Situated Practices of Strategic Planning

Abstract

Strategic planning and institutional change -a karst river phenomenonThe chapter focuses on the (potential) institutional changes introduced by strategic spatial planning (SSP) episodes, and on the procedural and institutional aspects that occur in different planning systems.The contribution of the chapter lies in the explication of four key categories through which changes in 'institutional frames' can be understood and explored: technical, cognitive, discursive and socio-economic.These are presented as a means of exploring a metaphor of innovation being similar to the passage of water through Karst areas.The capacity to shape innovation is then analysed using the lens of cultural political economy and the strategic-relational approach to explore how coalitions of actors may induce various forms of transformation.
