In Regulation and Planning, planning scholars from the United
Kingdom, France, Italy, Sweden, Canada, Australia, and the United
States explore how planning regulations are negotiated amid layers
of normative considerations. It treats regulation not simply as a
set of legal guidelines to be compared against proposed actions,
but as a social practice in which issues of governmental
legitimacy, cultural understandings, materiality, and power are
contested. Each chapter addresses an actual instance of planning
regulation including, among others, a dispute about a proposed
Apple store in a public park in Stockholm, the procedures by which
building codes are managed by planners in Napoli, the role that
design plays in regulating the use of public space in a new Paris
neighbourhood, and the influence of plans on the regulation of
development in Malmoe and Cambridge. Collectively, the volume
probes the institutions and practices that give meaning and
consequence to planning regulations. For planning students learning
about what it means to plan, planning researchers striving to
understand the influence of planners on urban development, and
planning practitioners interested in reflecting on practices that
occupy a great deal of their time, this is an indispensable book.

This book advances the understanding and modelling of sensemaking
and cultural processes as being crucial to the scientific study of
contemporary complex societies. It outlines a dynamic, processual
conception of culture and a general view of the role of cultural
dynamics in policy-making, drawing three significant methodological
implications: pluralism, performativity, and semiotic capital. It
focuses on the theoretical and methodological aspects of the
analysis of culture and its dynamics that could be applied to the
developing of policymaking and, in general, to the understanding of
social phenomena. It draws from the experience and data of a
large-scale project, RECRIRE, funded by the H2020 program that
mapped the symbolic universes across Europe after the economic
crisis. It further develops the relationship between culture and
policy-making discussed in two previous volumes in this series, and
constitutes the ideal third and final element of this trilogy. The
book is a useful tool for academics involved in studying cultural
dynamics and for policy-oriented researchers and decision-makers
attentive to the cultural dimensions of the design, implementation
and reception of public policies.
