restricted based…
Planning cities beyond digital colonization? Insights from the periphery
Endurance and implementation in small-scale bottom-up initiatives
This article studies how social learning can contribute to change, by applying the concepts of Turning Points and Critical Junctures to the pre-implementation lifecycles of small-scale bottom-up initiatives. It proposes that Turning Points, which have a relatively small immediate impact, and Critical Junctures, which have larger, more visible and more immediate effects, should both be considered crucial to the pre-implementation lifecycle of such…
Unpacking social learning in planning
Social learning is the process of exchanging and developing knowledge (including skills and experiences) through human interaction. This key planning process needs to be better understood, given the increase and variety of non-planners influencing planning processes. This article explores who learns what from whom through social learning in planning. We unpack social learning theoretically to be able to map it, and employ empirically-based storyt…
Maladaptive Planning and the Pro-Innovation Bias
This article argues that a more critical approach to innovation policy within planning is needed and offers recommendations for achieving this. These recommendations entail rethinking the values, focus, speed, and legitimacy of innovations. It takes a critical perspective on how contemporary societies treat rapid innovation as having necessarily positive results in the achievement of objectives such as sustainability and justice. This critical pe…
Urban streets
Today's urban streets are usually planned for purposes of mobility: pedestrians, as well as a variety of vehicles such as cars, trucks, and sometimes bicycles, are usually factored into an urban street plan. However, urban streets are also increasingly recognized as public spaces, accommodating street vending, food trucks, markets, artistic interventions, political expressions, comfortable benches, green spaces. Although these are mostly not new …
Decentralization, participation and deliberation in water governance
After the return to democracy in the late 1980s, Brazil developed a new system of water governance with a decentralization of responsibilities and the formation of participatory, deliberative institutions that characterized the governance reforms in general. Tripartite “water basin committees”, with an equal representation of state, municipal and civil society actors, are now responsible for water resource management in each basin and for decisio…
