Balancing Local Autonomy and Regional Objectives in Urban Planning: A Case Study of Winnipeg’s Plan 2050
Abstrak
As cities evolve and face complex challenges in growth and sustainability, balancing local autonomy with regional objectives is a critical aspect of urban planning. This chapter explores the Winnipeg Metropolitan Region (WMR) and its navigation of these dynamics through the lens of Winnipeg Plan 2050. The plan provides a strategic framework to address pressing challenges such as housing shortages, environmental sustainability, and infrastructure demands by fostering inter-municipal collaboration, policy alignment, and community engagement. Anchored in theoretical perspectives such as Polycentric Governance Theory, Network Governance Theory, and the Subsidiarity Principle, this chapter examines how Winnipeg’s planning processes integrate these paradigms to address growth, mobility, equity, and sustainability. By analyzing governance structures and planning strategies, this chapter contributes to the broader discourse on urban governance and offers valuable insights into harmonizing local and regional priorities to achieve inclusive and sustainable urban development.
