  • Social Equity in Planning Elizabeth Deakin Planners Are Called Upon To
    Social Equity in Planning Elizabeth Deakin Planners are called upon to promote equity in their work, to assure fairness in their procedures and secure justice through their plans and programs. Equity, fairness,jus tice - what exactly do these terms mean in planning? In this essay I shall use them essentially as synonyms, although there are nuances. Like many of our most important words, justice has many meanings. One definition of justice is to have a basis in fact and fo llow established rules and procedures to produce an impartial result. Impartiality, or the absence of prejudice or favoritism, was Cardozo's definitionof fairnessand justice under the law. Yet long tradition supports the idea that justice does not always mean treating everyone the same. For example, the law considers context, evaluating the circumstances in interpreting the facts. In addition, in Anglo-American jurisprudence equity developed as a formal body of doctrines and rules of procedure designed to supplement, and if necessary override, common law and statutes, in order to protect substantive, fundamental rights of individuals. The law of equity addresses those circumstances where the "ordinary" rules, applied in a blind or narrowly rigid fashion, would produce a result that violates our sense ofju stice in another of its meanings - that a just result is a good one. Today both the law of equity and the rules of administrative procedure, directing how governmentshould operate, recognize that due process may require the varying of rules and procedures to reflect acknowledged differences. Justice requires attention to both process and outcome. Rawlsian conceptions of justice offer a still broader conception of equity.

  • New York City's High Line: Participatory Planning Or
    New York City’s High Line: Participatory Planning or Gentrification? Ariel B. Alvarez, McNair Scholar The Pennsylvania State University McNair Faculty Research Advisor: Melissa W. Wright, Ph. D Professor of Geography and Professor of Women Studies College of Earth and Mineral Sciences The Pennsylvania State University Abstract In the last fifty years, participatory planning methods have been utilized by practicing urban planners because they emphasize citizen involvement and equitable representation of disempowered community members. This paper analyzes the degree to which the nonprofit organization and self-proclaimed community group Friends of the High Line facilitated citizen input during remediation of an abandoned elevated freight-car railway, the High Line, into a public park in West Chelsea, New York City. Findings suggest that the High Line is an atypical example of a community driven urban revitalization project and that the participatory planning model may need to be redefined when applied to affluent communities. Introduction The innovative and sleekly designed public High Line park running from Ganesvoort St. to West 20th St. in Manhattan, New York was once considered to be nothing more than an unsightly relic of New York City’s industrial past. Property developers viewed the elevated idle freight car line as a hindrance to potential economic development for the neighborhood while most West Chelsea residents paid little attention to the massive metal structure that had simply morphed into the mundane, industrial urban landscape (High Line History 2010). However, once discussion about demolishing the High Line began amongst members of the Chelsea Property Owners, a group seeking to develop real-estate below the railway, and the former New York City Giuliani administration, two West Chelsea community residents Robert Hammond and Joshua David initiated a grassroots nonprofit organization known as Friends of the High Line.

Due to the high level of training required to grasp these methods, however, rational planning fails to provide an avenue for public participation. And finally, the project did not affect, positively or negatively, neighborhood crowding problems that residents were concerned about. The rational model is perhaps the most widely accepted model among planning practitioners and scholars and is considered by many to be the orthodox view of planning. Transactive planning focuses on interpersonal dialogue that develops ideas, which will be turned into action. Jobs Senior Planner. Namespaces Article Talk. While it may seem odd to look to the past for lessons in how to integrate lay knowledge and expertise into planning more environmentally-friendly cities, it seems unnecessary to underscore the continued relevance of Cleveland's Norman Krumholz' promotion of equity as a guiding frame. Beginning in the late s and early s, critiques of the rational paradigm began to emerge and formed into several different schools of planning thought.

