It focuses, in particular, on the growing reliance on quantitative evidence in understanding urban problems, which have an impact on how cities are governed. The chapter shows how the calculative approach to viability illustrates the technocracy currently so prevalent in the English planning system. A reliance on numbers runs throughout the framework: in objective assessments of housing need, efficiency targets for local planning authorities, governance by statistics, and annual reports. It is viability assessments, however, that are so dominated by commercial calculative practices, particularly profit and loss.","PeriodicalId":336977,"journal":{"name":"Planning and Knowledge","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128095708","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}

Hurk","doi":"10.2307/j.ctvkjb1z8.9","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2307/j.ctvkjb1z8.9","url":null,"abstract":"This chapter zeroes in on the role of the public planner when it comes to closing contractual deals with public and private sector partners in urban projects where neither public nor private sector actors can realize their objectives on their own, hence often a form of cooperation is established through a contractual arrangement. Little is known, however, about how public planners manage the contracting process and how their involvement in contracts may change their role. We argue in this chapter that the role of public planners has become more than just that of ‘professional elites’ or ‘technocrats’ in this era of urban contractualism. Even in more established and traditionally strictly coordinated planning systems like the Netherlands, practitioners have dynamic roles, they push boundaries, and they have transformative learning practices based on contracts. We seek to develop a more sophisticated understanding of how public planners’ learning reflects to their expert knowledge. The chapter will draw this dynamic picture based on the diversity in shifting positions of contract making, shifting dynamics in contract making, and safeguarding mechanisms.","PeriodicalId":336977,"journal":{"name":"Planning and Knowledge","volume":"154 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130676754","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}

It describes the phenomenon of professional lobbying in urban planning in general terms. The chapter then draws on public affairs studies, outlining the broad spectrum of tasks of the lobbyist and identifying certain strategies and tactics of lobbying. To question the technocratic logics of contemporary urban governance, the chapter asks what the professionalisation of lobbying means and how it affects the planning process and the related decision-making process. The focus is on the Finnish context and especially on Helsinki.","PeriodicalId":336977,"journal":{"name":"Planning and Knowledge","volume":"74 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131720935","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}
