Abstract

Abstract Consistent with ideas of urban shrinkage, many town centres have experienced years of increasing vacancy due to the loss of brand name retailers, and a crisis has emerged as conditions have deteriorated. This paper makes conceptual and practical linkages to the related “smart-decline”/“rightsizing” literature to provide insights regarding the challenges of town centre shrinkage and the strategies and governance structures required to realise the opportunities arising. These conceptions/ideas are applied through case study analysis, with the findings suggesting that adopting “smart-decline”/“rightsizing” concepts/ideas provides an important new lens for future town centre research.

城市中心的“智能衰落”/“正确规模”规划:战略发展和研究的新视角?

与城市收缩的想法一致，许多城镇中心由于品牌零售商的流失而经历了多年的空置增加，随着条件的恶化，危机已经出现。本文在概念和实践上与相关的“智能衰退”/“正确调整规模”文献进行了联系，以提供有关城镇中心收缩的挑战以及实现所产生的机会所需的战略和治理结构的见解。这些概念/想法通过案例研究分析得到应用，研究结果表明，采用“智能衰落”/“正确调整”的概念/想法为未来的城镇中心研究提供了一个重要的新视角。

期刊介绍： Planning Theory & Practice provides an international focus for the development of theory and practice in spatial planning and a forum to promote the policy dimensions of space and place. Published four times a year in conjunction with the Royal Town Planning Institute, London, it publishes original articles and review papers from both academics and practitioners with the aim of encouraging more effective, two-way communication between theory and practice. The Editors invite robustly researched papers which raise issues at the leading edge of planning theory and practice, and welcome papers on controversial subjects. Contributors in the early stages of their academic careers are encouraged, as are rejoinders to items previously published.
