“…Although planners have generally described the development of architectural quality as an apolitical issue, a number of urban governments and political elites are starting to recognize the connection between urban design and broader economic policies. Healey et al (1997) summarize the interaction between spatial planning and socioeconomic growth by explaining the interaction between spatial planning and the dynamics of economic and social change in the urban region . Strategic planning in EIDs is a systematic approach in which a common direction is defined and allocating resources decisions are adopted to pursue this direction.…”

Despite the increasing knowledge about city branding and city identity, there is a fundamental gap in the understanding of city branding among professionals with respect to the relations between Quality of Life (QOL), Economic Improvement Districts (EIDs) and Lighting Branding (LB). This exploratory study is aimed to address this knowledge gap through in-depth interviews with 41 professionals. The results of the study suggest that the strategic potential of LB has positive effects on city nocturnal identity, QOL, and EIDs. In this study, these factors were analysed using ten types of different buildings separately. The findings of the study reveal that attention to the lighting of traditional and old buildings, recreational facilities, commercial buildings, and parks has the greatest effect on city identity. The findings of this research can be applied in planning an urban lighting master plan. The results emphasize the role of LB, lighting architecture, and nocturnal city identity in sustainable development as a determining factor in policy making.

“…What networks are in play and how this relates to local, social, economic, political, and power dynamics (see also Healey, 2010: 14)? The context involves what Healey (1997a, 1997b) calls the “hard infrastructure” laws and regulations which set the framework for the development of plans. It includes also the wider institutional context which covers constitutional arrangements, the legal framework and the culture of decision-making.…”

“…Even where the nature of plans have changed, the basic principles of the regulatory system tend to remain the same (see also CEC, 1997; Watson, 2007). This is cause for serious concern given the nature and scale of structural problems and challenges which places all over the world are now facing (see Albrechts et al., 2017; Cerreta et al., 2010; Healey, 1997a, 1997b; Moulaert et al., 2017; Young, 1990, 2000). Problems emerge out of the framing of particular issues as a problem, challenge, opportunity, whether by interest groups, citizens, planners, politicians, media or some combination.…”

Planning systems have changed little from the traditional models of the 1970s. They focus mainly on maintaining the existing social-spatial order rather than challenging and transforming it. This is done through a focus on carefully stage-managed processes with subtly but clearly defined parameters of what is open for debate suspending alternative ways of interpretation. These systems fail to capture the dynamics and tensions of relations coexisting in particular places. We argue for a more imaginative and inclusive strategic spatial planning. Core issues for this strategic planning are: imagination to broaden the scope of the possible, social justice, and legitimacy. In the tradition of empowerment planning, co-production, as a mobilizing practice of collective political organization, is introduced. For us, the emancipatory narrative of co-production fulfills a legitimating function. All this calls for a transformative agenda and must revolve around the construction of great new fictions that create real possibilities for different futures. Our three core issues force planners to extend their thinking into other epistemological worlds.

“…This is done by facilitating a better use of their endogenous potential and fostering what is often referred to as capacity building or the building up of institutional resources (see for instance Healey et al, 1997). In countries with large disparities within the urban system polycentric development strategies aim to create cohesion through encouraging certain parts of the urban system to become more competitive.…”

The way the novel concept of polycentric development is used across Europe resembles a general pattern of diffusion of innovation: new ideas emerge at many different places simultaneously. However there are many different opinions about precisely what polycentric development is. What will be made clear in this paper is that the concept of polycentric development brings together two conflicting perceptions of spatial-economic development, namely cohesion and competitiveness.
