Planning Approaches

This paper argues that a monolithic land-use planning “grand narrative” is not sufficiently flexible, but that the fragmentation into innumerable “small narratives” goes against any sense of the existence of an established domain of knowledge. Its aim is to explore the epistemological possibility for “middle ground” theories. The methodology adopted for this purpose is to take as a standard reference the methodological components of comprehensive/procedural planning and to measure against them the methodologies proposed by a corpus of other major land-use planning approaches. The outcome of this comparison is that for more than half a century, planning theories in the field of urban and regional planning have been revolving incessantly around the methodological components of the comprehensive model, which seem, at least at the present stage of our knowledge, to be the universal nucleus of the land-use planning enterprise. This paper indicates on this basis the prerequisites for the construction of middle-ground land-use planning theories and how we can pass from the formal contextual variants to real life contexts through the original articulation of planning theory with input from the findings of the actual planning systems.

Ever since the publication of Rittel and Webber's Dilemmas in a General Theory of Planning in 1973, the discourse on wicked problems has grown steadily in planning and other disciplines. Despite this, there has been little attention paid to the ethical dimensions of wicked problems. What are the ethical dimensions of wicked problems in planning and specifically, in e-planning? To answer this question, the author examines planning ethics in relation to the discourse on wicked problems. Following Hendler's framework (2001) on planning ethics, which comprises of five distinct discourses—namely, (i) the ethics of everyday behavior; (ii) the ethics of administrative discretion; (iii) the ethics of planning techniques; (iv) plan making; (v) normative planning theory—the author discusses each in relation to the discourse of wicked problems to draw out their ethical dimensions in the context of urban and regional planning. Through these discussions, the author argues that e-planning should engage with the discourse of planning ethics, and further, that e-planning can begin to develop its own ethical discourse in the face of wicked problems in planning today.

Resumo A ideia central deste trabalho é apresentar as possibilidades para a gestão e o planejamento urbano e regional advindas com as inovações institucionais trazidas pela Constituição de 1988 e pelo Estatuto da Cidade de 2001. Para exemplificar, é utilizado o caso do processo de regionalização, em especial, a criação legal de região metropolitana, tendo como referencial empírico a Região Metropolitana de Campinas-SP. A partir deste caso, é possível identificar os desafios enfrentados na transposição do plano das ideias para o plano da aplicação daquilo que consta nos documentos oficiais. Isto evidencia um descompasso entre a norma e o fato urbano e metropolitano, ampliando os desafios para o estabelecimento de uma governança metropolitana efetiva. Abstract The central idea of this paper is to present the possibilities for the management and urban and regional planning stemming from the institutional innovations introduced by the 1988 Constitution and the 2001 Statute of the City. As an example we use the case of the regionalization process, in particular the legal creation of the metropolitan area, with the empirical reference of the Metropolitan Region of Campinas-SP. From this case it is possible to identify the challenges faced in the implementation plan of the ideas for the transition from the of the ideas to the implementation of the plan of what appears in official documents. This reflects a mismatch between the standard and the urban and metropolitan fact, increasing the challenges for the establishment of an effective metropolitan governance.

This volume presents a summary of the latest academic conference on urban and regional planning which took place at the Technical University in Berlin. The conference addressed current demands on the project-related binding land-use plan, the preparations for the plan and its legal requirements. Since the implementation of this type of plan after German Reunification, its impact on municipal development has risen. This book focuses on the specifications of this type of plan, its contract design, regulations with regard to environmental assessment as well as the project developer’s liabilities. Furthermore, it discusses the plan’s similarities and differences to other common binding land-use plans. With contributions by Dipl. sc. pol. Univ.

A buildout analysis is an important methodology in land-use planning. The GIS technicalities of doing a buildout analysis tend to be the purview of professionals with a background in geographical sciences. However, it is argued that planners ought to be able to conduct buildout analysis in order to develop a better understanding of how land-use patterns could change sustainably over time depending on a community’s regulatory environment and pace of development. A state buildout analysis is compared and contrasted with buildouts conducted for two local jurisdictions on the opposite ends of Massachusetts: the towns of Amherst and Georgetown. The town of Amherst’s computations identified lower values of developable and new commercial/industrial land and 1,878 more new dwelling units than the state-led planning initiative three years earlier. In the case of Georgetown, the UMass Amherst planning consultancy identified lower values of developable land and fewer new dwelling units and 3.5 million square feet more of new commercial/industrial land than the state-led analysis. A series of implications for teaching buildout analysis in Urban and Regional Planning studio courses is presented.
