Collaboration, equality and land‐use planning
This article examines the connection between ethnic‐religious segregation and land‐use policy. It questions the normative capacity of collaborative planning in societies where place is imbued with multiple political, social and ethnic meanings. Using research data from Belfast, it identifies a number of challenges to discursive practice, namely the understanding of ‘place’ and how it is constructed, the emotional qualities attached to territory and the way in which professionalized policy routines moderate participatory practice. The article goes on to argue that space is being reinterpreted via statutory equality, human rights and social needs legislation, which have placed further strain on planners and planning policy in the city. However, it concludes by emphasizing the potential of collaborative planning to animate equality and social inclusion and give direction to the profession and practice in areas long divided by poverty and ethnic division. For this to happen, collaborative practice needs to inform the plan‐making process from formulation to implementation and not be limited to fairly selective public consultation exercises.
