Perspective and Concepts

Greg Young coined the term culturization and developed a concept and model for culturized planning first outlined in ‘The Culturization of Planning’ Planning Theory 2008 and then with illustrated global case studies in Reshaping Planning with Culture 2008. Culturized governance is outlined in his chapters in The Ashgate Research Companion to Planning and Culture for which he was Principal Editor. At its most fundamental culturization means the positive integration of culture in planning, broader governance and social uptake. The concept is encompassed by an umbrella cultural paradigm for governance and planning outlined in the same publication.

From the 1980s onwards Greg Young contributed to a number of key, pioneering strategies in Australia on culture including the NSW Government system of heritage studies, the NSW Cultural Tourism Strategy (1991), Australia’s first national cultural policy Creative Nation and the Australian Government’s model for cultural mapping published as Mapping Culture – A Guide for Cultural and Economic Development in Communities. His culturised model for planning is utilized in planning teaching, research and governance internationally based on a comprehensive concept of culture and holistic research using critical, creative, ethical and reflective standards, techniques and approaches.
