“…These systems are complex because forums are often functionally linked through some ecological, social, issue, and/or organizational process. This structural complexity makes polycentric systems vulnerable to fragmentation, often resulting in institutional and strategic externalities (Klasic & Lubell, 2020; Mewhirter et al, 2018). Comprehensively, this structural reality of polycentric systems implies that outcomes in one forum likely impact (i) the definition of policy problems, (ii) payoffs, (iii) outcomes, and (iv) institutions in linked forums.…”

In complex polycentric systems, decisions regarding the governance of certain subsystems (e.g., watersheds) are often determined by networks of diverse actors who participate across a range of forums tackling interconnected collective actions issues (e.g., water quality, biodiversity, flood management). Compounding this structural complexity are the multifaceted interdependencies that exist between forums across a system. Drawing on the Ecology of Games Theory (EGT), this article investigates the impact of different types of network linkages on outcome interdependence between forums. Using a series of spatial autoregressive models on data collected in a Tampa Bay water governance system, I find evidence that co‐membership and organizational networks serve as pathways for outcome spillovers between forums. Building theory that helps elucidate how different types of network relationships may influence outcomes across a system is critical for the continued development of EGT and the governance of polycentric systems.

“…Besides, any consensus will be under pressure when circumstances change, new stakeholders appear, and new fractures occur. Thus it is an evolving process that could have second and third-order effects, producing new relationships, new practices, and new ideas better than the current agreement (Klasic & Lubell, 2020;Innes & Booher, 1999).…”

“…The outcome state of initial plans implemented for DHNS was informed to the planning; the deviations between plan expectations and actual outcomes in a feedback form. Some empirical (experiential) knowledge challenged the previously held normative knowledge produced by the Old Dickens residents (Klasic & Lubell, 2020;Innes & Booher 1999). Examples include, how new residents' lifestyles and commuting networks were negatively affected by designing internal roads narrowly IV in adherence with the early Old Dickens residents' views.…”

Communicative planning potentials of housing estate development process in England: a case study from Dickens Heath New Settlement

In the 21st century, societies are increasingly multi-sided with secular interests, making urban issues complex, dynamic and unable to be solved by a single institution. In this context, communicative planning propagates that the pathway to finding sustainable solutions for complex social problems would come from stakeholder participation and the identification of shared interests among such secular interests (consensus building). Rooted to Habermasian communicative rationality, communicative planning argues, stakeholder participation can ponder not only the scientific knowledge but also emotive and moral knowledge of lay actors such as local communities to inform planning better. In this respect, the paper explores the extent to which communicative planning works for the housing estate delivery process in England. With key pieces of planning legislation, mandating community engagement in all forms of physical development, England is considered one of the highest forms of legal backing for communicative planning. Meanwhile, housing provision is one of the complex and critical planning concerns of all cities. Dickens Heath New Settlement (DHNS) -a large scale housing estate development in the West Midlands of England, has been selected as the case study here to investigate this communicative planning potential in the context of housing estate development. Following qualitative methods, data were collected through sixty in-depth interviews with DHNS residents, community groups, master planners and local authority planners, and documentary evidence such as the DHNS master plan and local planning documents. The findings highlighted that communicative planning had a negligible effect at the conceptual planning stage of DHNS, but accrued relatively positive outcomes at the mature design, development and management phases of the estate development. These are valuable insights for housing development practice, communicative planning theory and practice, and reflect on Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 11 -sustainable cities and communities in the context of England.
