Residents can come together to form non-profit community organisations, which can purchase and develop land and buildings to meet their needs and set out a spatial policy for their local area. These organisations have open membership, are democratically governed and act in the public interest. They have legal rights over land, including first right of purchase for pre-identified sites, and for compulsory purchase. There is technical support available to build organisational capacity, as well as funding for purchase and development. As non-profit local landowners, any value derived from development or use is reinvested locally; for example, a community-owned business can provide funding for a community garden. These community organisations own key local assets that they identify, and they work collaboratively with other landowners (public and private) to deliver projects. In this model, communities’s role in land use planning systems is expanded – from a narrow role in commenting on others’ proposals for land (whether planning policy produced by government, or developers’ projects) – to include a range of options which arise from meaningful power over land. Communities could designate sites to protect land use, prepare a local plan, declare a preference for purchase should the land come up for sale, or force a sale in the interests of sustainable development. This approach is notably different to the role of community in planning in many contexts – this is emergent citizen control, with power, as noted in Arnstein’s (1969) oft-referred Ladder of Public Participation.","PeriodicalId":47693,"journal":{"name":"Planning Theory & Practice","volume":"24 1","pages":"429 - 441"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2023-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42396592","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}

Through a review of conceptual and empirical literature, it argues that current conceptualisations limit our understanding of insurgencies by focusing on intentional, purposeful and non-evolutive practices, addressing single, external and objectified sources of oppression, considering oppressed groups as static and fixed realities, and understanding insurgencies only through thematic characterisations. Adopting a pragmatist approach, it conceptualises insurgencies as two interconnected experiences: an experience of transformation of lived problematic situations, and an experience of transformation of conventional approaches to treat public problems. The article suggests a new research agenda and critical position for scholars.","PeriodicalId":47693,"journal":{"name":"Planning Theory & Practice","volume":"24 1","pages":"307 - 324"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2023-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42399099","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}

However, downzoning is becoming increasingly important, as European planning is taking a “resourcial turn” and needs to integrate net land neutrality. Yet downzoning may entail financial compensation for landowners losing their development rights. Understanding the legal and financial mechanisms of compensation schemes is therefore essential for planners. This comparative study investigates the rationale, conditions, and calculations of five European compensation schemes. Our research shows how compensation schemes differ significantly within the European context and concludes that a feasible and affordable compensation scheme is essential for adaptable planning.","PeriodicalId":47693,"journal":{"name":"Planning Theory & Practice","volume":"24 1","pages":"190 - 206"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2023-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46724965","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}

Our approach addresses concerns over the depoliticisation of planning processes within a neoliberal governmentality. Our findings from three Nordic countries show that some of the council members accept being sidelined from contractual processes. Local council members may thus become complicit political subjects who foster depoliticisation through their own actions. We argue that council members’ interpretations concerning contractual practices give direction, not only to future planning practice, but also to societal understanding of the idea of the political in spatial planning.","PeriodicalId":47693,"journal":{"name":"Planning Theory & Practice","volume":"24 1","pages":"173 - 189"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2023-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43282925","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}

They suggest that “ resistance ” is often just a simple synonym for “ opposition. ” In this broad “ pluralist ” sense of resistance, environmentalists resist highway advocates in California (Norgaard); preservation advocates resist affordable housing proponents in lower Manhattan (Zukin); supporters of sustainable design battle preservationists in Queensland (Dedekorkut and Burton) and Stuttgart (Novy). In New York (Lubinsky) and Rhode Island (Agyeman and Stewart) local leaders organize to resist legacies of racism, while in London (Keith) planners and politicians counter the power of capital. Planners fi nd themselves on all sides of these disputes, and activists, seeking to avoid appearing parochial, appeal to costs and bene fi ts, public welfare and interests, standing rights and regulations. In liberal democratic contexts, this is business as usual, but in two of our cases mobilized citizen resistance has faced largely unresponsive state power. In Guam (Guåhan) we see resistance to an imperial military presence (Lee and Na ’ puti); in Singapore resistance to unchallengeable state authority (Smith).

Advancing equity and justice in CAP requires reflexive, participatory practice that centers vulnerable residents and supports communication across differences in social position and systems of meaning.
