Hädrich Silva, R. (author), Stead, D. (author), Zwarteveen, Margreet (author), Kuzniecow Bacchin, T. (author)The Netherlands has initiated a process of ‘policy boosterism’ that attempts to make Dutch urban water culture and its associated imaginary of water sensitivity fit for global export. This strategic shift depends on the collaboration of a mosaic of actors, private and non-private to promote knowledge sharing between countries. As this new...conference paper 2023

Nogués, Soledad (author), González-González, Esther (author), Stead, D. (author), Cordera, Rubén (author)Autonomous vehicles (AVs) can potentially bring about major changes in cities. Anticipatory planning approaches may provide valuable opportunities for fostering desirable transitions and pre-empting undesirable impacts. This research employs a combination of two methods to define the key policies to support a transition to the desirable...journal article 2023

Stead, D. (author)This chapter outlines a conceptual model for understanding the range of policy tools which can be used in spatial planning. The classification of tools builds on the NATO model (nodality, authority, treasue, and organisation) proposed by Christopher Hood (1986) and differentiates between two separate functions of policy tools: substantive and...book chapter 2022

Meng, M. (author), Dabrowski, M.M. (author), Xiong, L. (author), Stead, D. (author)Given the greater risk of flooding in cities due to climate change, spatial planning systems are increasingly expected to contribute to flood resilience. However, incorporating expanded adaption measures in conventional planning practices remains a major challenge due to institutional barriers. Based on the theories of historical...journal article 2022

Song, Y. (author), de Jong, W.M. (author), Stead, D. (author), Yang, Wei (author), Wang, B. (author)Sustainable urban transformation has become a mantra for Chinese cities. While most studies focus on sustainable urbanization in megacities, the far larger number of medium-sized cities is understudied, although the latter face more severe urban problems. This article develops a framework for examining policy change in sustainable urban...journal article 2022

Stead, D. (author)While many policy tools can be used to develop spatial plans and implement their goals, there have been very few academic attempts to classify and illustrate the whole range of tools available. This article reviews the different ways in which planning tools have been conceptualized to date and highlights a wide variation in their...journal article 2021

Mladenović, Miloš N. (author), Stead, D. (author), Milakis, Dimitris (author), Pangbourne, Kate (author), Givoni, Moshe (author)As an emerging technology, the potential deployment of self-driving vehicles (SDVs) in cities is attributed with significant uncertainties and anticipated consequences requiring responsible governance of innovation processes. Despite a growing number of studies on policies and governance arrangements for managing the introduction of SDVs,...book chapter 2020

Nadin, V. (author), Stead, D. (author), Dabrowski, M.M. (author), Fernandez Maldonado, A.M. (author)Whether spatial planning systems are equipped to cope with contemporary regional and urban challenges is strongly dependent on their capacity to promote integration between policy sectors, to respond adaptively to changing societal and political conditions, and to involve and engage citizens in decision-making processes. This paper examines...journal article 2020

González-González, Esther (author), Nogués, Soledad (author), Stead, D. (author)The introduction of automated vehicles (AVs)is a virtual certainty. Much less certain is the timing of their introduction and how rapid the transition to full automation will be. Various governments are already working to facilitate this shift by, for example, amending and elaborating regulations to support the introduction of AVs, or...journal article 2020

Dabrowski, M.M. (author), Stead, D. (author), Mashhoodi, B. (author)By investing in the development of European territories, EU Cohesion Policy can be expected to have a positive impact on the citizens' views on the European Union. Whether and how the policy actually affects what people think about the EU remains unclear. This paper explores a range of regional determinants of EU image, from socio-economic to...journal article 2019

Mashhoodi, B. (author), Stead, D. (author), van Timmeren, A. (author)The policies of Third National Energy Efficiency Action Plan for the Netherlands, regarding the reduction of household energy consumption (HEC), were made based on the unwritten presumption that the stimuli of HEC are similar in each and every location of the Netherlands, and that it therefore is possible to formulate an identical set of...journal article 2019

Gonzalez-Gonzalez, M.E. (author), Nogués, Soledad (author), Stead, D. (author)The introduction of Autonomous Vehicles (AVs) into cities may fundamentally transform the design and use of cities. On one hand, AVs offer the potential to reduce the urban space requirements for roads and parking, creating more space for high-quality, liveable areas. On the other hand, greater motorisation and the availability to perform...journal article 2019

Meng, M. (author), Dabrowski, M.M. (author), Chan, Faith (author), Stead, D. (author)Many Chinese cities are increasingly exposed to the impacts of climate change, particularly to flooding. The National Sponge City Program was set up to address this challenge. This chapter examines how municipal interventions in spatial planning have been formulated in response to this national program. The case of Guangzhou is examined, a mega...book chapter 2018

Thomas, Ren (author), Pojani, D. (author), Lenferink, Sander (author), Bertolini, Luca (author), Stead, D. (author), van der Krabben, Erwin (author)Many cities and regions have embraced the concept of transit-oriented development (TOD). This paper explores how transfer of TOD as a policy concept impacts its implementation in the Netherlands. The study determined international policy ideas and tools that have contributed to implementation and tested them with Dutch experts using workshops...journal article 2018

Pojani, Dorina (author), Stead, D. (author)Many urban areas, both in the Global North and South, are becoming increasingly automobile-dominated and less sustainable. The need to take action is well recognized but all too often governance arrangements and the symbolism attached to automobility stand in the way. Drawing on international experience, this article summarizes some of the...journal article 2018

Stead, D. (author)Different policy approaches and responses to common environmental challenges, such as climate change, exist between countries, and sometimes even within countries. This situation arises because public policy-makers are not only driven by concerns of theoretical purity but are also influenced by a range of social, political, economic, cultural...journal article 2017

Dabrowski, M.M. (author), Stead, D. (author), Yu, Feng (author), He, J. (author)In some of the delta cities which are the most exposed to flooding caused by climate change - like Shenzhen and Guangzhou investigated in this paper - there is surprisingly little recognition of this problem and hardly any action is taken to address it. This paper draws on the insights from these two cases to address the following research...conference paper 2016

Stead, D. (author)Numerous European programmes and initiatives have been instrumental in identifying a large (and increasing) number of examples of best practice (or good practice) in the field of spatial planning. In fact, there is now a profligacy of best practice, which means that many policy-makers are confronted with too much information if they try to...conference paper 2009
