Abstract
Sustainable Spatial Development and Change in Planning
Highlights
Urban planning systems have undergone fundamental changes throughout the last century or so
It has been argued that such issues can only be solved, if we are open to new possibilities. It is our duty as planning analysts to be aware of potential problems and opportunities arising
Whereas sustainability is a concept that works on a general level, the three more advanced spatial development concepts discussed are strongly context dependent
Summary
Urban planning systems have undergone fundamental changes throughout the last century or so. Timothy Chapin notes that in the emerging Era of Sustainable Growth, growth is still seen as inevitable and essential, but is being balanced against the long-term goal of sustainability [8] In this context Smart Growth is considered the essential tool, as its approach is to improve communities rather than seeing them as problems that require government control. ICLEI states that this ‘is an opportunity for people to re-appropriate the environment in which they live and develop a new sense of community’ This smart city approach is based on innovative, inclusive solutions to improve life for all citizens [13]. Manzi and colleagues define sustainable communities by the Egan Wheel model of eight sectors [16]: governance, transport and connectivity, services, environment, equity, economy, housing and the built environment, and social and cultural factors This agenda [sic] neglects the political dimensions. We focus on three more detailed issues, each of which can be seen as part and parcel of the abovementioned sustainability concept, and as separate issues to merit deliberation in their own rights
