Marketizing the governance of design: design review in England

Abstract

This paper explores the marketization of design review in England, a tool of design governance that prior to 2011 had almost exclusively been within the purview of the state. This is no longer the case, but neither is it the case that the involvement of the market in the delivery of such services has inevitably undermined their public interest raison d’etre. The processes revealed in this paper, and its structure, draws evidence from three discrete research projects involving extensive stakeholder interviews (notably in London), ‘reunion’ workshops and a national survey of local planning authorities. It offers insight into a rare, and, according to those involved, ultimately successful example of marketization in design governance services, albeit one with potentially limited application unless the right conditions for such a market occur.
