There is no scientific evidence or sound frameworks on how place branding strategies could support the conservation of landscape amenities. This is in comparison to prior research that has thoroughly investigated how the economic revenues generated through the promotion of urban features in branding (e.g. raise of tax income) is reinvested back into improving/developing new urban features as roads, airports or in building a new cultural facility (e.g. Cleave et al., 2016). Only a few, yet relevant studies for this proposal, outline the importance of preserved landscapes amenities to economic growth and rural development (Cleave et al., 2019). Sound scientific studies are hence required to assess the existing and potential roles of amenities-based branding strategies at the urban regional level in supporting landscape conservation. This proposal addresses this gap. The primary research question – Can branding strategies at the urban regional level be used as an instrument of landscape conservation?
Pursuing any development or neighborhood plan today involves
working with a myriad of actors beyond professional collaborators
during planning and design phases. These include direct abutters,
surrounding neighbors, elected offi cials, public agencies, opponents
(often), investors, financial institutions, and regulators, all billed as
“stakeholders.” Navigating the shoals created by cadres of stakeholders
is perhaps the greatest challenge to pursuing sophisticated
ideas about and goals for urbanism.
Consensus around goals that arenot very ambitious is, unfortunately, common. However, rather thanwallow in despair about the unpredictable nature of decentralized processes, urban designers must learn to be more effective collaborators,willing participants in true interdisciplinary endeavors, and advocatesfor ideas not always their own, ideas that have the potential
to rally others around higher expectations, not expedient solutions.
Such skills are not always available in a designer’s tool kit.
Some blame the messiness of democratized processes for producing mediocrity.
On the other hand, many can offer examples of substantial benefits to projects as a result of broader community participation.
Then, too, there is that maxim among seasoned urban designers, “To
envision takes talent, to implement takes genius.”

Urban design is that part of city planning which deals with the physical form of the city. This is the most creative phase of city planning and that in which imaginationand artistic capacities can play a more important part. It may also be in some respects the most difficult and controversial phase; and because of all these factors, it has been less explored than other aspects.
With the new approach to architecture, landscape architecture, road
engineering, and city planning, accepted formulas had to be thrown
overboard.
It is logical that the changes in all these fields have developed independently, each group trying to establish a new set of principles and a new language of forms. It now seems equally logical that the progress in the different professions be brought closer together, so that a synthesis can be achieved in terms of urban design.
I do believe that now, after many years of individual, isolated work, we are logically coming to an era of synthesis. Like the instruments in an orchestra, these elements of urban design all have their parts to play in the total performance. The result must be harmonious and cannot be reached by individual competition. I believe we are conscious that city planners, landscape architects, and architects can be only part of a larger team of specialists required to solve urban design problems; but I also believe that our three professions are already very close and that it may be easier first to come to an agreement among ourselves and then, later on, discuss the participation and relationship of the other specialists who should complete the team.

Graham, Stephen, and Patsy Healey. "Relational concepts of space and place: i...Stephen Graham
This paper seeks to conceptualise and explore the changing relationships between planning action and practice and the dynamics of place. It argues that planning practice is grappling with new treatments of place, based on dynamic, relational constructs, rather than the Euclidean, deterministic, and one-dimensional treatments inherited from the 'scientific' approaches of the 1960s and early 1970s. But such emerging planning practices remain poorly served by planning theory which has so far failed to produce sufficiently robust and sophisticated conceptual treatments of place in today's 'globalising' world. In this paper we attempt to draw on a wide range of recent advances in social theory to begin constructing such a treatment. The paper has four parts. First, we criticise the legacy of object-oriented, Euclidean concepts of planning theory and practice, and their reliance on 'containered' views of space and time. Second, we construct a relational understanding of time, space and cities by drawing together four strands of recent social theory. These are : relational theories of urban time-space, dynamic conceptualisations of 'multiplex' places and cities, the 'new' urban and regional socio-economics, and emerging theories of social agency and institutional ordering. In the third section, we apply such perspectives to three worlds of planning practice : land use regulation, policy frameworks and development plans, and the development of 'customised spaces' in urban 'regeneration'. Finally, by way of conclusion, we suggest some pointers for practising planning in a relational way.

Abstract
The need for strategic thinking in destination branding has been demanded regarding the challenges tourism destinations are facing nowadays, such as at the digital level. The utilization of Information Communication Technology by tourism destinations, when well-articulated with a destination branding strategy, could be a driving force to improve their strategic positioning, competitiveness, and to optimise the benefits they derive from tourism. The aim of this paper is to explore developments in branding Portugal as a tourism destination, namely what the online tourism promotional material is saying about the country. We intend to contribute to the discussion concerning the best strategies for Destination Portugal.

