Time dimensions in policy making: a few insights from Piedmont transport planning
The paper builds upon the activities carried out by Ires Piemonte for accompanying the Transport Department of the Piedmont region to lay out the new regional Mobility and Transport Plan. Transport planning usually entails two main dimensions theoretical and procedural. They both entail a ladder dimension of time, which however has two distinct aspects: the former makes reference to the phenomenological features associated with the past - future arrangement of a transport system; the latter points to the stages involved in the plan design-implementation cycle. A third dimension, the reflexive dimension cuts across the other two and aims at understanding how planning operates, e.g. it sets the conditions for the mutual development of the theoretical and process dimensions. It complements the time’s ladder dimension with additional aspects concerning values and assessment of outcomes of plan’s achievements. A few aspects distinguish the MTP from earlier regional planning approaches: a) a future- oriented vision centered on sustainability principles; b) the attention paid to institutional capability and governance; c) the focus on plan performance and evaluation. These notions have challenged conventional regional planning practices, and called for modifications in the above mentioned dimensions. The reflexive dimension, in particular, is the one most concerned and summons the regional community to make sense of the plan’s orientations, causal relationships, and underlying values. To this end, the regional transport department has solicited IRES Piemonte to develop an ICT tool aimed to support this thinking effort in a collaborative way. The conceptual background of the tool builds upon the notion of policy package which calls for an effort to integrate the plan’s actions, paying attention at the different views hold by the involved actors. On a methodological ground, the tool uses a hybrid approach which exploits the potential of network and impact analyses. An application of the tool which involved participants ...
