The combination of cultural and time planning

Alex Deffner ()

City, 2005, vol. 9, issue 1, 125-141

Abstract: Writers on the city have only rarely focussed on how time is spent and how time is managed as part of planning. Alex Deffner gathers together and develops this work (most recently Arantxa Rodiguez’s paper in CITY vol 8 no 2) and argues that the planning of time is increasingly important: the opening hours of public and private services, the relationship of work rhythms, travel patterns and (especially) cultural practices need to be considered together. He shows how important it is that 'time planning’ is linked with planning for cultural development and presents the argument through an analysis of Athens. The paper relates issues of time to some of the dilemmas of cultural planning: What are the strengths and weaknesses of culture‐led urban regeneration? Should the focus be on high or popular culture? Should it be on spatial or time planning? And, finally, should the emphasis be on the past, the present or the future?
