Introducing Evidence-Based Planning
This article introduces the concept of evidence-based planning in the context of its appearance in the UK at the end of the 1990s and traces its historical relationship to the practice of collecting information for state and public purposes from Roman taxation and the famous Domesday Book to the movements and counter-movements of the last century to its present role in politics and policy-making in the field of spatial planning. Delving into the connections between evidence and decision-making, evidence and action, the use and role of research, creativity, and social context as elements of spatial planning, the article also provides background on the perennial planning-theoretical debate. It leads into the current situation where the EU charter requires the use of the best scientific information available for decision-making and where the demand for research has increased since the year 2000 with corresponding agencies (ESDP, ESPON) and institutions being created or reorganized to fill the information gap. Pointing out what is new about evidence-based planning and how it has changed from previous practices, this article builds a framework for the articles presented in this issue, which study and evaluate the theory and practice of evidence-based planning as one of the important trends of this century.
