“…The review of institutional settings promoted (1) the illustration of the implementation of EU policy documents and tools and (2) the explanation of the gap in the study of COMPASS regarding the case of Latvia (Section 3.1). The outcome of previously completed analytical work caused the determination of selection criteria and structuring of case studies as well as the assessment and set of objectives for the VLP approach [6]. It is expected that the results of the study will effectuate empirical research and will sustain decision-making in land use management.…”

“…The topicality of the VLP approach to be substantiated and implemented into land use management practice was developed upon an assumption that the creation of positive synergy in managing land-related resources if exploring the territorial capabilities, threats and opportunities (e.g., the effects of urban expansion, multi-functionality of land use, internalization of negative externalities and challenges of a city agglomeration) causes primary necessity for the modern society. Previous studies [6,16] contributed to the conceptual background and feasibility aspects of the VLP approach to be introduced into practice by capitalizing, first of all, on comparative analysis of dynamic spatial planning systems and planning cultures. The recent evolution of planning cultures, its substantial changes during the last twenty years and prospective continuation quite clearly argue towards the VLP approach to be developed and implemented to improve spatial planning as an essential and integrated part of land management.…”

“…Based on the studies of Janin Rivolin (2012) and Reimer et al (2014), the framework of the transformation of spatial planning systems has been proposed [6] (p. 279). At the same time, it was reasoned in the study to apply the designed framework to conceptualize the introduction of a new planning approach and to improve land use and spatial development processes.…”

If distinguishing between spatial planning systems and practices, the latter reflect on the continuity and perspective of planning cultures and are concerned with the values, attitudes, mindsets and routines shared by those taking part in concrete planning processes. Some recent studies demonstrated comparative assessment of European spatial planning. Thus, the coexistence of continuity and change, as well as convergence and divergence concerning planning practices, was delineated. Moreover, the trends and directions in the evolution of spatial planning and territorial governance were explored when focusing on linkages between diverse national planning perspectives and EU policies. The relevant outcome of European projects met their visionary statements in general and are towards the inspiration of policymaking by territorial evidence. However, it showed a highly differential landscape for territorial governance and spatial planning across Europe in terms of terminology, concepts, tools and practices. Therefore, the paper focuses on how the most relevant outcome of European research may initiate a reasonable in-depth study of concrete planning practices and substantiate an effective planning approach. Mainly based on critical literature review and comparative analysis and synthesis techniques, the overviewed key research results led (1) to agenda-setting for comprehensive evidence gathering (CEG) if exploring spatial planning practices and territorial governance in selected European countries, and (2) to a set of objectives for a values-led planning (VLP) approach to be introduced for improvement of land use management.

The scope of land management, which includes spatial planning as an activity in the public domain, demands that a planning process that is based on publicly or societally acceptable values is a matter of necessity. This study proposes a methodology for introducing a values-led planning (VLP) approach in spatial development. The motivation of the study is to promote the embrace of assessed values in planning. The study draws from issues evoked in various topical studies on European comparative perspectives. By way of argumentation, the study makes three relevant contributions to the literature and spatial planning and development practice. First, it presents and discusses the essential elements required in the design of methodology. In this way, it figuratively depicts VLP as a consequence of interactions between four key elements of spatial planning. Second, it proposes an actual methodology for action. Third, it discusses the applicability of the methodology. The proposed methodology would be useful for planners, including public authorities, land managers, and community leaders, who make socio-spatial decisions in land management and related activities.

A Systematic Review for Urban Regeneration Effects Analysis in Urban Cores

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

In this article, we aim to promote a methodology to analyze the effects of urban regeneration in historical sites. Different case studies are observed in depth, and they allow us to understand certain aspects concerning ex-post and ex-ante assessments. This methodology, which is supported by Geographic Information System (GIS) software and an online database, is based on different phases: the first is the quantification of the resources employed within the process, giving attention to the policies that are the basis for social and environmental changes. Then, the analysis moves to the effects of the interventions. In particular, the goal of the methodology was to understand how different urban operations can contribute to creating public value, and importance was given to the available tools for public bodies to develop partnerships and to capture that value. With the ex-post assessment, it was feasible to compare the situations before and after the realization of the projects, whereas, with the ex-ante assessment, it was viable to assess different possible development scenarios and compare them with the baseline of the current situation. The methodology was tested for the ex-post assessment case study of the city of Porto (PT) and for the ex-ante assessment case study of the city of Brescia (IT).
