摘要本文评估了2010年5月联合政府在英格兰推行的改革可能会影响规划系统的能力，以促进可持续发展。虽然权力下放的举措可能使地方对环境挑战的反应比新工党的做法更具创新性，但它们在更广泛的国际环境目标的协调、能力和问责制方面带来了困境。在某些关键方面，联盟的可持续性和规划建议的影响呼应了以前的工党政府。两者都不允许规划在更具反思性的治理形式中发挥重要作用，通过这种治理形式，对计划和项目的局部挑战可以与更广泛的总体政策变化联系起来。这两个组织都试图在其可持续性概念中更加强调经济增长。
Abstract This paper assesses how reforms being introduced in England by the May 2010 Coalition government may affect the capacity of the planning system to promote sustainability. Although moves towards decentralization may allow more innovative local responses to environmental challenges than seemed likely under New Labour, they raise dilemmas of coordination, capacity and accountability for wider, international environmental goals. In certain key respects, the implications of the Coalition's proposals for sustainability and planning echo those of preceding Labour governments. Neither allows planning a major role in more reflexive forms of governance, through which localized challenges to plans and projects can be connected to wider, overarching policy change. Both have sought to increase the emphasis on economic growth in their conception of sustainability.
