Índice Introducción. Algunos problemas a la hora de aplicar el thatcherismo a la planificación. El nuevo laborismo y el regreso de la ideología consensual. Bibliografía.ResumenEn 1997, el thatcherismo quedó barrido por el Nuevo Laborismo y la "Tercera Vía" abogada por Tony Blair. ¿Con qué consecuencias para el urbanismo? Durante 18 años en el poder, el neoliberalismo thatcheriano hizo retroceder el papel del Estado y dio absoluto protagonismo al mercado libre. El urbanismo (muy potenciado por el Welfare State laborista de posguerra) quedó erosionado, aunque los conservadores no tuvieron más remedio que reintroducirlo para resolver ciertos conflicto medioambientales y locales. El Nuevo Laborismo de Tony Blair pretende unir socialdemocracia y liberalismo en una "Tercera Vía" que busque tanto logros sociales como objetivos económicos. El Estado debe intervenir para impedir la exclusión social, pero a la vez hay que ponerle todo tipo de facilidades al mundo empresarial para que sea competitivo en la era de la globalización. La "Tercera Vía" se basa en el consenso y en la conciliación con tintes cristianos. También se basa en el desarrollo de las regiones y de la democracia local mediante políticas de descentralización.Esta nueva aceptación de lo colectivo y también la preocupación por una sociedad más ecológica le otorga al urbanismo una mayor legitimidad. Las políticas de solidaridad social y las nuevas formas de democracia local deberían favorecer al urbanismo. Pero ¿conseguirán los tres objetivos del urbanismo (eficacia económica, sostenibilidad medioambiental y cubrir necesidades sociales) encontrar su hueco, o predominarán los imperativos de la competición económica internacional?La "Tercera Vía" de Tony Blair pretende compaginar los intereses de todos para que todos salgan ganando, pero corre el peligro de que se subestimen los conflictos.AbstractIn 1997,Thatcherism was swept by New Labour and the "Third Way" championed by Tony Blair. ¿What did this imply for urban planning? For 18 years,Thatcher's neo-liberalism "rolled back" the State and gave absolute priority to free market. Urban planning (strongly promoted by post-war Labour Welfare State) underwent an important erosion, although Conservative Party governments had to reintroduce it in order to solve environmental and local issues.Tony Blair's New Labour aims to fuse social democracy and liberalism into a "Third Way", that looks for both social goals and economic objectives.The State must intervene to prevent social exclusion, but on the other hand the business community has to favoured so as to be competitive in the globalisation era.The "Third Way" is based on consensus and conciliation (even with the business community) with Christian tinges. It is also based on regional development and local democracy through decentralisation policies.This new acceptance of community and also the concern for a more environmentally aware society have given planning greater legitimacy. Social solidarity policies and new local democracy forms should also benefit planning.However, will be the three objectives of planning (economic efficiency, environmental sustainability and meeting the social needs) be fulfilled or shall we see the imperatives of international economics competition predominate?Tony Blair's "Third Way" aims to reconcile all interests so that all win, but is in jeopardy of underestimating existing conflicts.

The article analyzes the impact of economic globalization on urban planning. It demonstrates how cities find themselves internalizing a specific vision of globalization, responding with actions of city marketing. The attraction of external investment emerges as one of the great priorities of urban planning. This vision is developed by new urban elites, designated here as global growth coalitions, where the business sector is a strong interventor, resulting in an emphasis on imaging projects, spectacular, and directing resources in that direction, leaving aside local communities and promoting the increase of social polarization. Specific institutional developments in this sense result in a loss of local democratic dynamics. These cases are analyzed in detail for the cases of London, Singapore and Sydney. ; O artigo analisa o impacto da globalização económica no planeamento urbano.

Originally published in 1991, Urban Planning Under Thatcherism links theory and practice to assess the changes to the planning system since 1979. It analyses the major trends by investigating the individual modifications in the legislation and the new initiatives which have introduced procedures to by-pass the normal system. Such changes are fundamental not only to the built environment but to the quality of urban life and ultimately to the nature of society. The book argues that this orientation is the result of a policy shift from local democracy to centralisation and from the criteria of the public interest to those of the market.

This major comparative text examines what have been traditionally regarded as 'world cities' (New York, London, Tokyo) and a range of other important cities in America, Europe and Asia. The authors show the role planning has played in cities' responses to the forces of globalization, and argue for the importance of diverse planning practices.
