Regional planning in transition: Policy narratives at the intersection of regional planning and sustainable infrastructure transitions

(2020) Regional planning in transition: Policy narratives at the intersection of regional planning and sustainable infrastructure transitions. PhD thesis, Queensland University of Technology.

Description

This thesis examines how policy narratives inform the regional planning approach to sustainable infrastructure transitions. Many infrastructure systems are locked into unsustainable paths, resulting in policy, land use and infrastructure relationships that are path dependent. The research finds policy narratives indicate that infrastructure systems are reconfigured amid tensions, resistance and trade-offs that inhibit and displace sustainable innovation and transition pathways. In its current traditional form, regional planning is bound to highly institutionalised and normative conditions that resist innovative, co-evolutionary and transformative change in pursuing sustainable infrastructure transitions.

Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.

These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
