“…The tools highlighted in this special issue tackle both government-led and market-led infl uences on cities and recognize that change rarely occurs so innocently. Even if the agent of change is more unintentional and lacking strategic focus, for instance, market-led change, that is in itself at times fragmented (Pinnegar et al, 2010;Legacy et al, 2013), there is still an envelope provided through planning controls that allows this development to occur. Overall, change is manufactured through a set of concrete and intentional decisions about urban form and structures, the products of which are put into practice through planning policies and planning laws.…”

“…Specifically, it is a policy whose instruments allow private actors to work towards the progressive densification of low‐rise single‐family neighbourhoods through successive subdivision of the land into smaller plots, followed by construction on the newly created plots. This kind of soft densification does not radically change prevailing urban forms, in contrast to densification processes that, for instance, replace houses with apartment buildings or in which existing houses are replaced by bigger homes, as in the mansionization observed in US and Australian contexts (Dye and McMillen, ; Nasar et al, ; Pinnegar et al, ).…”

This essay is concerned with the planning and densification of suburbs, which present a huge challenge insofar as they form a large area of urbanized land that remains underexploited due to low residential density. Drawing on current research in the Paris cityregion, the essay focuses specifically on the difficulty in implementing densification policies in low-rise suburban areas. It examines the varying degrees of densification fostered by these policies, and builds upon recent urban studies literature on suburban change to trace how suburban areas are being transformed through regulations, instruments and market dynamics associated with densification processes. What kinds of densification policy are being implemented and what are the socio-economic, political and cultural determinants of each type of regulatory approach? This essay will attempt to answer this question via an analysis of the densification policies being put in place in the municipalities of the Paris city-region. It will offer in turn a typology of these different policies. It shows that densification is an instrument that can be used to address local political concerns which vary greatly depending on the economic, social and geographical position of municipalities within larger urban areas.

“…Redevelopment and renewal can also be more opportunistic and scattered than zoning configurations would suggest. One example is that of the 'knockdown rebuild' process where old or substandard housing in inner and middle suburbs is replaced by more appropriate dwellings, while adding little to the housing stock (Pinnegar et al, 2010).…”

How Is the Compact City Faring in Australia?

Australia has some of the lowest density cities in the world. However, in recent years the more compact city has become the orthodoxy of state capital city planning. Since 2000, long-range metropolitan strategies have been produced, planning the compact city. But in every state, each has been replaced by another one within a few years, frequently with different provisions. The metropolitan planning process is seen as in transition from the previous task emphasizing urban expansion to planning the compact city. Progress is patchy and uncertain, which in part explains the frequent replacement of plans. But this review suggests there are perhaps more important underlying reasons which may eventually lead to a modified style of metropolitan plan-making.
