The Role and Transformation of the City in the Experience Economy: Identifying and Exploring Research Challenges

Anne Lorentzen; Carsten Jahn Hansen

The article introduces the special issue on the role and transformation of the city in the experience economy and raises some research issues. The issue focuses on the transformative aspects that can be identified in relation to experience oriented planning and development. We show how experience economy is much related with affluence and the growth of leisure demand, and that place has a particular role to play in terms of amenities, narratives and identities. Places, and in particular cities, undergo development or commodification to attract leisure consumers, which are increasingly mobile. Both urban systems (the relative position and role of cities) and urban structures (the city fabric) change in the experience economy, and so does means and ends of planning, which can be seen to be increasingly entrepreneurial and stakeholder based.

The Experience Economy and the Transformation of Urban Governance and Planning

Hans Peter Therkildsen; Carsten Jahn Hansen; Anne Lorentzen

This article discusses the relationship between experience-oriented development and urban governance and planning, based on a case study of the city of Frederikshavn (DK). Triggered in 1999 by a sudden local economic crisis, Frederikshavn entered a process that reinvented its “mental frame” and transformed not only its urban development, but also its identity, image and governance towards an experience economic and entrepreneurial profile. We investigate what influenced urban strategy-making and planning in Frederikshavn and allowed the city to move towards an experience economy. Municipal investments, internal reorganization and public–private cooperation played significant roles. Traditional spatial (land use) planning and regulation were replaced with transformative urban growth strategies and more risk-taking experimental approaches. The municipality became a project partner that favours “actions because they create new opportunities”. Experience-oriented projects thrived in this entrepreneurial environment. However, recent political tensions between growth and welfare agendas indicate that Frederikshavn thereby exemplifies a test to the reaches or limits to government-supported neoliberal approaches in urban development and governance—and thereby also to the role of the local state.

The Roles of Planning in Waterfront Redevelopment: From Plan-led and Market-driven Styles to Hybrid Planning?

Daniel Galland; Carsten Jahn Hansen

Abstract This paper delves into the different styles and roles that planning adopts in contemporary waterfront redevelopment. Traditionally, waterfront redevelopment practices have consisted of an array of plan-led and market-driven planning styles upon which the derelict areas of post-industrial cities have been transformed. Typical examples from North America and Europe generally tend to focus on the successes that these processes have generated in connection with large-scale and emblematic projects. However, less attention has been devoted to the efforts of a more recent generation of cities undergoing waterfront redevelopment, which often features different planning rationalities, forms of governance, and competing interests. While the precise character of this newer generation does not yet seem defined, the rise of planning practices that combine previous planning styles has been key in allowing these cities achieve their redevelopment aims. In adding to this emerging generation, this paper examines the nature of waterfront redevelopment processes in Aalborg, Denmark, wherein hybrid planning styles characterized bysituation-dependent and relational planning processes have increasingly substituted former practices. The paper concludes that planning adopts different roles depending on the determinants that qualify each redevelopment case, and that hybrid planning may be subjected to public interestdilemmas given its capacity to adapt to certain political and socioeconomic patterns.

Urban transport, the environment and deliberative governance: the role of interdependance and trust

Carsten Jahn Hansen

Abstract Today, actors in policy making and planning are often faced with demands of handling conditions characterized by increasing fragmentation, differentiation and complexity. In response to an apparent limited reach of traditional monocentric and top-down governing in dealing with those conditions, a range of deliberative and more interactive governance approaches have emerged. This article discusses the central role of interdependence and trust in such approaches, based on three cases, Aalborg (DK), Lund (S) and Groningen (NL), in which environmental objectives and strategies have materialized in local transport policy making and planning. The cases offer illustrative examples of policy processes and collaboration in which the development (or lack) of interdependence and trust have been decisive. In a concluding prescriptive endeavour, several aspects are tentatively suggested as being relevant in searching for new formats for collaboration and deliberative governance and, in particular, for generating trust among interdependent actors. The concluding remark holds that deliberative governance can illuminate conflicting relations and provoke or massage those early in policy and planning processes; conflicts that would have emerged and backfired on the process anyway. The early discovery in such processes of problems, imbalances and differences in interests and opinions may improve the chance to establish and implement workable compromises on goals and solutions.Abstract Today, actors in policy making and planning are often faced with demands of handling conditions characterized by increasing fragmentation, differentiation and complexity.

Transformations in identity, governance and planning: : The case of the small city

Katie James; Michelle Thompson-Fawcett; Carsten Jahn Hansen

Cities that have transformed in response to socio-economic crises are a focus of theorists interested in identifying why changes are triggered and how they are played out. Stories of success add to knowledge of ‘fruitful’ city functioning. This paper examines how transformations in urban governance and planning can unfold in smaller cities by scrutinising the New Zealand city of Invercargill. The city underwent metamorphosis from a faded town with a negative image to one that has a new path despite isolation and small population. Leadership, networking and innovation have been key factors. The paper unveils how development fortunes on the global periphery can be reshaped by strong place leadership, revised connections between different tiers of policy making, and reframed processes of governance and planning.
