The capacity of institutional innovation following the diffusion of urban plans. Explorations of impacts of an urban master plan in Kigali, Rwanda. ; Die Fähigkeit zu institutionellen Innovation nach der Diffusion von städtischen Plänen. Untersuchungen der Auswirkungen eines Masterplans in Kigali, Ruanda.
In the breeding ground of urban growth, master plans are reinvigorating around the world and gain special consideration in African countries. Most of the time urban master plans are developed by mandated (international) firms, which transfer urban design scheme ideas or strategic instruments out of their planning practice. Although this process is common in everyday planning practice, there is a lack of knowledge about the consequences of such planning processes. The case of Kigali - the capital of Rwanda — reflects these urban planning phenomena. The political will and planning efforts in Kigali for urbanisation are big. City officials are constantly renewing planning policies as well as institutions and have commissioned Surbana International Consultants Pte Ltd from Singapore to develop the city’s Detailed Master Plan (2011-2013). My research, therefore, discusses institutional innovation (the amount and the extent) in Kigali, resulting from its Detailed Master Plan. The motivation behind my research is to examine the planning diffusion process through urban consultancy, with the goal of bringing analytical and interpretative aspects of the ordinary process of urban consultancy into academic discourse. Combining the concepts of innovation and planning diffusion allows for an understanding of the local consequences of global urban consultancy. My research analyses the consequences of planning diffusion looking at institutional innovation processes in urban planning of Kigali which can be linked to the implementation of the Detailed Master Plan. The analysis is conducted in two strands. The first is an analysis of innovation resulting from identifying potential and relevant institutional innovations. My work develops an analytical scheme of potential and relevant institutional innovation in order to apply it in the case of urban planning in Kigali. The second strand is an analysis of planning diffusion, which should reveal the origins of potential institutional innovation and illustrate the conceptual term. My ...
