Abstract
LANDTIME is a collaborative project to develop the knowledge base concerning how planning according to the Planning and Building Act (PBA) together with relevant sector legislation promotes a sustainable societal development. LANDTIME will study the PBA, development of the act’s legislative room and need for new instruments by investigating the significance of temporality in Norwegian planning, through governance/institutional and time-based perspectives with particular emphasis on planning at regional and municipal level, i.e., from regional strategy plans to detailed zoning plans. The numerous plans and planning procedures made according to the PBA and other sector specific legislation take place at different hierarchical levels, have different spatial scales and time perspectives, and are subject to periodic changes and practices of exemption. In Norway, land consolidation and land readjustment are partly decoupled from public planning. LANDTIME will also study planning and markets by investigating the interplay between public planning, private property, and property rights. In Norway private developers initiate and prepare most detailed zoning plans, and urban transformations usually rely on private development. LANDTIME will also investigate whether the PBA is an adequate framework for regional and municipal planning to facilitate sustainable industrial and business development, and how the PBA and relevant sector legislation handle development conflicts, i.e., environmental protection vs. equity, social and intergenerational justice. LANDTIME will investigate three different contexts, Nordland County with selected municipalities, City of Bergen and Indre Østfold Municipality, hereunder urban land consolidation cases from Nordland, Bergen and Indre Østfold Municipality. The challenges uncovered by LANDTIME will be subject to international comparisons. How are similar challenges managed in countries with other public planning regimes than in Norway?
