“…Young (2008) pleads for what he terms the "culturization" of planning, which can be read as an increased awareness of the merits of integrating culture into planning practice, although he does not specifically mention planner-artist collaborations as a means to achieve said culturization. Sandercock (2004Sandercock ( , 2005 on the other hand specifically engages with the issue of planner-artist collaborations as a means of broadening the horizon of planners and developing contemporary planning practice. Sandercock has also edited a theme section of the journal Planning Theory & Practice (Sandercock, 2005), where planning consultant Wendy Sarkassian tells the story of her experience of a planner-artist collaboration in a community renewal project in Brisbane, Australia (Sarkassian, 2005), an account which is then reflected upon and related to by other planning practitioners (Landry, 2005;Gordon, 2005;Dang, 2005;Shaw, 2005).…”

“…Both Sandercock (2003Sandercock ( , 2004 and Hillier (2002Hillier ( , 2007 have used art analogies to expand our mode of thinking about planning theory and practice, but neither of them suggests any concrete measures as to how the analogies between art and planning can be put into concrete practice in the form of of cultural production", which forms a context wherein "art" can be seen as an amorphous and fluid term that is most easily operationally defined as "that which artists do".…”

Strange spaces: A rationale for bringing art and artists into the planning process

The purpose of this article is to offer a rationale for bringing art and artists into the planning process. Although there appears to exist a nascent interest in planner-artist collaborations in contemporary planning practice and research, accounts of such collaborations in planning literature are generally patchy and often under-theorized. In this article I argue that art and artist-led activities can function as a powerful vehicle of communication in the planning process. The unique potential of planner-artist collaborations is based on the artistic license that grants the artist a mandate to set the stage for an estrangement of that which is familiar and taken-for-granted, thus shifting frames of references and creating a radical potential for planning in a way that can be very difficult for planners to achieve on their own.

“…¿Qué teorías de urbanismo reconocen, entonces, esas implicaciones, esos cuidados como referentes de sus decisiones? ¿Qué procesos de planificación los trabajan conjuntamente con las fuerzas conducentes (L. Sandercock, 2004) y como parte del proyecto local de desarrollo(A. Magnaghi, 2000)?…”

ResumenLas condiciones técnicas de configuración y de organización espacial de edificaciones y de actividades declaradas en los instrumentos de planificación son progenitura del "modo de construcción" del saber sobre la "realidad" y de los "modos de construcción" del proceso, instrumentos y proyectos de planificación. La manera de construir elegida hará bifurcar sus productos y los efectos de éstos -ambiental, económica, socialmente ... hacia (i) place-making, espontáneamente securizante, valorizador de sus diferentes "capitales": sociales, ambientales, culturales, económicos, o (ii) hacia commodification, i.e. sectores que terminan dominados por evening economies, turismos nocturnos manejados de manera tal que destruyen la posibilidad de redes de confianza mutua, acentuando en cambio discriminaciones, inseguridades de todo tipo y efectos de minusvalías en sus entornos inmediatos. Digo que la construcción de las condiciones de prevención de la criminalidad desde el urbanismo necesita fundar su saber en empirismo y fenomenología y sus procesos e instrumentos de desarrollo en la Planificación Espacial Estratégica Colaboracional: ambos definen el perfil del "especialista en prevención de criminalidad" y un modo de operar "transversal": cruza las distintas temáticas del desarrollo local. Importa saber la existencia, contenidos y condiciones de la bifurcación hacia place-making. Palabras claveComplejidad, place-making, proceso de planificación, estratégica, empirismo, fenomenología.

“…Hodge and Gordon (2014) also note that planning is concerned with a community attaining a preferred future condition regarding its built and natural environment.

“…Commin (2013) points out that the definition of planning ranges from those that focus mainly on physical forms, societal planning to holistic planning. Sandercock (2004), on the other hand, defines planning as an unfinished social project tasked to manage human activities in space through social, cultural and environmental justice. Hodge and Gordon (2014) also note that planning is concerned with a community attaining a preferred future condition regarding its built and natural environment.…”

Building evidence-based research for park development and design in Canadian cities : cases from the City of Vancouver parks

Urban parks are among the few urban infrastructures that promote the social, economic and environmental well-being of city residents at the same time. Despite the importance of parks towards the development of cities, there is a major research gap within the Canadian context. The goal of this study is to examine the factors influencing the development and management of urban parks in the City of Vancouver. The research focused on three main themes namely: the evolutio n of park planning, urban park management models and park user characteristics.Methodologically, the study relied on the mixed methods approach consisting of primary and secondary sources of data. The secondary data used for this study was collected from a variety of documentary sources such as Parks Board records, City of Vancouver documents, old newspapers and archival records. On the other hand, the primary data was collected by interviewing key stakeholders and conducting park user survey in Stanley Park and Queen Elizabeth Park.The historical analysis of parks showed that the development of parks in the City of Vancouver has been approached from a multi-stakeholder perspective since the 19 th century. Also, there has been an increase in the number of physical structures and area of hard landscaping on these parks. This is as a result of the continuous increase in the provision of more recreational facilities.Historically, the management of parks in the City of Vancouver has not been approached by one particular model but rather a combination of the elements of the public-for-profit model and the public-non-profit model. However, these models were not strategically laid down to guide the development of parks but rather came along with the incremental development of parks in the City of Vancouver. Similar to the historical approach to park management, the contemporary park management system of the City of Vancouver still relies on the hybrid model. Queen Elizabeth Park at a higher intensity rate than park users coming from outside Canada.iv