Marcas territoriais como um instrumento do planeamento territorial estratégicoPrivate
A principal linha de raciocínio postulada neste documento e nos artigos académicos que lhe
deram origem - place branding como um instrumento do planeamento estratégico territorial - é uma
linha de raciocínio e de investigação que pretende ir muito mais além do que a escala regional.
Procura também distanciar-se da abordagem baseada em princípios e conceitos do branding e
marketing corporativos que continuam a dominar o discurso contemporâneo em place branding.
Importa ainda sublinhar que a linha de raciocínio exacerbada nesta tese não pretende menosprezar
ou desvalorizar o valor de uma abordagem mais próxima aos conceitos dos negócios, como branding
e marketing corporativos, mas visa sim complementá-la e enriquecê-la - explorando uma abordagem
mais geográfica-territorial ao place branding que pode introduzir mais eficácia, ser mais justa e
socialmente mais responsável.

Challenges of regional branding integrated in strategic spatial planning
• The consensus challenge: difficulties of aligning all regional actors
• The decision-making challenge: some regions are devoid of a regional
authority with the autonomy or decision-making capacity to decide upon their
own future developments.
• The storyline challenge: coordinating the messages communicated and
streamlining efforts, not only across national and regional governments, but also
across the private sector.
• The consistency challenge: Regions, either functional or political
administrative, are composed of cities, towns and villages.
• The geographical location challenge: Some regions, either functional or
those well defined politically and administratively, are identified “simply” by
geographical coordinates such as North/Northern, South/Southern regions,
which does not highlight any distinctive element.

Working hypothesis
“A governance framework will be useful to describe real-world spatial
plan making and plan implementation processes and to provide tools to
describe the key components” (in line with research proposal)
Objectives
• Investigate existing territorial-oriented governance approaches.
• Conduct qualitative research through practice-oriented interviewing
and documentary analysis.
• Develop a set of governance components in strategic spatial plan
making (step 1, output 1) and plan implementation (step 2, output 2).
• Contribute to the conceptual model and operationalization tools.
26. Detailing the 2nd aim of the project
Background: The conceptual and operational framework for analysing
territorial governance in strategic spatial planning processes (M & I)

28. Components Definitions
Coordination
CONCERNS THE PURPOSEFUL AND COLLABORATIVE ALIGNMENT OF THE
INTERESTS AND PERSPECTIVES of governments (e.g. national, regional [including
formal states, as in the German system], metropolitan and municipal), of quasi-
governmental organizations (e.g. chambers of commerce and industry), of NGOs (e.g.
nature protection), of educational institutions (e.g. universities, research centres) and of
for-profit organizations (e.g. retail companies and real estate developers).
Interest groups
This component reflects the GROUPS, FORMALLY OR INFORMALLY
CONSTITUTED, THAT MIGHT, OR MIGHT NOT, SHARE COMMON INTERESTS
regarding a specific territory or the accomplishment of a working agenda.
Working agenda
Must reflect, and COMPREHENSIVELY IDENTIFY, WHAT NEEDS TO BE
ACCOMPLISHED, such as ongoing social (e.g. gentrification), economic (e.g. the need
to boost jobs), cultural, housing (e.g. social housing), planning (e.g. urban sprawl) and
environmental issues (e.g. protecting green areas), together with possible solutions to
those issues, AVAILABLE RESOURCES AND THE RELEVANT INTEREST GROUPS.
Citizen participation
Citizens play a role in IDENTIFYING CONSTRAINTS AND THREATS, AS WELL AS IN
IDENTIFYING OPPORTUNITIES TO SUPPORT PLAN-MAKING. Citizens contribute to
the environmental, social and institutional resilience of urban regions.
Scientific
knowledge
Is the KNOWLEDGE PRODUCED BY UNIVERSITIES, research centres and other
scientific organizations.
Accountability
Is about ensuring that those in POSITIONS OF AUTHORITY, for instance the chief
planners of a regional planning department, ARE RESPONSIBLE TO THE PUBLIC
FOR MAKING DECISIONS that affect specific territories and for preparing strategic
plans that reflect the interests and utmost necessities of those territories
Leadership
Is the ability to ORGANIZE, COORDINATE AND GUIDE THE ACTIONS OF
RELEVANT INTEREST GROUPS IN PLAN-MAKING. Leadership may be performed
by individual actors (e.g. the director of a regional planning department) or by whole
institutions (e.g. a regional government)
Detailing the 2nd aim of the project
29. Detailing the 2nd aim of the project
Working definition:
Territorial governance is defined in this project as both formal and
informal processes through which an array of governmental institutions
(e.g. regional governments), non-governmental organizations (NGOs;
e.g. environmental NGOs), private actors (e.g. real estate agents),
educational institutions (e.g. universities) and civic-minded
developers come together to:
• share interests and knowledge of a territory,
• to identify key priority areas of intervention,
• to scrutinize the available resources, and
• to make decisions regarding the development of a territory.