  • Are We All Neoliberals Now? Urban Planning in a Neoliberal
    Are we all neoliberals now? Urban planning in a neoliberal era Ian WRIGHT, Partner | Planning Government Infrastructure and Environment | Herbert Geer, Australia ABSTRACT The modernist perspective of planning is concerned with making public and political decisions in respect of the planning of our places more rationally and consistent with an overarching public interest. However the modernist perspective of rational planning action has been challenged by a postmodernist perspective of pragmatic planning, and more recently, by a neoliberal perspective rooted in the economic and political conditions of Milton Friedman’s monetarism and Friedrick Hayek’s classical liberalism. This paper considers the ideology of neoliberalism in the context of the competing ideologies of postmodernism and modernism to identify the following: > an urban change model which identifies the relationships between urban change, ideology, planning theory and planning models; > the cultural, social, economic and political conditions of neoliberalism; > the broad policy setting of a neoliberal government; > the key features of the neoliberal strategic management planning model which is used by neoliberal governments; > the key features of planning practice arising from the use of the neoliberal strategic managerial planning model; > the role of urban planners in a neoliberal state. The paper concludes that the neoliberal project is contestable and suggests that the adoption of collaborative planning processes and evidence based strategic management planning offers the opportunity for planners to reassert their professional status, rebuild the trust of the public and politicians and lift the planning profession out of its current malaise. INTRODUCTION Neoliberalism = Classical liberalism + (Theory of growth + Keynesianism) “In one sense, we are all Keynesians now.

  • Mobilizing Sustainable Urbanism:International
    MOBILIZING SUSTAINABLE URBANISM: INTERNATIONAL CONSULTANTS AND THE ASSEMBLING OF A PLANNING MODEL ELIZABETH RUTH RAPOPORT Thesis submitted to University College London for the degree of Engineering Doctorate Centre for Urban Sustainability and Resilience Department of Civil, Environmental and Geomatic Engineering September 2014 DECLARATION OF AUTHORSHIP I, Elizabeth Ruth Rapoport confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ABSTRACT Recent years have seen a growth in proposals around the globe to develop new urban areas incorporating ambitious sustainability objectives. These projects are often planned by a small, elite group of international architecture, engineering and planning consultants, the Global Intelligence Corps (GIC). This dissertation describes and conceptualizes how and why urban planning ideas travel internationally, using sustainable urbanism as a case study. The dissertation draws on qualitative research conducted between 2010 and 2012. The data is interpreted through a conceptual framework grounded in assemblage thinking, that provides a way of understanding how a model can crystallize in a particular form, but still remain dynamic and flexible. The research found that sustainable urbanism, as it is applied by the GIC, has three key objectives: the creation of “good”, high-performance and integrated urban places. The GIC have a substantial influence on international conceptions of sustainable urbanism, in part as a result of their close involvement in the development and application of some of the key devices for coordinating the model’s travels. Sustainable urbanism’s international success is linked to two factors in particular: its flexibility, which allows it to be expressed in ways that speak to the key drivers of individual urban development projects, and the ease with which the model can be deployed in an entrepreneurial climate.

  • Theorizing Planning Practice: Collaborative Planning for Smart Growth on Long Island, New York
    THEORIZING PLANNING PRACTICE: COLLABORATIVE PLANNING FOR SMART GROWTH ON LONG ISLAND, NEW YORK A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of Architecture, Planning and Preservation COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Urban Planning by Maxwell L. Sokol May 2012 THEORIZING PLANNING PRACTICE: COLLABORATIVE PLANNING FOR SMART GROWTH ON LONG ISLAND, NEW YORK KEY WORDS Smart Growth; New Urbanism; Collaborative Planning; Communicative Planning; Visioning ABSTRACT This thesis explores how an ostensible tension between communicative and new urbanist planning theories is played out in practice. In collaborative planning processes that promote compact development, do professional planners facilitate public engagement, or do they advocate for smart growth, and are these roles mutually exclusive? The methodology for addressing this question is based on a qualitative research design that comprises semi-structured, open-ended interviews with public, private, and non-profit sector planners. Long Island, New York is a worthwhile laboratory for this investigation, as a number of progressive municipalities have undertaken collaborative processes – known as visioning initiatives – to engage community-driven, bottom-up planning for downtown redevelopment around Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) stations. This thesis demonstrates that planners effectively balance the roles of facilitation and advocacy in collaborative processes by engaging in shared learning with the local participants. Planners can ethically advocate for smart growth by educating local participants about the benefits of compact development, which, in turn, can facilitate an informed decision-making process among the local participants about the context-specific future of their community. In this way, planners merge their technical expertise with the intangible local knowledge of the participants in the planning process to advance compact development that is appropriately scaled and sensitive to the existing character of the community.
