Exploring the challenges and potential of implementing community solar initiatives into Egypt’s urban subsidized low-income housing

Community action, counter-professionals and radical planning in the UK
This paper reconsiders the roles of ‘counter-professionals’ (Goodman 1972) in urban social movements, focusing on the generation of students, activists and planners involved in the UK’s community action movement from the late-1960s. The paper therefore provides the first historical account of the ways community action stimulated the development of a distinctive counter-tradition of radical planning in the UK, inspiring experimentation with new, a…
Promoting Social Sustainability of Urban Neighbourhoods
The growing significance of neighbourhoods in the urban planning discipline, alongside increasing attention to the social dimension of sustainable communities and societies, has brought to the fore the need to conceptualize socially sustainable neighbourhoods. In this article we reflect critically on the concept of socially sustainable neighbourhoods in two areas, namely definition and operationalization. We then propose a tripartite framework fo…
Durable inequality and the scope for pro-poor development in a globalising world
Cities are today undergoing major economic and spatial transformations in line with the requirements of global capital and neoliberalism. The main question to address in this scenario is: what is the scope for actions aiming to advance a more pro-poor agenda and curb the acute inequality found in the metropolises of the so-called developing countries? With that concern in mind, this paper examines the potentials and limitations of recent redevelo…

Reflecting Planning Practice & Research's broad readership, we wanted this edition to consider participation issues as seen by practitioners. With this in mind we brought together a roundtable of p
Why Bother with Good Works? The Relevance of Public Participation(s) in Planning in a Post-collaborative Era
The concern to ensure public participation or community engagement within and in support of spatial planning has been an ongoing and widely aired topic since at least the 1960s. The basis and justi
Governance and `Integrated' Planning
This paper explores the relationship between the increasing emphasis on the integration of social, economic, democratic and environmental objectives within planning practice and the emergence of new forms of networked governance. Using a framework which stresses the hybridity and tensions that characterise current governance arrangements, the article investigates attempts to create `sustainable communities' in the Thames Gateway, England. The ana…
Increasing participation in planning
This article seeks to explore the emerging picture of participation under the New Labour planning reforms. In many senses this may appear as a familiar story of the gap between rhetoric and reality
Whatever happened to criticism? Interpreting the London Docklands Development Corporation's obituary
The 'regeneration' of the London Docklands has a much wider significance not only for planning but also as a demonstration of a new socio-economic, political and ideological settlement. Yet it has not, of late, been the subject of the kind of detailed examination that Simona Florio and Sue Brownshill now provide
Local Governance and the Racialisation of Urban Policy in the UK
This paper examines the impact of changing patterns of local governance on black and ethnic minority influence over urban policy, focusing on Urban Development Corporations (UDCs) as one aspect of local governance. Evidence is drawn from a recent study of six UDCs. The paper concludes that a contradictory and variable pattern of black and ethnic minority influence is emerging, with processes of exclusion and inclusion occurring, and there is evid…
Developing London's Docklands
London's Docklands has been described as the largest redevelopment area in Western Europe. This book tells the story of that redevelopment and by doing so examines a number of critical issues concerning the regeneration of urban areas. From the first dock closures in the early 70s, the area has been the subject of various and competing plans. Since 1981, the London Docklands Development Corporation with its market-led approach has been charged wi…