Territorial governance components influencing processes of strategic

38. Territorial governance components influencing processes of
strategic plan-making in the selected 14 European urban regions
• Territorial governance has the potential to inform and support strategic spatial
planning in several ways.
• Territorial governance is not only planning-systems-sensitive but also
sensitive to the institutional settings;
• In cases of formally constituted regional authorities, such as in Hannover or
Stuttgart, strategic regional plan-making is considered at the heart of
planning efforts.
• Findings confirm the context sensitivity of territorial governance in
practice.
• In cases where plans are prepared in a more informal, but purposeful,
coordination among public, private and civil society, as in Oslo-
Akershus, regional planning is maximized and gains effectiveness.

46. 1) Funding schemes are often discussed during negotiations ahead of plan implementation.
(Buček, 2016);
2) Interest groups of different nature (e.g. social, economic, environmental) sit at the
negotiating table to influence the process of plan implementation by setting up priorities,
by establishing compromises and balance public with private interests (Breunig and Koski,
2017);
3) Private interest groups, often as result of negotiations (a bargaining process) contribute with
money to funding schemes (Lax and Sebenius, 1986);
4) Leadership has a core responsibility of seeking funding to support plan or project
implementation, when plans are implemented through projects (Healey, Purdue and Ennis,
1995);
5) Leadership interacts with interests groups and bring them together to support plan
implementation (Sotarauta and Beer, 2017);
6) Interests groups do lobbying a leadership in place to favour their interests to the detriment
of others (Davoudi and Cowie, 2016);
7) Leadership must organize, lead and easy the communication during negotiations
(Horlings, Collinge and Gibney, 2017).
Schematic representation of the interrelationships between negotiation,
interest groups, funding schemes and leadership in plan implementation.
47. The Role and Interrelationships of Interest Groups, Leadership, Negotiation
and Funding Schemes in processes of Strategic Plan Implementation
• Plan implementation involves negotiation as a bargaining of public versus
private interests.
• Private interest groups do lobby a regional leadership to prioritising
certain land interventions, such as new housing developments or retail
facilities; while non-for-profit groups, such as environmental NGOs, strain
to safeguard green infrastructures and public spaces.
• The political capacity of a leadership and the behaviour of regional
leaders is determinant in the decision-making regarding which land
intentions would be primarily implemented.

I hope by the end you will find your time well invested. I would like you all to know that I am very grateful. The title of this talk is the title of the CONCUR. This talk will be 80% devoted to talk about it. However, I will also share with you a bit of my research trajectory and PhD as some of you would probably be interested. Your comments and suggestions would be very well received as this is the main aim of todays event.
I have prepared, in the best of my capacity, a line up that hopefully will of your interest.
I start by introducing my self and my research expertise.
I was born in a town near Braga called Povoa de Lanhoso in northern Portugal. Also not far from the Galician border, northwest of the Iberian Peninsula. I did all my studies until staring a degree in geography and territorial planning in Guimaraes, about 20km from Braga, the district capital and the 3rd largest city in Portugal. I 2004 I finished the degree and in November of the same year I started working as planner at the tourism department of povoa de lanhoso municipality. In 2008 I finished a post-degree in tourism and regional development at the faculty of social sciences, Portuguese Catholic University while working as assistance researcher at the school of economics and management of the university of minho. In 2008 , immediately the post-degree I started a master of science in marketing and strategic management which included a 6 months period at the University Sains Malaysia in 2010. In March 2011 I defended my master thesis in regional development and competitiveness: the case of northwest Portugal. - Was during my master that I first contact Prof. Greg. Ashworth who become my Phd supervisor at the dep. Of spatial planning, University of Groningen, the Netherlands.
Professor. Ashworth supported my application to a PhD fund made available every year by the Portuguese Science Foundation.
In March 2016 I defended my phd on place branding as strategic spatial planning instrument. 3 months before that defence, on the 4th of January 2016 I started working as postdoc at WSL. Details will follow shortly.
Briefly, the main research question postulated in my phd thesis…I have explored this question by focusing on place branding IN strategic spatial planning (take as optimal approach),acknowledging, however that an alternative strand might be also possible of being explored. Objective: Lending a more geographical/spatial consciousness to the process of place branding through its integration in strategic spatial planning and make it effective, efficient, socially and environmentally responsible and more grounded in theory. As a STRATEGIC SPATIAL PLANNING instrument, PLACE BRANDING focuses on a limited number of strategic key issues and focuses on place-specific qualities, assets (whether tangible or intangible), and involves relevant place actors and the specific activities of citizens, politicians and spatial planners.
The THEORETICAL ASSUMPTION postulated in this thesis is that place branding could and perhaps should be integrated into strategic spatial planning, independent of the geographical scale of application and whether the place branding initiatives are novel or a re-branding exercise.
Place branding is not about communicating to the world the judgement that a certain place is good, but more about planning for a better place and letting the world know that authorities and organizations are trying to improve it structurally and strategically.

