Shifts in planning tradition amid an economic crisis and in light of a planning reform: the case of Greece

Abstract: Planning tradition is contextually changing in response to the political, social and economic environment. The economic crisis of the previous decade challenged the conventional Greek planning and governance model, by introducing new planning instruments that changed the balance of public- and private-sector involvement in the planning process. These shifts engendered planning dysfunctions, as the new and existing instruments functioned in competition. The planning reform currently being implemented reinforces public planning and the concentration of power at the central government level, with the state being called upon to address long-standing deficiencies in the consistency of planning policy, efficiency and feasibility.
