Is There Space for Better Planning in a Neoliberal World? Implications for Planning Practice and Theory

Creating Transformative Force? The Role of Spatial Planning in Climate Change Transitions Towards Sustainable Transportation

“…Fragmented planning practices, supporting ad hoc solutions and business-asusual despite often ambitious climate goals and expectations, are well documented (Bulkeley, 2006;Blanco & Alberti, 2009;Mickwitz et al, 2009;Measham et al, 2011;Runhaar et al, 2012;. Studies also document how planning is exposed to changing governance and reform, driven by trends, including public involvement, neo-liberalisation and new public management (MacCullum & Hopkins, 2011;Gunn & Hillier, 2012;Campbell et al, 2014). Planning nowadays needs to handle a dynamic complex of multiple actors, perspectives, agendas, policy problems and areas, suggesting that contemporary planning has rarely been weaker than today (Campbell et al, 2014).…”

This reflects the influence of neoliberalism in this sector in spite of the strong history and market share of the public cemetery (Campbell et al, 2014). This paper considers the practice of cemetery management from multiple viewpoints, including both public and private operators.…”

Ethnographic understandings of ethnically diverse neighbourhoods to inform urban design practice

“…There are multiples critiques regarding the limitations of this process (Sandercock 2003, Healey 2012, Campbell et al 2014, Burayidi 2015 and some of these have particular relevance when addressing contexts with special racial and ethnic dimensions. Firstly, development is predominantly driven by the market, embedded in vested interests, and therefore consultation processes are mostly tokenistic in scope and genuine influence (Swyngedouw et al 2002).…”
