“…Angel, Sheppard, and Civco's (2005) study has documented the huge physical expansion of cities in the 1980s and 1990s, and the trends toward declining densities in most cases. Periurban areas around many cities are growing beyond urban infrastructure, and concerns have been raised about the resulting fragmented patterns of development, and the difficulties of servicing these areas (Singh and Steinberg 1996;Angel 2008;Archer 1996). In some Asian cities, growth is occurring along transport corridors, creating a form of "regional urbanization" (UN-Habitat 2004).…”

“…Arguments by international agencies in favor of putting infrastructure development at the core of alternatives to master planning in developing countries have been made for some time (see Devas 1993). One of the most explicit initiatives to do so developed from an action planning base for Asian countries (Singh and Steinberg 1996). This approach proposed the development of strategic structure plans to guide urban infrastructure development in combination with multisectoral investment planning.…”

“…The Physical and Environmental Development Plan provided a phased program for expansion of the city, to which infrastructure planning was linked. Spatial planning in this context was thus intended to assist in the management of urban growth, particularly by helping to coordinate the supply of infrastructure and facilities in time and space (Singh and Steinberg 1996).…”

New Directions in Spatial Planning? Linking Strategic Spatial Planning and Infrastructure Development

There are growing arguments for linking strategic spatial planning to infrastructure development, particularly within developing countries. This article assesses potentials and challenges of these approaches, focusing particularly on an emerging approach in Johannesburg, South Africa. In Johannesburg, this approach provides more powerful sets of mechanisms than planning has had in the past but is demanding and confronts significant challenges. While linking strategic spatial planning and infrastructure has commonsense appeal, the potential for these approaches is likely to vary contextually, and their role and impact may be more partial than anticipated.

“…Internationally, there are growing arguments for linking spatial planning to infrastructure 9 (UN-Habitat 2009;Neuman 2009;Singh and Steinberg 1996). In contrast to master planning, the emphasis is on the role infrastructure plays in shaping the spatial form of cities at a local and a larger scale.…”

Reinventing Planning: Critical Reflections

There is a growing acceptance in international development circles of the contribution a revitalised planning can make to addressing key urban challenges. Current expectations that planning can play roles in managing the growth of cities in ways that promote their sustainability, inclusiveness and liveability, contrasts with past perceptions of planning as an irrelevant discipline obsessed with spatial ordering and control. This paper considers whether the new forms of planning can address the challenges facing cities, with particular reference to the South African context. It does so through providing an overview of the shift in thinking about planning, and reflecting on the new agendas for planning as well as on some of their silences. It argues that the new approaches need to be understood in terms of contemporary urban and planning theories which are rethinking the nature of planning and its relationship to power and institutions, and which view cities as complex, dynamic places, embodying multiple interests and spatialities. These perspectives can help to enrich our understanding of the new approaches to planning, and to avoid ineffectiveness or a return to the negative elements of modernist planning of the past. The paper demonstrates the argument through focusing on some of the recent themes that have received attention in the contemporary international agendas for planning: the cross-cutting themes of sustainability and gender; the infrastructural turn in planning; and the ambiguities of the compact city. While these are quite particular concerns, they highlight the complexities of institutionalising the new approaches to planning, and ways of thinking about spatial planning.
