We draw on qualitative data collected from a study of Baltimore’s twenty-first Century School Buildings Program and center meso-level actors – city agencies and the school district – to analyze how divergent theories of action that undergird community development can challenge cross-section implementation and coordination. We also reflect on potential pathways to align and integrate schools into community development practice. Our analysis contributes to understanding across disciplines by incorporating schools in the constellation of actors in community development practice, and in doing so augments foundational theories of urban justice and community development.","PeriodicalId":47693,"journal":{"name":"Planning Theory & Practice","volume":"23 1","pages":"556 - 577"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2022-08-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48557833","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}

At current projections, it is increasingly likely that global warming during the twenty-first Century will exceed the 1.5 C limit established at successive UN COP Climate Conventions. Indeed, limiting warming to less that 2 C relies on the rapid acceleration of mitigation efforts. Greenhouse gas emissions must peak by 2025 and should be almost halved this decade to provide a pathway to limiting heating to 1.5 C above pre-industrial levels. However, rather than a rapid acceleration of mitigation, the IPCC assessment notes that projected cumulative future CO2 emissions over the lifetime of existing and currently planned fossil fuel infrastructure, without additional abatement, will exceed the total cumulative net CO2 emissions that limit warming to 1.5 C. In stark summary, without immediate and deep emissions reductions across all sectors, limiting global warming to 1.5 C is beyond reach. With understatement, the IPCC review highlights the challenge of overcoming the implementation gap between agreed greenhouse gas emission targets and projected higher global emissions. Issues of energy security are high on political agendas for other reasons too, not least the Russian invasion of Ukraine earlier this year. In developing political and economic sanctions “the west” has been hampered by its reliance on Russian gas and oil imports. European Union member states, for example, are dependent on Russia for 40% of their gas, with Germany particularly exposed at 60%. Russia also accounts for 27% of oil imports and 46% of coal imports to the European Union. In March, the European Commission announced plans to make Europe independent from Russian fossil fuels before 2030, with a two-thirds reduction by the end of 2022 (EC, 2022). Between continued climate change warnings and shifting geopolitical tensions, the case for a rapid transition to clean and green energy and for measures that reduce energy demand have never been clearer or more urgent. In relation to the energy questions posed by the war in Ukraine, while renewable energy is part of the mix of options, other political imperatives are also at play, particularly in relation to rapidly rising energy and fuel prices, which are having knock-on impacts on cost of living concerns. For politicians, this creates short term crises that lead to short term – and from a climate perspective – suboptimal responses that create longer term fossil fuel dependence. For example, as reported in The Guardian (Harvey, 2022), the US is seeking to expand imports of oil from countries previously shunned, such as Venezuela, while domestic oil and gas production from fracking is to be expanded. The UK has also sought alternative oil supply options, encoura","PeriodicalId":47693,"journal":{"name":"Planning Theory & Practice","volume":"23 1","pages":"321 - 326"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2022-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46721286","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 is one of the most fundamental and dif fi cult questions that planning theory has sought to address over many decades. A de fi nitive answer may never emerge, but in this re fl ective piece we argue that the last few decades of planning in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) offer especially instructive lessons on the topic. Once the global center of authoritarian state socialism and the command economy, CEE societies have been transitioning into pluralist democracies for thirty years. This transition penetrated all areas of social life: polit-ics, economics, culture, as well as urban and regional development (Stanilov, 2007; Tsenkova & Nedovic-Budic, 2006). Centralized planning, which guided CEE ’ s development through the post-WW2 decades, was immediately abandoned after the “ velvet revolutions ” of 1989. Furthermore, socialist planning gave all planning a bad name (Daskalova & Slaev, 2015; Hirt, 2005; Nedovic-Budic, 2001) and in the 1990s, most cities in CEE ceased to engage in planning altogether (Hirt & Stanilov, 2009). In Bulgaria, the country we use as our example, not a single major city adopted a new master plan between 1989 and 2003. The idea that planning is a negative socialist legacy began to fade away in the early 2000s. An important factor in planning ’ s cautious revival since then has been the accession of several CEE countries to the European Union, as new member states were expected to adopt basic EU planning principles (Anderson et al., 2012). CEE cities may be especially revealing cases in how planning could and should (not) work. In the last decades of the 20th century, these cities moved from one extreme to the other: from being highly and only centrally planned in the 1980s to being market-driven and not planned in the 1990s. Neither of these we worked very well,","PeriodicalId":47693,"journal":{"name":"Planning Theory & Practice","volume":"23 1","pages":"461 - 475"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2022-05-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48379088","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 focus on the Cambridgeshire Quality Panel, which has framed its review process around sustainable development principles, named the “4 Cs”: community, connectivity, climate, and character.
