introduction strategic spatial Planning in uncertainty theory and exploratory Practice
Town Planning Review, 2011Co-Authors: Alessandro Balducci, Luuk Boelens, Jean Hillier, Torill Nyseth, Cathy WilkinsonAbstract:The papers in this issue develop practical and theoretical ideas about strategic spatial Planning in uncertainty. This Introduction contextualises the papers in terms of spatial Planning and the uncertainties that Planning practitioners face as they attempt to cope with the messiness of strategy-making and implementation. The authors explain their understanding of post-structuralism and how it differs from the pragmatist theoretical foundations of other scholars. The five papers are introduced through the use of recurring themes. The Introduction concludes by proposing that post-structuralist ideas can work to improve Planning Practice in conditions of uncertainty, provided that key elements are in place.

web 2 0 and social media growth in Planning Practice a longitudinal study
Planning Practice and Research, 2013Co-Authors: Wayne Williamson, Bruno ParolinAbstract:This paper looks at the growth of web-based communication for Planning Practice in local government over a three-year period. Despite communication with the community being an integral part of local government functions, the types of communication being used are rarely monitored or analysed. This paper provides a longitudinal comparison of the types of web-based communication, including social media and smartphone applications being employed by local government in New South Wales, Australia, and investigates the activity and sentiment of Twitter accounts for a sample of local government agencies. The paper concludes with a discussion of the growth of social media.

economic social and environmental sustainability in development theory and urban Planning Practice
The Environmentalist, 1998Co-Authors: A D BasiagoAbstract:In ten years, more than half the world's population will be living in cities. The United Nations (UN) has stated that this will threaten cities with social conflict, environmental degradation and the collapse of basic services. The economic, social, and environmental Planning Practices of societies embodying 'urban sustainability' have been proposed as antidotes to these negative urban trends. 'Urban sustainability' is a doctrine with diverse origins. The author believes that the alternative models of cultural development in Curitiba, Brazil, Kerala, India, and Nayarit, Mexico embody the integration and interlinkage of economic, social, and environmental sustainability. Curitiba has become a more livable city by building an efficient intra-urban bus system, expanding urban green space, and meeting the basic needs of the urban poor. Kerala has attained social harmony by emphasizing equitable resource distribution rather than consumption, by restraining reproduction, and by attacking divisions of race, caste, religion, and gender. Nayarit has sought to balance development with the environment by framing a nature-friendly development plan that protects natural systems from urban development and that involves the public in the development process. A detailed examination of these alternative cultural development models reveals a myriad of possible means by which economic, social, and environmental sustainability might be advanced in Practice. The author concludes that while these examples from the developing world cannot be directly translated to cities in the developed world, they do indicate in a general sense the imaginative policies that any society must foster if it is to achieve 'urban sustainability'.

digital knowledge technologies in Planning Practice from black boxes to media for collaborative inquiry
Planning Theory & Practice, 2016Co-Authors: Robert GoodspeedAbstract:AbstractDigital knowledge technologies such as urban computer models, geographic information systems, and Planning support systems are often critiqued as black boxes whose use in Planning results in the domination of expert views over stakeholder perspectives. These concerns are not adequately addressed by collaborative Planning theory, which reflects Habermas’s problematic assumption that technology is primarily associated with instrumental rationality. Within the realm of Planning discussion Habermas’s concept of media provides a description of how to draw insights from technologies while minimizing their potential for oppression. However, conducting democratic inquiry with knowledge technologies requires moving beyond discourse ethics and fostering critical interaction between technology creators and Planning stakeholders, where choices about the process, goals and scope, representation, and epistemic norms are made jointly. These ideas are illustrated with three examples of knowledge technologies used...
