“…Thus far, the contemporary dimensions and implications for the planning profession of this evolving hybrid urban planning role, has received little attention within the Australasian planning literature. Urban research, as Davidson and Fincher (1998) observe, might suggest useful ways of understanding these emerging roles, relationships and practices, and the governance spaces they inhabit. In the wake of a global recession it seems timely to re-ignite debate and interest in the professional direction and vision of the emerging role(s) of the Australian urban planner within a pervasive reform agenda that is (once again) under question.…”

“…There are rather complex new partnerships being formed between private and public sectors in Australian cities that blur the distinctions …urban research might suggest useful ways of understanding the impacts of new relationships… (Davidson and Fincher 1998, p.193) Since the late 1990s there have been calls for the role of the Australian urban planner to be re-assessed in response to the impact of micro-economic reform and as a means of enabling more sustainable outcomes (Davidson and Fincher, 1998;Gleeson and Low, 2000;Sandercock, 1998). The shift from urban government to governance has seen the public sector extended (some argue contracted) to incorporate private and community sectors in policy formulation and implementation (Minnery, 2007).…”

“…Likewise the Centre for Cities at the University of Melbourne and City Futures Research Centre at the University of New South Wales are not included despite operating in very similar terrain. Each can trace an intellectual and collegial lineage within the Australian tradition of urban studies, as described by Davison and Fincher (1998). Such knowledge is typically not apparent in contemporary website presentation but rather held in wider academic 'field memory'.…”

“…In this sense, however, the 'postmodern turn' impelled an aestheticization of urban thought and debate that was not to the advantage of social scientific urbanism. Davison and Fincher (1998) explained postmodernism as a 'destabilizing' force in urban studies that unsettled notions of public good and progress that had guided urban commentary, especially in the applied field of planning. This historiographical sketch arrives at the early years of the present millennium.…”
