Regulating land use for profit: The case of Newport quays

Abstract

Urban and regional planning concerns the integration of land use with social, economic and environmental considerations to improve the built and social environments of communities. It is a process that addresses the intersections of public space, civic culture and everyday interactions. However, urban regulation in western societies is continually evolving, as governments respond to changing economic conditions such as the recent meltdown of global financial markets. This paper addresses a case where a State Government explicitly diverted its land use policy away from social and environmental concerns to a concern with fostering local capital accumulation through property development. This diversion of land use policy is illustrative of neoliberal responses to economic weakness at a regional level by governments that have limited control over other policy levers affecting the economy.
