As we live in the so-called “urban age” (Brenner & Schmid, 2014), this urban emphasis is understandable as more of us live in urban rather than rural places, and cities are viewed as critical motors in the global economy – places of innovation, a critical mass of hard and soft infrastructure, and home to diverse talent. In this context, the spatial imaginaries of planning are focused on urban space and place, while planning practice has moved beyond a narrow land-use regulatory role to embrace place-making, spatial coordination, or development delivery. However, despite planning practice’s “urban accent,” the basic question of how we use land, including land beyond the city, should be of core concern. How we use, own and manage our land is fundamental to how we live. As noted in the OECD’s (2017) comparative study of land-use governance:","PeriodicalId":47693,"journal":{"name":"Planning Theory & Practice","volume":"23 1","pages":"655 - 660"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2022-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42634728","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}

This article explores how long-term spatial planning and short-term humanitarian responses relate to three facets of uncertainty that are particularly relevant in developmental contexts, namely epistemic uncertainty, ontic uncertainty, and ambiguity. The authors explore these facets through a case study of uncertainty, that of unexpected monsoon floods in 2018 and 2019 in Wayanad, a peri-urban hill district in Kerala, India. Through the case, they show that compounded uncertainty leads to ambiguity in action, but that this ambiguity can be ameliorated by a contextualised contingency planning approach. The authors conclude the article by outlining the approach in spatial planning that prioritises flexible and adaptable decision-making to enhance iterative organisational learning and action, as well as cross-sectoral dialogue to deal with uncertainty.","PeriodicalId":47693,"journal":{"name":"Planning Theory & Practice","volume":"23 1","pages":"703 - 723"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2022-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45183297","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":"When Politicians Call for “Better” Planning, it’s Time to Worry","authors":"J. Grant","doi":"10.1080/14649357.2022.2121582","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/14649357.2022.2121582","url":null,"abstract":"When I wrote my last Editorial for Planning Theory & Practice (Grant, 2020), we were in the first waves of the Covid-19 pandemic. We knew that planning would be different coming out of the crisis. Sad to say, of the scenarios I saw possible then, my most pessimistic has been exceeded in dreadfulness: societies failed to contain the virus and its negative consequences. Today we face extreme social, economic, and political polarization exacerbated by inflation, health-care catastrophes, and climate crisis. What’s more, in a context where housing supply and affordability has become a significant issue in many nations, politicians increasingly call for “better planning” and ‘red-tape reduction’ as they systematically attack the fundamental principles of local self-governance and sound planning. Because of the need for effective government action, the pandemic presented an opportunity to change the dynamics of planning, to initiate a caring and responsive era. Instead, it proved a brief interlude in the march of capitalism. Although interim payment programs for unemployed workers illustrated the potential that effective social programs have to improve lives, governments rapidly resumed initiatives to support and promote private-sector interests. Events like the Russian invasion of Ukraine in early 2022 – with its impacts on energy supplies and costs – affected efforts to address climate change and feed hungry people worldwide. The growing strength of anti-scientific, authoritarian, and repressive political voices threatens the foundations even of long-standing democracies. As governments try to respond to the housing crises that the pandemic highlighted, many are eager to get construction going quickly. Political leaders seem to concur that planning – with its pesky regulations and careful oversight – constrains housing supply. Hence, we see a push for planning reforms from right-, centre-, and left-leaning governments alike. Politicians call for cutting red tape, streamlining approval processes, and building more housing more quickly. The political discourse reads like the developers’ playbook, deploying the language of enhancing certainty, increasing densities, reducing NIMBYism, cutting fees to local governments, enhancing design quality (at least in superficial ways), and improving outcomes. Local planning, with its messy participatory processes and attention to immediate environmental conditions, is cast as an archaic impediment to growth and its glossy counterpart “prosperity.” History reminds us that planning is far from benign. It has operated within diverse and sometimes repressive ideologies. In many regions, it provided tools of imperial and colonial control while serving narrow political and economic interests. Yet during the 20 century planning promised hope. It sought to become a progressive tool of national economic development but also of social development. Although critics identified the “dark side” of planning (Yiftachel, 1998), pra","PeriodicalId":47693,"journal":{"name":"Planning Theory & Practice","volume":"23 1","pages":"491 - 495"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2022-08-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48441789","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}
