“…Marres' issue-focused and public-centered conception of politics and democracy has had a direct impact upon a broad range of subjects/disciplines, including rural sociology (De Krom, Dessein, & Erbout, 2014), political philosophy (Asdal, 2008), political geography (Barnett & Bridge, 2013;Holifield & Schuelke, 2015), participatory design (Dantec & DiSalvo, 2013), and not least, urban and regional planning (Legacy, 2015;Leino & Laine, 2011;Metzger, 2011;Metzger et al, 2014;Paget-Seekins & Tironi, 2016;Tironi, 2015;). 1 However, her thinking can also be positioned within a broader political-philosophical trend that builds upon the idea that it is in the fleeting moments of public mobilizations that the true essence of democracy can be found (in relation to planning, see also e.g.…”

In recent years public-centered understandings of democracy have become important inspirations for scholarly debates concerning the democratization of planning processes. In this article we caution that an exclusively publiccentered understanding of planning democracy risks obscuring how public engagements in planning processes always unfold within the context of longer trajectories and broader landscapes of the evolution of democracy. In the article we counterpoint a particularly sophisticated public-centered conceptualization of democracy developed by philosopher Noortje Marres to the more historical-institutional understanding of Pierre Rosanvallon. By applying both analytical frameworks to an empirical case, we show that although Marres' public-centered approach can productively advance understandings of key dynamics in how public action in planning processes unfolds, its narrow focus on the 'heat of the action' in such episodes produces analytical blind spots with regards to the wider prerequisites and ramifications of these events. Therefore we conclude by suggesting that public-centered analyses of democracy in planning processes are at their most helpful when complemented with a more institutional understanding of the contexts within which public engagements in planning unfold.

“…A key governance question for the codified curb of the future will therefore be 'how are prices set and by whom?' Where demand for the curbside is high, it is a prime rentable economic asset, and so the extent to which it is perceived to have the character of either 'public' or 'private' is both contestable (see Paget-Seekins and Tironi, 2016 for discussion on the publicness of transport) yet also profoundly important in setting the terms for who has the right to achieve rents from its use, and for what purpose.…”

“…The contents of public services and their impacts on regional social sustainability Transport For most people, "transport," referring to the transport links between cities such as highways and railways, is the only means of participating in financial and commodity markets and accessing education, health care and other public services (Asomani-Boateng et al, 2015). Transport can serve as a great equalizer and provide a common experience for residents in different regions (Paget-Seekins & Tironi, 2016). The lack of adequate transport infrastructures can create a state of "spatial injustice," creating "lasting structures of unevenly distributed advantage and disadvantage" that are not conducive to social sustainability (Soja, 2010).…”

Public-private partnerships (PPPs) have been increasingly adopted in China. Sustainability of PPPs has become a priority for a sustainable development of PPPs. Most prior studies focus on sustainable implementation of PPP projects. Few research efforts have been done to examine the impacts of PPPs to sustainability from an external perspective and a more macro geographical scale. Meanwhile, the social aspect of the sustainability of PPPs has not been widely studied. Therefore, this study aims to propose a social sustainability contribution evaluation system (SSCES) for PPPs to evaluate PPPs' contribution to regional social sustainability at the institutional level. An indicator system of the SSCES for PPPs was developed, which included 8 requirements for socially sustainable development and 33 social sustainability indicators. The weights of indicators were determined by using the analytic hierarchy process method. The results indicate that, in the context of China, promoting peopleoriented urbanization in PPPs can help enhance regional social sustainability. This study provides a useful evaluation tool for various stakeholders to evaluate the sustainability of PPPs from an institutional level, especially for local governments to review current PPP polices and make improvements.
