“…Rather than offering another negative case study of exclusionary community politics, however, we aim here to draw on the constructive spirit of both hope and planning scholarship to explore what can be learned from the ways in which this mode of hoping “took place” (Anderson 2006) as a situated response to a complex “politics of space-time” (Raco, Henderson, and Bowlby 2008). In doing so, we draw on others who have acknowledged the value of learning from perceived failure in planning (Campbell, Forester, and Sanyal 2018), recognizing that “[w]hen practices cannot be considered ‘best ones’ they might still be worth attention” (Saija 2014, 190).…”

Following Baum’s proposition that planning be understood as “the organization of hope,” there has been limited scholarly engagement with what might be involved in fostering hope through planning practices. Reflecting on three years of participatory action learning and research on a deprived housing estate in Sheffield in Northern England, we explore core challenges raised by appealing to hope as an objective of community-led planning. Overall, we argue for further work to explore how the organizational technologies of planning relate to core dimensions of hope, including the ways in which unevenly developed capacities to aspire and shape diverse modes of hoping.

“…In his work on the “reflective practitioner,” Schön (1983) argues that reflection is at the core of the work of academic professionals, such as planners, architects, engineers, or lawyers, claiming that in addition to “knowing-in-action,” professionals need to be capable of “reflection-in-action.” This essentially involves understanding and mastering the “art” of dealing with “situations of uncertainty, instability, uniqueness, and value conflict” (Schön 1983, 50). According to Campbell et al (2018), this reflective practice is not only an individual skill but something that can be institutionally embedded, contending that “some organizational cultures and certain historical moments may encourage reflection while others may interpret reflection as a sign of weakness” (p. 426).…”

There is extensive literature on the agency of actors in urban and regional planning which draws on a wide range of theoretical lenses and concepts. One of the recurring themes is the relationship between agency and structure—the mutual interdependence between individual actions and collective institutions, rules, and norms. This article provides a narrative overview of the wide range of literature on agency and structure in relation to spatial planning clustered around six interrelated themes: institutions, discretion, pragmatism, networks, leadership, and emotions. It identifies new avenues for research, paying particular attention to empirical, scalar, and methodological issues.

“…The increasing number of problems related to biological invasions has led to a growing need to of evidence-based support to policy-makers in order to enhance their decisions about IAS management (Andersen et al 2004). However, actions may hide mistakes, weak points, inadequacies, gaps of knowledge, or methodological limitations (hereinafter referred to as 'deficiencies') that go unnoticed during their preparation (Maguire 2004;Campbell et al 2018). These planning deficiencies may include inadequate budget (e.g., underestimation of operational costs), insufficient duration of the financing, or removal methods that are not adapted to the IAS biology and life cycle (i.e., methods that do not consider the 'weak points' of the IAS; Bohren 2017).…”

Common deficiencies of actions for managing invasive alien species: a decision-support checklist

Despite the increasing number of invasive species, protocols devoted to assess the feasibility (i.e., probability of success or failure) of management actions in the field are scarce, yet success depends on a broad scope of issues beyond the biology of species and the ecosystem to be managed. In this paper we make a retrospective analysis of 90 actions and management proposals developed in Andalusia (southern Spain) in 2004 to 2018. Actions included 59 terrestrial and aquatic taxa. We identified items that in case of deficiency were responsible for either the rejection of action proposals (n = 44) or failure of implemented actions for which the goal was not achieved (n = 22). The most frequent deficiencies included the absence of funding during the necessary time to achieve the goals, the risk of reinvasion and an insufficient removal rate to achieve the specific objective. Based on the deficiencies found, we built a comprehensive, broad-scope compliance checklist to assist decision-makers to identify deficiencies before action. In addition, implemented actions for which the goal was achieved (n = 24) were used for validating the checklist. The checklist contains 40 items related to IAS features, administrative features, methodology effectiveness, efficiency and impacts of the action, and invaded ecosystem features. The checklist is valid across all taxa and habitats. The use of this checklist will help reduce the degree of arbitrariness and subjectivity of actions aimed at managing IAS, and a more efficient use of resources.
