Achieving successful participation in the new UK spatial planning system

Participatory Apps for Urban Planning—Space for Improvement

“…Unfamiliarity is a barrier to ICT adoption, especially for the elderly (Schlossberg et al, 2012). Inclusiveness in terms of 'hard to reach' groups is crucial for achieving successful participation (Baker et al, 2007) and these groups require special attention in e-government initiatives because of their scant use of ICTs (Kitchen & Whitney, 2004). Besides social concerns, instrumental ones also arise such as monitoring the real-time city, in terms of data management, may increase costs; apart from this, planners may be unfamiliar with how new technologies can be used effectively (Evans-Cowley, 2010;Evans-Cowley & Hollander, 2010).…”

The Potential of Integrated Urban Deposit Modelling as a Cultural Heritage Planning Tool

“…7) such activity will be likely be tightly circumscribed within existing frameworks. Participatory practice within planning practice has been examined over a long period and the role and efficacy of stakeholder involvement debated (Arnstein, 1969;Baker et al, 2007). In contrast to the proposal that UK spatial planning has only recently been tied to neoliberal political mechanisms (Haughton & Allmendinger, 2013, p. 3), the governance of the historic environment has long been seen as being related to a neoliberal political philosophy (Cooper, 2010).…”
