Advocacy Planning
No full textIn the post–World War II era, American cities confronted increasing economic, social, and political challenges resulting from the combined impact of suburbanization, deindustrialization, and disinvestment. As growing numbers of large employers seeking less expensive real estate, lower taxes, better transportation access, and relief from unionization pressures moved to the suburbs, many of their middle-and-upper income employees followed them. This outmigration of businesses and residents resulted in growing residential and commercial vacancies and falling property values in many older neighborhoods within America’s central cities causing lenders to avoid investing in these areas. Further complicating these economic challenges was the arrival of increasing numbers of African American families displaced by the mechanization of Southern agriculture. Unable to access expanding employment and housing opportunities in the suburbs due to exclusionary zoning and building codes, these families were frequently forced to live in older urban neighborhoods with poor schools, deteriorating housing, declining retail services, and underfunded municipal services. Inspired by the example of Southern civil rights organizations, leaders from these communities demanded more redistributive urban policies and participatory decision-making processes. In the mid-1960s, the federal government responded to these pressures by increasing funding for public housing and initiating an ambitious “War on Poverty.” Aware of the tendency of federal programs to achieve their redevelopment goals through displacement of the poor, working-class communities of color fought for a meaningful voice in the design and implementation of these programs. In Boston, New York, Chicago, and other US cities, equity-oriented planners and architects began collaborating with leaders of threatened neighborhoods to challenge the assumptions, goals, analysis, and plans of centralized planning and redevelopment agencies. In 1965, Paul Davidoff, an Assistant Professor of Planning at the University of Pennsylvania, wrote “Advocacy and Pluralism in Planning” which offered a powerful critique of the rational model of comprehensive planning upon which these efforts were based. Davidoff questioned the physical emphasis of these plans, the possibility of value neutral planning, the existence of a unitary public interest, and the ability of a small group of planners to incorporate the interests of diverse communities into a single plan. Davidoff urged equity-minded planners to assist groups overlooked in public planning processes to generate their own empirically based plans designed to challenge the proposals of mainstream planning agencies. Davidoff’s call for advocacy planning led to a significant reform movement within North and South American and European planning that continues to have significant influence within the planning and design professions, municipal planning departments, graduate planning and design schools, and national urban programs in the United States, United Kingdom, and elsewhere

Paul Davidoff’s Life in Prospect. Building a Progressive Planning Research Agenda through Engaged Scholarship
No full textThis article explores Paul Davidoff’s life and its relevance to the epochal turn for the planning discipline when theories in planning gave up ground to new theories of planning. By using biography as a method of inquiry, this article highlights the intertwined relations between Davidoff’s scholarship, his public and private life, and his efforts to face structural racism in planning. The article offers suggestions for progressive planning by reflecting on the relevance of scholars’ entrenchment with their context to foster practice and research through engagement

The case of Mobility as a Service: A critical reflection on challenges for urban transport and mobility governance
No full textThis chapter provides a reflective critique of Mobility as a Service (MaaS), an emerging development seeking a role within the Smart Mobility paradigm. We assess a range of its future implications for urban policymakers in terms of governance and sustainability (i.e., social and environmental impacts). We begin by describing the origins of the MaaS concept, along with the features of precursor technologies and current early examples. We then reflect on the marketing of MaaS and use it to consider how we might anticipate some potentially less desirable aspects of the promoted business models. Finally, we discuss the implications for governance.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository ‘You share, we take care!’ – Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Spatial Planning and StrategyTransport and Plannin

A year into the pandemic:shifts, improvisations and impacts for people, place, and policy
No full textThis chapter provides an overarching framework for exploring the relationships between people, place and policy and living with the COVID-19 pandemic. It recognises that these three Ps are interdependent; people are embedded in places and local and national policy is developed and applied to places. The chapter starts by exploring the debate on risk societies, non-calculable uncertainty, and the emergence of Jenga capitalism as a precursor for exploring the impacts of Covid-19. It then explores the relationship between globalisation and disease, before outlining national responses to COVID-19, including the emergence of socially distanced economies. The chapter also considers some dimensions of life after the pandemic, including a discussion of the impacts on policy and taxation. In so doing, the Chapter highlights Covid-19 as a cultural inflection point. The Chapter concludes by providing an outline of the contributions to the edited collection of the same name, to which this chapter forms the introduction
