Interaction between formal and informal actors in the shadow of policymaking: Case studies of community-based urban pluvial flood risk management in Pearl River Delta cities
Policymakers increasingly integrate urban pluvial flood risk management into multiple strategies, acknowledging that local contexts and the actors involved are crucial. However, the literature on the decision-making processes of community-based pluvial flood risk management sheds little light on how local formal and informal actors relate to each other. This paper contributes to filling this research gap by exploring the interdependency between local authorities and community residents from a multilevel governance perspective. Two cases, based in Pearl River Delta Cities, are analysed to explore actors' interactions locally in the Chinese Sponge City Program, a national programme for urban pluvial flood risk management. The comparative study of the two cases leads to four conclusions. First, the Sponge City Program at the local level can be viewed as multilevel governance. Second, triggered by the goal set by the national government and the local contexts, local authorities see the benefit of locally integrating the Sponge City Program into an integrated and area-specific plan, emphasizing the importance of institutional assertiveness. Third, tensions and synergies exist in the interaction process between local authorities and residents that will have to be recognized and embraced and, where necessary, converted from constraining to enabling factors. Fourth, institutional barriers still dominate locally in the Sponge City Program because of a lack of support for cross-boundary cooperation and public participation. To span these boundaries, policymakers should be more open to changing the perspective from ‘planning for people’ to ‘planning with people’.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Urban Management (JUM) is the Official Journal of Zhejiang University and the Chinese Association of Urban Management, an international, peer-reviewed open access journal covering planning, administering, regulating, and governing urban complexity.
JUM has its two-fold aims set to integrate the studies across fields in urban planning and management, as well as to provide a more holistic perspective on problem solving.
1) Explore innovative management skills for taming thorny problems that arise with global urbanization
2) Provide a platform to deal with urban affairs whose solutions must be looked at from an interdisciplinary perspective.
