“…However, it became more widespread and focused on strategic spatial planning starting in 2012 [78,79]. For example, some authors have been debating the linkage between neoliberal urban planning policies and strategic spatial planning in relation to growing socio-spatial inequalities, a lack of affordable housing [80], and transboundary environmental threats [81].…”

Abstract:Land degradation is becoming a serious environmental issue threatening fertile agricultural soils and other natural resources. There are many driving forces behind land degradation. The expansion of artificial surfaces due to various economic activities, such as housing, industry, and transport infrastructure, known as soil sealing, constitutes one of the most intensive forms of land degradation in urban regions. Measures to halt and reverse land degradation require both strong land-use management policies, as well as effective spatial planning mechanisms. In this regard, strategic spatial planning has been increasingly practised in many urban regions worldwide, as a means to achieve sustainable land-use patterns and to guide the location of development and physical infrastructures. It is reasonable, therefore, to expect that strategic spatial planning can counteract the outlined undesired land degradation effects, specifically those resulting from soil sealing. In this paper, we review strategic spatial planning literature published between 1992 and 2017. The focus is on the phenomena causing land degradation that are addressed by strategic spatial planning literature, as well as on the mechanisms describing the role of strategic spatial planning in land degradation reduction. Results show that sustainable development and environmental concerns have become core objectives of strategic planning in recent years, yet references to the drivers of land degradation are rare. The mechanisms that exist are mainly intended to address environmental issues in general, and are not aimed at reducing particular forms of land degradation. The paper concludes by sketching future research directions, intended to support strategic spatial planning and land-use policymaking related to coping with the global phenomenon of land degradation.

“…regarding new complex development initiative out of urban containment. Olesen (2013) argues that neoliberalization forces to think in different ways about consensus-driven strategic spatial planning and the usage of a relational spatial vocabulary. 'Adversarial practice' exists where planning practice involves or is characterised by conflict or opposition (Greek case Reimer et.…”

Abstract. 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, internalisation of negative externalities and challenges of a city agglomeration, causes primary necessity for the modern society. The study is concerned with the conceptual background and feasibility aspects of values-led planning (VLP) approach to be introduced into land management practice by capitalising first of all on comparative analysis of dynamic spatial planning systems and planning cultures. Finally, it is argued that the implementation of new planning approach within proposed framework would lead towards improved land use policies and better territorial governance, developing more inclusive and resilient territories for the benefit of a society.

“…1 Olesen [71] has taken the debate further to the neo-liberalisation of strategic spatial planning. She states that neo-liberalisation of strategic planning has manifested as a result of governance reforms aiming to reduce or abolish spatial planning at national and regional scales.…”

The debate and discourse for the need to align spatial planning, transportation planning and environmental management strategically, functionally and operationally to inform modelling is ongoing internationally since the early 2000s. This incorporates the articulation of the planning instruments used by the professionals within these functional fields and the way in which it is coordinated and applied as to enhance strategic planning and decision making.With the approval of the Spatial Planning and Land Use Management Act (SPLUMA) (Act 16 of 2013) and the SPLUMA Regulations (23 March 2015) in South Africa, the last bastion of 'Apartheid' planning legislation from the previous political dispensation was reformed. Although this process is still legislatively being finalized at provincial and municipal levels of government through adapting new transformation structures, guidelines, policies and regulations, the opportunity exists to assess the impacts of alignment to improve strategic planning, modelling, coordination and decision making.In this chapter the alignment between the policy and legislative frameworks, guidelines, processes and the need for integration will be discussed. The approach presented in this paper will especially guide planning within developing countries based on the learning experiences from spatial systems in developed countries.
