Planning lag and planning paradox:A new perspective of territorial spatial planning
Territorial spatial planning serves as a guide for national spatial development and a blueprint for sustainable development.It is the fundamental basis for development,protection,and construction activities in territorial spatial domain,playing a crucial role in spatial gover-nance.In the context of rapid socio-economic changes,there is an urgent need for new perspec-tives to recognize territorial spatial planning as a dynamic system.This article addresses the is-sue of inconsistent rates of change among internal elements and subsystems of the territorial spatial planning system by proposing the concept of"planning lag"and a theoretical cognitive framework.Planning lag refers to the inconsistency between"ought to be"and"actual to be".Furthermore,this article decomposes lag into upward planning lag and downward planning lag based on the main steps of territorial spatial planning.The emergence of planning lag can be un-derstood from the paradox of ontology,the paradox of wholeness,and the paradox of value in planning.The contradiction between the certainty of planning and the uncertainty of planning objectives as well as social development context,the mismatch between the holistic require-ments of territorial spatial governance and the fragmented distribution of planning power,and the value-goal tensions among multiple stakeholders are the main endogenous causes of plan-ning lag.These three planning paradoxes act at different steps of the entire planning,ultimately leading to planning lag.Based on the understanding of planning paradox,this article proposes optimization paths for improving territorial spatial planning to bridge the lag caused by the three paradoxes.Furthermore,this article proposes approaches such as adjusting planning boundaries,optimizing the distribution of planning authority,and balancing the value orienta-tions of planning to address the practical dimension.The concepts of planning lag and planning paradox introduced in this article provide a new idea and a new perspective for understanding territorial spatial planning in the context of significant changes.