The ETH Domain comprises the two Federal Institutes of Technology in Zurich (ETH Zurich) and Lausanne (EPFL), as well as the four research institutes: the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI), the Swiss Federal Institute for Forest, Snow and Landscape Research (WSL), the Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology (Empa), and the Swiss Federal Institute of Aquatic Science and Technology (Eawag). With its numerous locations, the ETH Domain is firmly rooted in the Swiss regions.
The Swiss Federal Institute for Forest, Snow and Landscape Research is concerned with the use, development and protection of natural and urban spaces.
The focus of our research is on solving problems to do with the responsible use of landscapes and forests and a prudent approach to natural hazards, especially those common in mountainous countries.
WSL occupies a leading position internationally in these research areas. We also provide groundwork for sustainable environmental policies in Switzerland.
This diagram shows how the research is designed. The green part refers to the development of the theoretical model
Based on my own research in driving forces of land change and more recently on planning evaluation . I hypothezise that such a theoretical model must include three core components: spatial information on: which future development is envisioned where, how well can the urban region implement this plans and visions
and the legal and cultural context in which the urban region is located, as it affects this implementation. Governace Indicators , supraregional conditions and spatial indices
The apricot part refers to the development of tools so that theoretical model can be applied in land change science.
Red refers to the testing: - Testing the applicability of theoretical model and testing the usefulness of tools
The test will also allow to identify the direction for future improvements and research. Ultimately I envision a theoretical model that can be adapted to the mega-cities of the developing world.
The proposed research is expected to impact science as well as the society at large.
Regarding planning science: The proposed research develops a much needed theoretical framework on the impact of planning on land change.
Regarding Land change science: The proposed research will provide tools so that in future spatial planning can be incorporated as a driver in land change models of large areas, beyond the case study scale.
But is also expected to have an impact on the society at large since Efficient planning and land change modelling are pertinent to achieve more livable environments.
Territorial governance is not a single procedure or component. It encompasses a set of components, such as coordination of interests, scientific knowledge and leadership, which vary from territory to territory and are influenced by spatial planning systems and institutional settings. These territorial governance components, individually or taken together, may influence strategic spatial plan-making and spatial transformation.
Is a process that focus on territorial capacity, adaptiveness and purpose. Is responsive, accountable and responsible. It implies coordination and integration of perspectives of multiple interested groups, key players, civic society - joined-up in a hopefully collectively defined strategic-territorial agenda; It adds different types of knowledge; Is context-sensitive, focus on real-world plan-making, plan-implementation processes and on the impacts upon land change;
A territorial governance framework will be useful to describe real-world plan-making and plan-implementation processes, and also provide the tools to describe the key elements influencing the performance of territorial governance in strategic spatial plan-making and plan-implementation.
In line with Davoudi, et al. (2008), ESPON (2014), Schmitt & Van Well (2016), Stein (2010), Stead (2013) territorial governance is…
Empirical evidence for development of the theoretical model is collected in case studies, urban regions with document analysis and indicators.
Findings confirm the context sensitivity of territorial governance in practice. They also reveal that territorial governance is highly influenced by institutional settings. The suggested framework, reinforced by empirical evidence, proves to be an important conceptual and operational apparatus, which could facilitate benchmarking of further analysis of how territorial governance impacts strategic spatial planning in practice

Some of the questions the workshop aims to address are: - How important are strategic spatial plans and the planning process for land change? - How can we measure their contribution? - Do spatial concepts and strategic urban projects drive plan-implementation, and how? - What is the role of leadership, negotiation and consensus building in the governance process of plan-making and for an efficient plan-implementation? - Which external conditions affect local plan-making and implementation in terms of path-dependent versus unforeseen changes? - How can we generalize empirical findings across urban regions to develop a theory on the impact of strategic spatial plans on land-changes?
