Abstract
This paper applies the theory on translation and strategic planning theory to address two questions. (1) As a new tool in the Planning and Building Act (PBA), how is the Regional Planning Strategy (RPS) understood and implemented, and how can this implementation be seen as an institutional change of the regional planning system? (2) How is the strategic orientation understood and implemented?
The basis for our analysis is a study of the implementation of the RPS in Norwegian counties over three ‘generations’. We find that the translation, contextualization, and re-contextualization of the PBA regarding how the RPS are implemented are clearly diverse in 2011/12, aconvergence of concepts between the counties in generation two, and that diversity reappears in new ways in generation three.
