Collaborative Planning in China: Authoritarian Institutions, New Media, Power Relations, and Public Spheres

Project description

Rethinking collaborative planning in China

Collaborative planning has become an effective means to address conflicts of interest in urban renewal and environmental management in China. However, the egalitarian principles of collaborative planning theory call into question its validity in China. The EU-funded CoChina project will examine the practices of collaborative planning in the country and identify the challenges to the assumptions of the theory, aiming to explore novel reconceptualisation routes. The project's work will lead to a new understanding of collaborative planning in China, introducing new aspects of the theory to make it more suitable for authoritarian contexts.
