Global Theory and Local Practice in Planning in Halifax: The Seaport Redevelopment

Abstract

A case study of a redevelopment project in Halifax, Nova Scotia illustrates the way in which creative governance facilitated collaboration and innovation in a region with a history of poor inter-governmental relations and traditional urban–rural rivalries. Influential civic entrepreneurs took advantage of the pervasive aura of the ‘creative cities’ discourse and the thick connections among local social networks to bring the resources of three levels of government together to support the planning and development of a ‘cultural district’ on the Halifax waterfront.
