“…Both projects are located in the Netherlands and had similar aims: to redevelop their respective areas into places to live, work and play, with a creative and distinctive atmosphere by re-using the heritage buildings. As in most European countries, the public sector in the Netherlands has been very active and dominant in planning practice (Gerrits, Rauws, & de Roo, 2012;Heurkens & Hobma, 2014). Besides regulating land through detailed land-use plans, municipalities were pro-active as initiators, coordinators and risk-bearing investors in greenfield and brownfield development (Van der Krabben & Jacobs, 2013; Van der Krabben & Needham, 2008).…”

Dealing with conflict through dialogue receives considerable attention in current planning approaches. However, debate and negotiation are also inevitable features in the planning of urban redevelopment projects. Insight into the negotiation process contributes to current planning practice as negotiation provides a strong basis for addressing conflicts and satisfying both individual and common interests. In this paper the concepts of integrative and distributive negotiation are explored and analysed in two urban redevelopment projects involving cultural heritage buildings in the Netherlands. The paper shows the negotiation dynamics over time and argues that openly formulating joint ambitions and making strong statements to fulfil individual interests are both essential in coming to a mutually beneficial agreement.

“…These include: a growing plurality of planning issues; an ideological reorientation toward neoliberalism and decentralization; and societal changes, including globalization, slow population growth, industrial decline, democratization, and social protest. The role of Dutch planners has transitioned toward a more facilitating position in which change is supported rather than initiated (Gerrits et al, 2012).…”

a b s t r a c tThis article examines the transfer of knowledge and information in planning processes, particularly those related to Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) in the metropolitan region of Amsterdam. The authors conclude that knowledge transfers are often highly dependent on the actions of individuals, and that the process of knowledge exchange is frequently uncoordinated and fragmented. Planning ideas from elsewhere often provide inspiration for policy makers but these do not often lead to changes in the formulation of policy or practice.

“…The idea of coevolution highlights the notion that changes in a system and its environment are interdependent (Gerrits, 2012 Brink et al, 2006) and 'Wieringerrandmeer' (Woltjer & Al, 2007); and crucially, it forms part of a category of 'grand vision' development plans that would not be pursued in their current form if a CAS approach were widely adopted in planning.…”

“…Resistance to modernist planning approaches, a growing diversity of demands and the present-day economic crisis have prompted a search for alternative development strategies (Gerrits et al, 2012;Hajer, 2011). Alternative strategies include Organic Development Strategies (e.g.…”

How to Make Development Plans Suitable for Volatile Contexts

Development plans are central tools in spatial planning practice. They create a vision of how places should develop and prescribe how desired patterns of development will be realized. However, development plans are increasingly regarded as inflexible and even rigid when confronted by changes in their context. Conceptualizing urban districts in terms of Complex Adaptive Systems (CAS), this paper identifies ways in which more flexible development plans can be designed. This is investigated through a case study of a development plan for Blauwestad in the Netherlands, which enabled sources of rigidity to be analysed.The paper concludes with the view that from a CAS perspective, development plans are part of the structures necessary to facilitate self-organization and if designed with certain principles in mind, can play a key role in assisting the endogenous evolution of spatial developments.
