“…And, arguably, under market-led planning, without clear public norms we cannot have accountability. As Korthals Altes (2019) underlined the accurate coding of accountability mechanisms in contracts and establishing who is accountable may help to clarify what needs to be enhanced in the next contractual relationship. However, to clarify and re-set the public norms in these complex policy environments, more comparative empirical research is needed to decipher the positions of complex set of actors whose roles are becoming increasingly ambiguous.…”

In this article we explore the idea of public accountability in the contemporary entrepreneurial governance of cities, which are influenced by market dependency and private sector involvement. We specifically focus on the fragmentation of public accountability through hybrid contractual landscapes of governance, in which the public and private sector actors interactively produce a diversity of instruments to ensure performance in service. This is in sharp contrast to the traditional vague norms and values appealed to by urban planning institutions, to safeguard the public interest. We argue that within these complex contractual governance environments public accountability is produced by public and private sector actors, through highly diverse sets of contractual relations and diverse control instruments that define responsibilities of diverse actors who are involved in a project within a market-dependent planning and policy making environment, which contains context-specific characteristics set by the specific rules of public-private collaboration. These complexities mean public accountability has become fragmented and largely reduced to performance control. Moreover, our understanding of contractual urban governance remains vague and unclear due to very limited empirical studies focusing on the actual technologies of contractual urban development. By deciphering the complex hybrid landscapes of contractual governance, with comparative empirical evidence from The Netherlands, UK and Brazil, we demonstrate how public accountability is assuming a more ‘contractual’ and unpredictable meaning in policy and plan implementation process.

“…Residential-led mixed-use developments have been criticised for creating vacancies in other uses (Korthals Altes, 2019) and for displacing the remaining industries-seen as incompatible with housing-in post-industrial cities, hence fuelling unemployment in manufacturing (Ferm & Jones, 2016). Moreover, the tension between 'liveability for all' and investment value can lead to affordability issues (Korthals Altes, 2019, p. 1153. Despite these drawbacks, live-work mix remains a central aspect of urban development strategies.…”

This paper addresses the governance of the 'live-work mix'. This concept refers to the renewed intertwining of living and working activities in new housing and urban development in the context of welfare state restructuring, development of the knowledge economy and globalisation. Implementing live-work goals can be difficult because a consensus between public and private actors is usually needed to develop such projects. In this paper, we examine the actors and instruments that assist in the implementation of livework goals in targeted areas. We survey live-work development by analysing three illustrative projects in Brussels and Amsterdam, cities with comparable strategies but distinct planning systems. Our results indicate that state support is essential to enhance live-work mix, especially because the market remains reluctant to mix functions and focuses primarily on housing development. Flexible and tailor-made instruments are used, sometimes co-authored by public and private actors, to reach consensus. These instruments illustrate variants of strategic planning. Despite a shared interest in attracting target groups to redevelopment areas, the consensus-building process is affected by discrepancies in the nature of live-work mix.

“…Mixed-use development emphasises the efficient integration of diverse uses in well-connected locations (Grant, 2002) and higher-quality built environments (Hoppenbrouwer & Louw, 2005;Louw & Bruinsma, 2006;Mualam et al, 2019). Planners introduced it in urban development strategies, together with densification, to enhance environmental sustainability, social integration and economic development (Grant, 2002;Korthals Altes, 2019) in the context of accelerated globalisation and competitiveness. Cities have taken more proactive roles in the world economy, marketing themselves as knowledge cities and competing to attract highly skilled workers (Bontje et al, 2017;Bontje & Musterd, 2009;De Decker, 2009;Hansen & Niedomysl, 2009).…”

This paper examines the impact of institutional frameworks on ontologies of 'live-work mix', i.e., the renewed intertwining of residential and economic uses in urban developments. We aim to understand how local housing and planning regimes influence the nature of live-work mix by comparing three contrasting institutional frameworks (Amsterdam, Brussels, Stockholm), using an institutionalist approach to governance drawing on the concept of path dependency. We address two research questions: how have each city's housing and planning regimes influenced current urban development strategies, and what ontologies of live-work mix do these regimes and strategies underlie. Based on a literature review, document analysis and exploratory interviews, we show that live-work goals are defined in instruments underpinned by different discourses and early planning directions, but in which housing supply is instrumental to economic growth. Market parties play an essential role in implementing these goals as a result of critical junctures and dependencies affecting the actors involved and their governance capacity. Overall, the local ontologies of live-work mix reflect broader city understandings and are either consistently oriented towards attractiveness or, on the contrary, overlapping between, sometimes, antagonistic agendas. Used sensitively, our analytical framework appears to be relevant to understanding the local mitigation of global developments.
