Beskrivning

Time, Politics and Place critically explores time as a political and strategic resource and currency shaping urban governance, planning processes and planning system reform across the UK and Europe. Bringing together leading researchers, it demonstrates how time has been undervalued in spatial planning and advocates for greater attention to temporalities.The lens of time highlights how different temporal modalities shape what, how and for whom we plan. Dominant approaches stress speed and growth, but these can undermine public trust, system integrity and long-term sustainability. Given the challenges faced in the 21st century, the book asserts the need to refigure the active role of time in shaping futures.

Recensioner i media

‘If planning is an attempt to control change over time, then time has long been the overlooked ingredient in Planning Theory. This book offers welcome confirmation that thinking about the temporality of planning is both essential and fascinating, with a rich diversity of approaches found across its chapters. The broad implication is that we must change how we conceptualise plans, and how we practice planning in its many contexts. If Ottar Brox showed that planning is as much about where we don’t want to go as where we aim to be, then this book shows us how to undertake the journey in a spirit of openness and generosity of spirit.' Simone Abram, Durham University
