Reflections on Alterity in Irish and Scottish Spatial Planning: Fragmentation or Fugue?

Abstract

The developing theory and practice of spatial planning reflects an altered state from \nthe predominant mode of development planning that has been practiced in the UK \nand Ireland in the last thirty years. The drivers of change have been located in the \nspatial representation of difference, reinforcing divergence and local distinctiveness. \nAt the same time, there have been wider pressures for cooperative convergence, \nwithin a global economic and European context. This paper reflects on these differing \npressures on the approaches to managing the spaces of the nation and discusses \nwhether these are evidence of fragmentation or represent a policy fugue, \ncharacterised through repeated themes and patterned variations.
