Today, the world is in the most serious turmoil it has experienced
for many centuries. These multiple crises arise from the
fundamental mistreatment by capitalist competition of the carrying
capacity of the planet. Even before coronavirus, evidently morbid
symptoms of over-development led many spatial planners to write of
the threat of a new Dark Age. Many advocated a return to policy
decentralisation as the Covid-19 crisis demonstrated once again the
failure of 'global controller' mindsets to manage complex systems
successfully. Dislocation: Awkward Spatial Transitions is a
critical exploration of where spatial development processes and
rules have gone wrong across many economies. The chapters lay out
which mindsets have been responsible for this and gives pointers to
new practices that aim to ameliorate the effects of past failings.
In the first nine chapters, a mapping of key elements of the
prevailing omni-crisis are summarised. These range from an exegesis
of the Anthropocene, the rise of populism, the transition to
neoliberalist anti-planning, and migration as planning issues with
pleas for evolutionary change in spatial policy and process
dynamics. Finally, a group of chapters explores the flailing as
territorial governances tried to plot the rise of creative cities,
4.0 era industry and services, and in the built form, the role of
'starchitects' in city renewal. In the last part, attention is
devoted to territorial innovation, knowledge recombination,
sustainable mobility and, finally, green entrepreneurship, as
necessary elements of a post-coronavirus, climate change mitigation
and sustainable mobility set of survival strategies. The chapters
in this book were originally published in the journal European
Planning Studies.
