Introduction to Special Issue: ‘Translating Urban Planning Research and Pedagogy into Practice: An Australian perspective’

Carolyn Whitzman and Robin Goodman

Planning Practice & Research, 2017, vol. 32, issue 5, 491-494

Abstract: The six papers in this special issue describe a deep schism in the relationships between research, teaching and practice, with a focus on Australia. There are many reasons why translating urban research and pedagogy into practice has increased in importance in recent years. This introduction provides three negative factors—decreasing funding, relevance and voice—and two more positive factors—the rise of the ‘pracademic’ and increasing social media forms of interaction. The papers describe how the empirical and theoretical foci of planning research are symbiotic, presenting challenges and opportunities for linking practice, teaching and research into positive change.
