What is it about?

In this paper, we explore the application of the Continuous Planning (CP) approach in two different environments – Stavanger, Norway, and Belgrade, Serbia. Each city has its own planning traditions, legal systems, and CP implementation approach.

Why is it important?

Through a comparison between these two cases - Stavanger and Belgrade - we show how these environments face the uncertainty that accompanies long-term planning, identify the common postulates of the CP system, and map planning tools and instruments that help increase certainty in urban planning and development.

Perspectives

In this article, we have shown that CP approaches in Stavanger and Belgrade were different, but that both had positive effects catering for stable development in these cities. Through rhythmic revisions of the plan, the CP in process creates an environment for establishing a balance between a plan that envisions a long-term future and the need for flexibility in implementation. In our opinion, CP merits further theoretical and empirical exploration, as well as practical use.
