Governing Compact Cities investigates how governments and
other critical actors organise to enable compact urban growth, combining higher
urban densities, mixed use and urban design quality with more walkable and
public transport-oriented urban development. Philipp Rode draws on empirical
evidence from London and Berlin to examine how urban policymakers,
professionals and stakeholders have worked across disciplinary silos,
geographic scales and different time horizons since the early 1990s.
The key mechanisms for integrated urban governance
which enable more compact growth are identified by focusing on the underlying
institutional arrangements that have connected strategic urban planning, city
design and transport policy in the two case study cities. These include a
hybrid model of hierarchical and network governance, the effectiveness of
continuous adjustment over disruptive, one-off ‘integration fixes’ and the
prioritisation of certain links between sectoral policy and geographic scales
over others.
