Abstract

This paper explores planning negotiations in neighbourhood-level urban redevelopment. Rapidly densifying cities routinely approve development projects that exceed zoning permissions, conditional on negotiations with developers for affordable housing and park space, among other public benefits. This paper provides a case analysis on negotiations in multi-actor urban redevelopment projects involving density bonusing in Toronto, Canada. Local actors framed urban redevelopment to justify broad public need, while using their wherewithal to build bargaining power with developers and city councillors. The paper finds that negotiations are symptomatic of ad-hoc planning and perpetuate uneven development processes, which pose challenges for planners to ensure stability and predictability in market-driven, discretionary planning environments.
