29. Mapping trajectories of becoming: four forms of behaviour in co-housing initiatives

Author

Abstract

In order learn about planning in a world increasingly characterised by resource interdependencies and a plurality of governing agencies, this paper follows the processes of becoming for two co-housing initiatives. Self-organisation--understood as the emergence of actor-networks--is the leading theoretical concept, complemented by translation from actor-network theory and individuation from assemblage theory. This theoretical hybrid distinguishes four forms of behaviour (decoding, coding, expansion and contraction) that are used to analyse the dynamics of becoming in the two cases. As a result, information is revealed on the conditions that give rise to co-housing initiatives, and the dynamic interactions between planning authorities, (groups of) initiators and other stakeholders that gave shape to the initiatives. Differences between these actors become blurred, as both try to create meaning and reasoning in a non-linear, complex and uncertain world. The paper concludes with a view on planning as an act of adaptive navigation, an act equally performed by professionals working for planning authorities and a case initiator. Keywords: assemblages, co-housing, complexity, self-organisation, spatial planning, translation, Introduction Diversification, decentralisation, dispersion of power and increasing resource interdependency in society (e.g. land, property, knowledge, competences, capital, authority) are posing serious challenges to contemporary spatial planners (Booher and Innes, [...]

44. Strategic, geographic targeting of housing and community development resources: a conceptual framework and critical review

Abstract

This article critically examines a conceptual framework for strategic, geographic targeting, an allocation model for improving efficiency in community development programs. It reviews the theoretical and empirical literature, discusses constraints and policy implications, and outlines a research agenda. Cost-savings, multiplier, and interaction effects form the core rationale for strategic, geographic targeting. Focus and neighborhood spillover effects complement these and are likely to occur more rapidly when strategic, geographic targeting is used. While the literature is largely silent on the cost-savings, focus, and neighborhood spillover effects, it supports the multiplier effect and demonstrates that it is contingent on the attainment of investment thresholds. It also identifies interventions that are likely to interact positively with programs targeting housing investment. Keywords: geographic targeting; strategic targeting: community development; multiplier; neighborhood presentation; housing investment; housing rehabilitation
