Ecological Planning in the 21st Century: Uses, Forms, Methods and Effects

Coordinators

Project presentation

In the context of renewed interest in planning, the LIEPP's Environmental Policy Research Group is setting up a study group on the use, form, method and effects of planning in a comparative and multidisciplinary approach. This project has several objectives: to analyse the renewed interest in comprehensive planning, in France and beyond, in order to clarify its meaning, usefulness and conditions of possibility in the context of the 21st century; to report on the implementation, embodied by one or more dedicated bodies within the state's political and administrative apparatus, of new resources, expertise and tools, and concrete achievements that question the role of political regulations in driving change; and finally, to make sense of the implications for all actors at the time of implementation, particularly their transformative scope. The work programme consists of a series of small-scale seminars. Bringing together practitioners and researchers, it is informed by contributions from the LIEPP to consolidate the state of knowledge and progress in thinking.

This project is being carried out with financial support from ADEME for a period of 18 months.
