  • Transforming the governance of green spaces [Elektronski vir] : the case of Urban Green Newcastle : paper prepared for the 5th International Conference on Public Policy, Barcelona, 5-9th July 2021
    Daly, Siobhan ; Pegan, Andreja, 1985-
    This paper discusses the creation of Urban Green Newcastle (UGN), a charity and company limited by guarantee, by Newcastle City Council (NCC) to manage, protect and improve the city’s parks and ... allotments for the benefit of the public. We argue that the process of transformation can be theorised as a process of hybridisation, which is informed by the institutional logics approach (ILA) (Skelcher and Rathgeb-Smith, 2015). We discuss how multiple institutional logics – market, public value, democratic deliberation and political - manifest in the actions, principles and values exhibited by the project team, which was tasked with finding a new model for the management and governance of the city’s parks and allotments. Actors engage in institutional bricolage to manage and negotiate the opportunities, tensions and complexities of these multiple logics and, ultimately, to blend them into UGN. This paper advances our understanding of the process of hybridisation as an analytical approach as it focuses on how those involved in the hybridisation process interpret and negotiate the logics that are then carried into the hybrid form. It also contributes to debates about parks and green spaces as it provides a novel understanding of how local authorities are managing to ensure the sustainability of these assets in a context of austerity.
