• the changing features of urban development policies and their impacts on local societies and communities;
• the changing nature of urban planning practices and their influence on public opinion formation, including forms of protest and social mobilization in opposition to planned developments;
• the effectiveness and legitimacy of established planning practices in responding to protest and social mobilization and in dealing with possibly resulting conflicts;
• the transformative potential that may be entailed in reflexively addressing protest and social mobilization and in dealing with conflicts;
• the potential integrative and innovative contribution of political agonism and social conflict to the democratization of urban policy and planning.
