Abstract: This special section examines the possibility of meaningful debate and contestation over urban decisions and futures in politically constrained contexts. In doing so, it moves with the post‐political times: critically examining the proliferation of deliberative mechanisms; identifying the informal assemblages of diverse actors taking on new roles in urban socio‐spatial justice; and illuminating the spaces where informal and formal planning processes meet. These questions are particularly pertinent for understa… Show more

“…Reviewing examples of redevelopment strategies in the literature reveals that tenants, property owners, the private sector and wider local communities have all been involved in decision-making at key points in such processes (Adams et al, 1988;Adams et al, 1993;Atkinson and Moon, 1994;Carley, 2002;Shirlow and Murtagh, 2004;Ball and Maginn, 2005;Güzey, 2009). In particular, wider community involvement within the process of redevelopment is now increasingly highlighted as desirable and has become an important focus in urban planning literature (Legacy et al, 2018;Sonjalfko, 2018). This is in response to the realisation that citizens feel alienated when they think that those with the power within existing decisionmaking structures ignore them, where such structures do not allow an effective role in decision-making processes for citizens, or when citizens are powerless to change the present structures.…”

“…This therefore seems to be more about a democratic ideal than the reality of solving the difficult problems of urban redevelopment. However, the majority of research on participation in urban (re-)development has been conducted in westernised countries such as the UK (Bailey, 2010;Benson et al, 2014), Australia (Lahiri-Dutt, 2004;Legacy et al, 2018), Hong Kong (Li, 2012) and conclusions may not be useful in very different socio-political and cultural contexts.…”

“…Disparate approaches to how community is defined and deployed are borne out in recent research that looks into national and international efforts to integrate CE into policy concerning infrastructure planning or project delivery (Cowell and Devine‐Wright, ; Nabatchi & Jo, ). Transport, urban planning, and housing scholars contribute to an entire subgenre of research concerning community responses to particular projects (De Martin and Moyan, ), planning politicization (Legacy, Cook, Rogers, & Ruming, ), and the role of new planning paradigms in what certain scholars argue is a “post‐political” era (Legacy, ). Each of these contributions points simultaneously to the challenges of defining community and to setting clear boundaries and expectations for CE practice.…”

“…In cities of the global North, landowners and land developers generally have a prominent stake in land development, with some variations by country, although they are often taken for granted and unremarked as policy actors. However, as empirical research shows, with the spread of neoliberal policies, private developers have become more accepted as partners with the state in the provision of urban infrastructure and services, and as key actors in policy processes (Legacy et al, 2018;Macdonald, 2018). At certain moments of well-publicized land conflict or popular opposition to planning policies, the media and public more closely scrutinize land developers, their relationship with state and community actors, and their power over land policy (Sandberg et al, 2013).…”
