Libraries Are Resilience Hubs
We explored the contributions of local public libraries to community resilience in the face of economic hardships, extreme weather events, and the COVID-19 pandemic using a survey of 415 library directors distributed through state library listservs in 13 Midwestern states, community-level census and presidential elections data, and library-specific data from the Institute of Museum and Library Services annual Public Libraries Survey. We found tha…
Tracking plan implementation using elected officials’ social media communications and votes
Plans can only impact practice when elected officials adopt, enact, and approve funding for specific strategies. We explore ways to track implementation from the planning documents to elected officials’ priorities and to their voting patterns to identify the consistencies and gaps that may limit the impact of plans. We use Twitter data mining, text content analysis, and voting records from the digitized council minutes in Calgary, Alberta, betwee…
Regenerating the Environment
Planners are in positions to lead the implementation of place-based environmentally sustainable practices. This paper explores the impacts of planners’ education, knowledge, and know-how on local sustainability implementation in practice, using a survey of 253 municipal planners. While most have basic factual knowledge, many do not have practical experiences with, and would not know how to undertake, a variety of sustainable practices. Formal env…
The Transgressive Urban Forest
City dwellers experience urban nature as controlled, romanticized, healthy, and disconnected from the global ecological crisis. The landscape aesthetics of ecological urbanism convey the message that cities can be integrated into natural ecosystems. We challenge this notion and propose alternative aesthetic principles of ecological provocation: a transgressive urban forestry model in which trees disrupt streetscapes to express the ecological stru…
Thermal planning
Campus district energy (DE) systems present opportunities to reduce energy costs, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, manage peak loads, and increase the share of renewable energy. We investigate the opportunities and barriers to expanding campus DE systems off-campus through surveys and interviews with 18 campus DE managers and providers, and a case study modeling heat demand near campus. The impact of DEs on buildings’ energy consumption reduction…
Plans Versus Political Priorities
Problem, research strategy, and findings Local elected officials play a leadership role in setting plan directions and can jeopardize implementation if they are not committed to plan goals. In this research, we apply topic modeling, semantic networks, and sentiment analyses to Calgary’s (Canada) plans and candidates’ social media communications in the 2017 Calgary municipal election to assess alignments or divergences between plans’ and candidate…
On Time and Planning
Planning seeks to shape sociospatial outcomes but is also, by nature, future oriented. Yet, planning theory and practice have paid relatively little attention to ongoing debates about changing social relations to time. Building on a wide range of disciplines, we review the multiple temporalities through which lives are lived, the modern imposition of clock time, postmodern acceleration phenomena in the Anthropocene, and their implications for pla…
Social Inequalities Related to Hazardous Incinerator Emissions
Environmental justice (EJ) research focuses on disproportionate population exposures to multiple point and non-point pollution sources. The hazardous pollutants released by waste incinerators can contribute to uneven (or unjust) spatial and social distributions of environmental risks. The EJ literature has already revealed that the geographical distribution of incinerators generates distinct social inequalities. In the French context, these inequ…
Bolstering environmental (in)justice claims with a quasi-experimental research design
Measuring Spatial Environmental Deprivation
Despite increasingly stringent environmental regulations, industrial and transportation emissions continue impact public health. Since vulnerable populations bear a disproportionate burden of environmental risks, spatial differentials in environmental exposure contribute to social disparities in health outcomes. Environmental Justice (EJ) analyses tend to focus either on the location of selected point or nonpoint pollution on a whole territory (t…
Discourse dynamics in participatory planning
Evaluating the Outcomes of Plans
Despite calls for performance-oriented and evidence-based planning, the outcomes of land use and environmental plans are rarely monitored or assessed ex post facto (that is, post implementation). As a result, planners cannot know whether or why plans achieve their goals, or learn from the results of past interventions to improve planning practice. This evaluation gap is caused by a lack of methodology to evaluate the outcomes of plans and the dif…
Environmental justice in a French industrial region
La distribution des risques environnementaux
Les risques sanitaires liés à l'environnement commencent à être reconnus en France. Le ministère chargé de l'Écologie et du Développement durable estime que 30 000 décès prématurés par an et 7 % à 20 % des cancers seraient liés à des facteurs environnementaux, comme les pollutions de sources diffuses (transports, utilisation de pesticides) et localisées (incinérateurs, décharges, sites industriels). Des inégalités sociales en matière d'exposition…

Evaluation of Public Participation
Public participation has become a central element of planning activity over the last decades. The planning literature has given considerable attention to participation in theory and practice, discussing its benefits for democratic governance, its multiple goals and criteria for assessing success. Although planning academics and practitioners understand the importance of participation and know that participatory processes often fail, the field of …
Deliberative Planning through Citizen Advisory Boards
Federal agencies are responsible for the cleanup of thousands of toxic sites in the United States and increasingly rely on Community Advisory Boards (CABs) to provide public participation in cleanup decisions. CABs, designed to function as collaborative and deliberative participatory mechanisms, have the potential to enhance democratic decision making. This study seeks to identify whether they successfully provide for two-way communication betwee…
What Makes Plan Implementation Successful? An Evaluation of Local Plans and Implementation Practices in New Zealand
Failure to implement plans has long been considered a significant barrier to effective planning. We examine two conceptions of success in plan implementation (conformance and performance), the effects of the implementation practices of planning agencies, and the capacity of agencies and permit applicants to bring about success. A key lesson from our New-Zealand-based evaluation is that implementation is somewhat weak. Another key point is that, i…
Natural hazard mitigation in local comprehensive plans
Purpose Natural hazards such as floods, wildfires and droughts disrupt communities, their economies and environments, and cost millions every year. The existing literature on hazard mitigation shows that community resilience is best achieved when mitigation strategies are integrated with land use and comprehensive planning. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of hazard mitigation in local comprehensive plans. Des…
Restoring straightened rivers for sustainable flood mitigation
Purpose This article aims to show how communities with severe river flooding can develop sustainable flood plans that remediate environmental problems caused by previous river straightening and other structural flood controls. Design/methodology/approach The article builds on a case study of the nationally recognized Napa River Flood Protection Project (USA), which incorporates an ecological living river strategy and builds on strong community pa…
Evaluating Plan Implementation
The planning profession lacks a robust methodology to evaluate the implementation of plans. This article proposes a conformance-based plan implementation evaluation (PIE) that relies on the analysis of plans and permits to provide a rigorous, quantitative, and systematic way of assessing the degree to which land use plans are implemented. We studied the implementation of stormwater and urban amenity management in six New Zealand plans by reviewin…
A Prerequisite for Participation
Current research and practice on participation assumes that residents are aware of local issues and informed enough to participate meaningfully. I challenge these assumptions and focus on public awareness and information levels as they affect public participation in environmental decision making. The author seeks specifically to demonstrate conceptually that participation requires awareness and information, empirically identify factors affecting …
