By utilising the Māori proverb ‘ka mua ka muri’ for discourse analysis, we chronologically categorise regional development policies into three periods: pre-neoliberal reform, post-reform until 2017, and recent government investments in regions. Our study highlights recurring policy failures due to factors such as short-term political vision, and an emphasis on competitive over comparative advantages in resource allocation. To rectify past shortcomings, we propose a dual framework grounded in Universalism and Particularism, suggesting a national spatial strategy paired with tailored regional development policies.","PeriodicalId":46688,"journal":{"name":"International Planning Studies","volume":"28 1","pages":"281 - 298"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2023-08-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47503157","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 success of the 2016 G20 Summit has injected new spirit and connotations into the city’s image. The main purpose of the paper is to investigate how the summit affects Hangzhou’s tourism image and from what aspect it has improved the urban competitiveness of Hangzhou. The statistical data based on questionnaires shows that the G20 Summit does have a great impact on Hangzhou’s tourism development. Furthermore, multivariate factor analysis for the collected data reveals that the summit has the greatest impact on tourism resources and public transport in Hangzhou, which shows that the G20 has a long-term and sustainable impact on the city.","PeriodicalId":46688,"journal":{"name":"International Planning Studies","volume":"28 1","pages":"268 - 280"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2023-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44710714","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 publication trend was divided into three subperiods: the genesis period (1978–2004), the growth period (2004–2015), and the rapid growth period (2015–2021). The most significant conceptual evolution in the field occurred between 2004 and 2015. Three thematic clusters were identified: (1) urban policy and planning, (2) physical and ecological planning, and (3) demographic and regional development.

As a result, we revealed Lefebvre's blind field concept as a metaphor for blindness and illumination of territorial regulation to explain the coherence and disharmony of multiscale spatial plans, although in the integrated spatial management framework.

Augmenting these trajectories with two taxonomies of geodesign elements, we look for evidence of geodesign in a longitudinal descriptive case study. Analysis reveals a story of design and planning unfolding over a long period of time at multiple geographic scales interwoven with persistent conflict. The case revealed evidence of geodesign approaches and elements in historical planning and design. The events studied also led to high-quality outcomes that are diffusing regionally. Results of this investigation yield implications for improved geodesign practice and theory including broadening the discourse around geodesign to include time and conflict and expanding geodesign's theoretical frameworks.","PeriodicalId":46688,"journal":{"name":"International Planning Studies","volume":"28 1","pages":"239 - 255"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2023-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41693264","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}

This study is among the first research in Africa to examine the major drivers and prospects of over-urbanization. We determined the city's Land Support Capacity (LSC), social accommodation capacity, and crowdness using Yeats and Multiple Regression Models. The theoretical frameworks that guide this study are modernization and dependency theories. Findings showed that Addis Ababa is over-urbanized due to population growth, internal migration, weak economic structure, and policy failure. With an LSC of 0.017, the city is overcrowded, i.e. the population outnumbers the LSC. The regression model showed that household size and income had a significant relationship with crowdness. Effective urban development policies are necessary to balance population growth and economic development. This might be accomplished by curbing Addis Ababa's primacy rate and directing governmental investment toward secondary towns and rural areas.","PeriodicalId":46688,"journal":{"name":"International Planning Studies","volume":"28 1","pages":"162 - 177"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2023-02-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47448063","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}

This paper discusses the importance of understanding institutional and policy contexts affecting planners’ efforts to close water access gaps across communities in low and middle income countries. Three challenges combined complicate local governments action towards water access: decentralization of water policy, high levels of inequality and low levels of local capacity, what we call the ‘impossible triad.’ Our analysis of two programmes designed to address the needs of the most marginalized communities in Mexico shows that programme requirements still fail to consider local constraints. Prior to decentralization, policies designed to reduce water access inequality relied on national government provision of municipal water infrastructure. Decentralized water policies differ, presenting severe institutional challenges for even the most well intentioned planners. This paper emphasizes the importance of national-level government involvement in addressing national-level inequalities and calls for reconsideration of decentralized policymaking structures to address massive water access inequalities.","PeriodicalId":46688,"journal":{"name":"International Planning Studies","volume":"28 1","pages":"1 - 20"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2022-11-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44835967","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}
