Abstract

This book examines the challenges in delivering a participatory planning agenda in the face of an increasingly neoliberalised planning system and charts the experience of Planning Aid England. In an age of austerity, government spending cuts, privatisation and rising inequalities, the need to support and include the most vulnerable in society is more acute than ever. However, forms of Advocacy Planning, the progressive concept championed for this purpose since the 1960s, is under threat from neoliberalisation. Rather than abandoning advocacy, the book asserts that only through sustained critical engagement will issues of exclusion be positively tackled and addressed. The authors propose neo-advocacy planning as the critical lens through which to effect positive change. This, they argue, will need to draw on a co-production model maintained through a well-resourced special purpose organisation set up to mobilise and resource planning intermediaries whose role it is to activate, support and educate those without the resources to secure such advocacy themselves.

A deep exploration on how questions of time and its organisation affect planning practice, this book questions 'project speed': where time to think, deliberate and plan has been squeezed. The authors demonstrate the many benefits of slow planning for the key participants, multiple interests and planning system overall.

Abstract

"Neighbourhood Planning, introduced by the Localism Act of 2011, is the right for communities to decide the future of the places where they live and work. This book examines the experience of Neighbourhood Planners, analysing what communities have achieved, how they have done so and what went well or badly. Comparing Neighbourhood Planning with other forms of community planning and highlighting the main lessons learned so far, it acts as a navigation tool for people already involved in Neighbourhood Planning, as well as those contemplating participation."--

Abstract

La mondialisation de l’économie, l’ouverture toujours plus grande à la concurrence et notamment l’intégration européenne ont contribué au déclin d’activités industrielles traditionnelles. La crise de l’emploi qui en a résulté est allée de rebondissements en approfondissements. En revanche, dans les années 1960 à 1980, les industries à fort contenu de recherche et de haute technologie se sont développées au Royaume-Uni comme en France. Les firmes ont pu croître et se redéployer en tirant parti des spécificités des nouveaux territoires qui s’offraient à leurs investissements, réservant les régions-capitales mais surtout des portions de leurs arcs périurbains, et parfois d'autres lieux, comme Toulouse et Grenoble en France, pour le travail de conception et de recherche-développement. Même si ces « technopoles » ne sont plus aujourd’hui à l’abri de la crise, la recherche et l’innovation jouent donc un rôle important dans le développement régional. Le collectif franco-britannique de chercheurs qui s’expriment, librement et parfois contradictoirement, dans ce livre, a souhaité ici ouvrir une discussion sur la portée de ce rôle, et sur les effets des politiques volontaristes en matière de recherche.

Abstract

Bringing together scholars from the areas of tourism, leisure and cultural studies, eco-humanities and tourism management, this book examines the emerging phenomenon of slow tourism. The book explores the range of travel experiences that are part of growing consumer concerns with quality leisure time, environmental and cultural sustainability, as well as the embodied experience of place. Slow tourism encapsulates a range of lifestyle practices, mobilities and ethics that are connected to social movements such as slow food and cities, as well as specialist sectors such as ecotourism and voluntourism. The slow experience of temporality can evoke and incite different ways of being and moving, as well as different logics of desire that value travel experiences as forms of knowledge. Slow travel practices reflect a range of ethical-political positions that have yet to be critically explored in the academic literature despite the growth of industry discourse.
