Planning for Sustainability: Lessons from Studying Neighbourhood Shopping Areas

Yvonne Rydin

Planning Practice & Research, 2019, vol. 34, issue 5, 522-536

Abstract: Neighbourhood shops are ubiquitous. They are also considered to contribute to sustainability. Yet they do not feature high on the planning agenda. This paper takes an empirical look at how planning engages with this feature of urban life, using London as a case study. It considers local policy frameworks for neighbourhood shopping areas and demonstrates the scope of the ambitions revealed. It considers the limitations of planning regulation for achieving these ambitions and assesses the potential offered by neighbourhood planning to protect and enhance such areas, recognising their mixed-use character.
