    The Strategic Incrementalism of Lahti Master Planning : Three Lessons
    (Routledge, 2019) Mäntysalo, Raine; Tuomisaari, Johanna; Granqvist, Kaisa; Kanninen, Vesa; Department of Built Environment; Planning and Transportation; University of Helsinki
    The city of Lahti, Finland, has developed a unique policy of combining city strategy work with strategic master planning in an iterative process. It thereby offers insights to research on strategic spatial planning, exemplifying how institutional frameworks of statutory planning can be utilized as resources in strategic planning. Three lessons from the Lahti case are drawn: (1) utilize the moments of opportunity in the institutional environment of statutory planning, (2) shift the focus from the level of ‘strategic plans’ to the policy level of strategy work, (3) develop strategic planning as a platform for diverse ‘languages’.
