Urbanism and planning
Key concept and people mentioned in class and CR-names for Exam
Clarence N. Stone (Urban Regime Theory)
● Politics of urban governance rely on coalition building.
● Power in cities is not concentrated in one institution but distributed among a coalition of
actors.
● Decision-making is shaped by these coalitions, particularly between public and private
sectors.
● Emphasizes the role of informal arrangements in urban governance, alongside formal
institutions.
Jane Jacobs (The Death and Life of Great American Cities)
● Advocated for mixed-use development, highlighting the importance of diverse urban
environments.
● Criticized top-down planning and large-scale urban renewal projects.
● Emphasized the importance of street-level interactions, community participation, and
urban diversity for vibrant city life.
● Promoted the idea of “eyes on the street” as a way to enhance public safety.
Japperson (1991)
● Focused on the institutionalization of planning processes.
● Emphasized the role of public participation in shaping urban environments.
● Critiqued top-down approaches and called for more democratic, inclusive planning.
● Suggested that planning should be adaptive, responding to social and economic
changes over time.
Friedman (Transactive Planning)
● Advocated for transactive planning, which focuses on mutual learning between
planners and citizens.
● Challenged traditional, expert-driven planning models, promoting collaborative and
communicative approaches.
● Planners should act as facilitators rather than decision-makers, incorporating public
knowledge into the planning process.
Stone (Regime Politics)
● Politics of urban governance rely on coalition building.
● Coalitions are necessary for governing cities.
● Decision-making is shaped by these coalitions.
Castells (Global Cities)
● Differentiates between Space of Places (local spaces) and Space of Flows (networks
like technology).
