Futures planning is at least, to some degree, a hopeful activity, and I had agreed, implicitly, to find other people who think a lot about futures and planning during a less than inspirational time. An enduring pandemic had swept across the world, most acutely affecting poor people and people of color. At the same time, in the United States, some of the largest civil uprisings in recent history, protesting police violence against Black people, were taking place. Writing about futures and optimism for change has felt absurd at times in the malaise of COVID-19, protest, and politics. I found myself talking with contributors about what it means to talk about hope in the face of such sadness and loss, to still know that we must push towards the just future. I encouraged authors, and myself, to reject the idea of producing falsely optimistic pieces, but to share visions of hope, ideas for paths forward, and reflections on now. As a less optimistic person, I appreciated what other contributors shared, and how our different ways of thinking might assemble some type of guide for those planning scholars and practitioners looking for the – what happens now? In the writings, you will not find rose-colored glasses. You will also not find recommendations to stop doing the work of reaching just futures. Instead we make suggestions, offer insights, and ask questions about what it means to engage in our futures at this moment in time. Each essay offers its unique contribution, with several themes emerging across them. I want to highlight the ones that have kept me thinking, and hoping for planning scholarship and practice.","PeriodicalId":47693,"journal":{"name":"Planning Theory & Practice","volume":"22 1","pages":"613 - 642"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2021-08-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43382730","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"The Point is Still to Change it","authors":"C. Legacy","doi":"10.1080/14649357.2021.1962054","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/14649357.2021.1962054","url":null,"abstract":"In a 2011 Editorial for Planning Theory and Practice titled ‘The Point is to Change It’, Libby Porter treated readers to a passionate call to reveal planning’s politics. Evoking Marx, Porter argued that while “Planners act every day”, and “quite often change things as a consequence” these changes may come without direct and explicit engagement with the “political content” of planning. Going further, Porter contends that planners are “disturbingly unable to judge the politics of change’s outcomes” (p. 477) leading in many ways to planning “systematically evacuating itself of the political” (p. 479). Ten years on, and in these uncertain times, Porter’s call continues to resonate. In a recent editorial, Mark Scott (2020) posited how the pandemic is revealing the social and spatial unevenness of pre-Covid planning and Covid responses. Nearly 18 months on, the structural inequalities are deepening and the winners from the pandemic are in clearer view. Tech giants will likely prevail as our lives take on new digital forms, curated through the rise of virtual landscapes enabled by platform technology. Alongside big tech may be the large global infrastructure consortiums heeding calls from governments to stimulate local and regional economies. No doubt that jobs will be created in the construction of this infrastructure, as well as through the expansion of the gig economy. Low quality work will likely replace some of the jobs lost during the pandemic recession, a trend visible in the place I write from, Melbourne/Naarm, Australia, exacerbating casualisation already at historic levels across some sectors. Underpinning these structural forces, the uneven access to public and open space, quality public transport, care-based services, housing and well-designed neighbourhoods, will continue to raise questions about whether a pre-Covid normal is even worth returning (Scott, 2020, p. 344). Crisis periods like the one we are in can bring on sober reflections, as well as seed change. For planning, reflecting on what has been and what could be can invite new questions. In responding to Porter’s call, one could ask, what is the potential to transform planning to better engage with the politics of its content? (see Campbell, 2021). Efforts to answer this question will need to be prudent. Critically analysing what these times reveal about the political content of planning’s work could be underpinned by what this moment is demanding from us. For practitioners, theorists, researchers and educators alike, how we move forward will require a kind of hopeful intentionality that is perhaps more overtly political as it contends with past failings and present contexts. Crisis can spur such hopeful ruminations. For instance, Rebecca Solnit (2020) wrote about how the pandemic was revealing moments of hope at every turn; connections and solidarities forging within and across communities seeking to manage the immediate effects of Covid-19. Such moments of hope can be the precurso","PeriodicalId":47693,"journal":{"name":"Planning Theory & Practice","volume":"22 1","pages":"511 - 515"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2021-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/14649357.2021.1962054","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41868691","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The ambitious plan was born at the confluence of two major drives to boost China’s prominence. The first is ecological civilization, a policy first introduced in 2007 and endorsed by President Xi Jinping in 2013, before its incorporation into the Chinese constitution in 2018. The other being the now much less mentioned ‘Made in China 2025 ʹ , unveiled in 2015, as an ambitious initiative to upscale China’s manufacturing industry. The ODP can be seen as part of China’s effort to transform its manufacturing industry, greening its economy and moving the nation towards an ecological civilization. The following first discusses the emergence of the Greater Bay Area (GBA), comprising Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Zhuhai, Foshan, Huizhou, Dongguan, Zhongshan, Jiangmen and Zhaoqing. Then, it introduces the ODP, including its high-level political deployment and multiple stakeholders, key ideas and implications. Challenges for implementing the ODP are discussed at the end.","PeriodicalId":47693,"journal":{"name":"Planning Theory & Practice","volume":"23 1","pages":"310 - 314"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2021-07-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/14649357.2021.1958539","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42757739","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We propose a novel analytical framework to explain uncertainty avoidance, consisting of two current explanations – resource constraint and strategic behaviour models – and a complementary institutional model.
