A ‘congealed’ Swedish planning community? Key constraints to planning zero-carbon cities and regions
基于27次瑞典规划从业者访谈，识别出阻碍零碳城市和区域发展的四个关键制约因素：规划实践日益政治化与复杂化、规划师专业意见被绕开、以及对其专业领域失去控制。
Abstract Climate change requires us to fundamentally change the way we plan and develop our cities and regions. This raises questions about the role and capacity of spatial planning in general and the agency and expertise of planners in particular. Based on 27 qualitative interviews with Swedish planning professionals, we identify four key constraints: the increasing politicisation and complexity of planning practice, a cultivated practice of bypassing planners’ expertise and a loss of control over their own professional sphere. Our findings suggest that the Swedish planning community is ‘congealed’ rather than agile when it comes to promoting zero-carbon cities and regions.
