The links between urban planning, city foresight and wider state theory are explored and the implications of city visioning and long-term strategic planning in cities are highlighted. The focus in the chapter is on exploring the changing role that planning and city foresight might play within the future governance of the city, and how place-based leadership and place management can reinvigorate urban planning approaches.","PeriodicalId":300904,"journal":{"name":"Urban Futures","volume":"80 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130900464","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The role of a university in the city and its engagement in a ‘civic role’ has also been highlighted as fundamentally important not only in economic growth theory and innovation theory, but also in city visioning literature. In this chapter, the importance of cities as centres for urban innovation and urban experiments is examined, before looking at some of the most important spaces which have developed in cities for those activities, including innovation districts, living labs, urban rooms and science shops. The concept of place-based leadership and the role of the university in visioning, experimentation and innovation, are analysed before examining a detailed case study of urban innovation and civic engagement at Newcastle University.","PeriodicalId":300904,"journal":{"name":"Urban Futures","volume":"67 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128046545","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The chapter looks in more detail at what ‘city foresight’ really means in practice, what is meant by a ‘city vision’ and how such a vision can be developed with a range of techniques, including visioning and backcasting.

The quadruple helix framework is crucial to understanding how universities, government, civil society and universities can work together to create long-term city visions.

The growth and origins of cities are discussed, and this is supported by statistics and data covering the size and type of city in the UK and internationally. Firstly this chapter explores how cities may be formally defined (spatially and temporally, for example), and what cities represent in terms of their inherent characteristics; is a city a ‘process’ or set of ‘processes’ for example, or an ‘object’, or a ‘system’? The challenges and opportunities for a range of cities now, and in the future, are compared with those from the past. This chapter covers the forces for changes that have driven and are driving city visioning activities and urban foresight as part of this wider agenda. The overall nature and characteristics of these challenges is then explored, and the extent to which they interlink and cross-cut the city and city-region scale and beyond. This will also require new ways of thinking and planning for the future, and what is termed ‘city visioning’ will be an important part of this process. Finally, the chapter examines how urban policy and practice has responded and needs to evolve to meet these different challenges.","PeriodicalId":300904,"journal":{"name":"Urban Futures","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121568053","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
