Urban Planning and the Entrepreneurial State
Financial and opportunity costs as well as a loss of democratic accountability have been the fruits of urban planning in Victoria throughout the 1980s, Election of the Kennett government with a commitment to privatisation and the private sector generally, renders every prospect of these fruits becoming more ‘rotten’ in the 1990s. This ‘harvest’ is the outcome of five key trents evident in contemporary urban planning: privatisation, liberalisation, subsidisation, commercialisation and elitism. These are the response of Victorian governments to conditions wrought by 1) global economic restructuring; 2) the dominance of economic fundamentalism as a political discourse in Australia, and 3) the institutional structure of feredera-State government financial relations that has resulted in a perception of fiscal crisis.
