Abstract
This chapter sheds light on how planning is affected by multi-level (vertical) governance relations that shape an enabling environment for planning decisions and multi-actor (horizontal) governance aspects which are crucial for integrating planning with other policy agendas and effectively engaging citizens and other stakeholders in decision-making. The chapter makes a plea for taking those inter-dependencies more seriously and basing planning decisions not only on a thorough governance and stakeholder analysis but also more direct engagement of stakeholders in decision-making, knowledge co-creation, and co-design of spatial visions, plans, and solutions.
