This Special Issue provides avenues to help revive strategic planning in the Global North and to test it within distinct geographic realities and processes. Furthermore, it ought to be conducive to a greater understanding of urban sustainability, climate change, urban expansion and shrinkage, community resilience, social cohesion, and territorial innovation, as well as post-conflict, post-truth, and (de)growth scenarios.
