Urban Port Development Conflicts: Towards Managing an Amenity Commons

Abstract

It is argued that holistic perspectives are imperative to cope with urban policy challenges of planning and accountability in the late 1990s. A promising holistic perspective for understanding and resolving urban development conflicts is the co-management of common pool resources. With the aid of a New Zealand case study, it is demonstrated that conflicts over such resources are a manifestation of inadequate institutional arrangements for managing the “amenity commons”. If institutional arrangements are crafted so that those stakeholders who directly benefit from using a resource can communicate, agree on norms, monitor each other, and sanction non-compliance to agreements, they can substantially reduce conflict over the resource.
