where is the vision critically exploring the professional role of the australian Urban Planner within a governance framework
State of Australian Cities National Conference 2007, 2007Co-Authors: Wendy SteeleAbstract:My aim for this paper is to critically explore the professional role of the Australian Urban Planner within a governance landscape. The paper is divided into three parts. In the first part I offer a sociohistorical review of the shifting role of the Australian Planner. The second part of the paper focuses on exploring the implications of these shifts for the professional role of Urban Planners within a governance framework. Finally, I conclude by identifying a number of potential avenues for future inquiry for better understanding the evolving professional role of the Australian Urban Planner, and the implications of the changes for sustainable cities and regions.

is eco village Urban village the future of a degrowth society an Urban Planner s perspective
Ecological Economics, 2014Co-Authors: Jin XueAbstract:In the degrowth literature, relocalization is widely considered as a strategic approach to transition to a degrowth society, and eco-village/Urban village is argued to be the spatial organization suitable for implementing localism. These debates on eco-village/Urban village as a vision for long-term sustainability have profound implications for the spatial development of our society. This paper aims to challenge this proposition from an Urban Planner's perspective by dwelling on spatial implications and planning process. It is argued that spatial decentralization can lead to various social and environmental consequences contradicting the multi-goals of a degrowth society. Localizing and decentralizing decision making in the planning process does not necessarily lead to a just and sustainable society. Instead, it is of importance to have multi-scalar strategies in the planning context to pursue degrowth. The paper concludes by pointing out the complex relation between paradigmatic societal transformation and spatial development, and the significant role that Urban planning can play in the transition to degrowth.

Land reclamation, farm mechanisation, rural repopulation: the shifting landscape of the Gharb Valley in Morocco, 1912–1956
EDP Sciences, 2019Co-Authors: Tenzon MicheleAbstract:This article investigates rural resettlement schemes implemented by the French colonial administration in the light of the relationship between major economic, social and demographic dynamics in the Protectorate of Morocco. It explores the ways in which the French colonisers transformed the rural landscape of the Gharb valley in Morocco’s Rabat region. I depict the spatial configuration of the several stages by which rural colonisation and agricultural modernisation took place in the region, in relation to the patterns of human settlement they produced. The initial spatial configuration of the Gharb, determined by French colonial policies through the official colonisation programme and its orientation toward extensive agriculture, was subverted by the massive introduction of water drainage and irrigation infrastructure. The construction of reservoir dams and the establishment of drainage and irrigation perimeters across the valley induced a concentration of private and public investments that led to rural modernisation in certain, delimited areas. To compensate for a rural exodus that was overcrowding the outskirts of major Moroccan Urban centres and for the lack of a local workforce available for employment on colonists’ farms, the French architect and Urban Planner Michel Écochard and his collaborators at the Service de l’Urbanisme conceived an ambitious programme of rural resettlements in the Gharb valley

planejamento e socialismo notas para uma biografia intelectual do Urbanista raymond unwin planning and socialism notes for an intellectual biography of the Urban Planner raymond unwin planificacion y socialismo apuntes para una biografia intelectual
2015Co-Authors: Luiz Augusto, Maia CostaAbstract:A Brazilian historiographical study exclusively devoted to the work of Raymond Unwin is unknown. The relevance of such a study is due to the known existence of flow of ideas influenced by the work of Unwin and his partner Barry Parker, which reverberated in Brazil particularly in Sao Paulo. This influx of ideas and propositions fueled the debate that would eventually create a field of scholarly knowledge in Sao Paulo regarding the production of built space in the state. Our endeavor is to focus our efforts to understand the political ideologies of Unwin, relating them to the English political context of the period of the 1920s on the one hand and, on the other, to the actual development of the science of planning. We will argue that the ethical, aesthetic, and ideological views constituted the basis for Unwin’s architectural‑Urban thinking. To this end we will seek to establish relationships between Britain’s social reformers and Unwin.
