Self-organization in urban development: towards a new perspective on spatial planning

Beitske Boonstra, Luuk Boelens · 1 Jul 2011

To date, participatory spatial planning has produced disappointing results. We argue that one reason is that time and again participatory planning proposals remain controlled by public government, and that public government seems not to be very adaptive to initiatives that emerge from the dynamics of civil society itself. To find out why and how citizens…

Simon Joss, Robert Cowley, Daniel Tomozeiu · 18 Jan 2013

The global mainstreaming of urban sustainability policy, since the early 2000s, points to a new phenomenon: the 'ubiquitous eco-city'. Its key features - based on the analysis of a census of 178 initiatives - include: the significant, global proliferation of eco-city initiatives; increased international knowledge transfer activities involving both public and private actors; the centrality…
