The Capability Approach in Development Planning and Urban Design
The collection of work by Masters students and staff hopes to question, complement or propose new ways of thinking about capabilities and explores how the capability approach can be applied for the purpose of development planning and urban design. The contributions in this special issue emphasise the need for the capability approach to be applied in a contextualised manner, relating to issues of structuring processes and institutional analysis; building on concepts of collective capabilities and power relations; and fostering dynamic and projective thinking.
