Disruptive Urbanism examines how different forms and modes of the
so called "sharing economy" are manifesting in cities and regions
throughout the world, and how policy makers are responding to these
disruptions. The emergence of the so called "sharing economy" and
the "disruptive technologies" have profound implications for urban
policy and governance. Initial expectations that "sharing" of
homes, offices or vehicles could solve urban problems such as
congestion or housing affordability have given way to concerns over
job precarity, neighbourhood transformation, and the growing power
of platforms in disrupting urban governance and regulation.
Contributors to this volume canvas these issues, examining how the
"sharing economy" is manifesting in urban areas, the implications
of this for urban living, and how policy makers are responding to
these changes. Implications for urban research, policy, and
practice are highlighted through chapters which address forms of
urban "sharing" across housing, transport, work, and food and wider
processes of globalisation and neoliberalism as they disrupt cities
and urban policy making. Disruptive Urbanism will be of great
interest to scholars of urban planning, urban governance, the
sharing economy, and housing studies. The chapters were originally
published as a special issue of Urban Policy and Research.
In recent years many nations have asked why not enough housing is
being built or, when it is built, why it isn't of the highest
quality or in the best, most sustainable, locations. Politics,
Planning and Housing Supply in Australia, England and Hong Kong
examines the politics and planning of new homes in three very
different settings, but with shared political traditions: in
Australia, in England and in Hong Kong. It investigates the
power-relationships and politics that underpin the allocation of
land for large-scale residential schemes and the processes and
politics that lead to particular development outcomes. Using a
comparative framework, it asks: how different systems of urban
governance and planning mediate the supply of land for housing;
whether and how these system differences influence the location,
quantity and price of residential land and the implications for
housing outcomes; what can be learned from these different systems
for allocating land, building consensus between different
stakeholders, and delivering a steady supply of high quality and
well located homes accessible to, and appropriate for, diverse
housing needs. This book frames each case study in a comprehensive
examination of national and territorial frameworks before
dissecting key local cases. These local cases - urban renewal and
greenfield growth centres in Australia, new towns and strategic
sites in England, and major development schemes in Hong Kong -
explore how broader urban planning and housing policy goals play
out at the local level. While the book highlights a number of
potential strategies for improving planning and housing delivery
processes, the real challenge is to give voice to a broader array
of interests, reconstituting the political process surrounding
planning and housing development to prioritise homes in
well-planned places for the many, rather than simply facilitating
investment opportunities for the few.

This book re-examines the role of urban policy and planning in
relation to the housing market in an era of global uncertainty and
change. The relationship between planning and the housing market is
a contested problem across research, policy, and practice. Problems
with housing supply and affordability in many nations have been
linked to planning system constraints, while the global financial
crisis has raised new questions about the role of urban planning
regulation and processes in responding to housing market trends.
With reference to international cases from the United Kingdom, the
United States, Ireland, Hong Kong and Australia, the book examines
how different systems of urban planning and governance address
complex and dynamic housing market trends. It also offers practical
guidance on how urban planning can support an efficient supply of
appropriate and affordable homes in preferred locations. A detailed
study, which explains and decodes the workings of the planning
system and housing market, this book will be of particular interest
to scholars of human geography and urban planning, as well as
housing policy makers and practitioners. To view Nicole Gurran's
