Why is it important?
The paper demonstrates that to truly grasp plan implementation praxis it is necessary to go beyond multi-actor involvement and inter-scalar government cooperation. It is necessary to scrutinize the funding sources, investigate who wins and who loses while negotiations are happening, and how plan implementation decisions are actually made.
Perspectives
1) Current strategic spatial plan implementation practices are characterized by governance arrangements, funding and power configurations. 2) Negotiations, interest groups involvement and multi-level government cooperation are pivotal governance arrangements in planning practice. 3) Private interest groups as developers and retail representatives have been increasingly involved in negotiations during plan implementation.
