Facing NPG implementation problems in municipal organizations:The wickedness of combined value systems

Implementing new value systems in municipal organizations to add societal value is extremely challenging. Value tensions emerge inside public organizations when the traditional (TPA) and market (NPM) value systems are confronted with new collaborative value systems (NPG). A multi-level case study, based on interviews, observations and documents, was conducted in two large Dutch municipalities to analyze implementation challenges that civil servants encounter due to the implementation of NPG. By integrating a governance mechanisms-based approach with a value tension approach, the paper contributes to the understanding of internal hybridity in municipal organizations, and the wickedness of organizing public administration when implementing NPG, by identifying both vertical - formalization, flexibilization, and misalignment in top-down and bottom-up governance - and horizontal - different organizational pillars, professions, and value interpretations - implementation challenges. The paper concludes that in the paradoxical situation of complex policy arenas, values elements of TPA and NPG governance models associated with “doing it right” remained dominant in the trade-offs with new values of NPG modes associated with “doing the right thing”. Value conflicts hinder civil servants in ‘doing the right thing right’.</p

Value integration in multi-functional urban projects:a value driven perspective on sustainability transitions

Sustainable urban development requires the integration of diverse values to achieve multi-functional goals. Blue-Green Infrastructure (BGI) projects can be considered as pioneers in value integration. By combining bureaucratic innovations (BI) and social innovations (SI) these BGI projects are able to reach a more holistic development that is characterised as a value-driven approach for sustainability transitions. In this study on BGI projects, we aim to learn how to deliver multi-functional projects through different interpretation of four factors, i.e. professional culture, governance level, geographical space, and time conception, in various constellations of BI and SI. Results of our cross-case study of four BGI projects in three European countries (the Netherlands, Belgium and Sweden) indicate that project with higher degrees of value integration balance BI and SI in following four ways: (i) heterogeneity in professions in value-decision-making, (ii) multi-level governance embedded in institutional frameworks, (iii) connecting city-wide and neighbourhood levels by boundary spanners, and (iv) having a dynamic time conception. Our findings imply that social innovation experiences on projects has to fit into the bureaucratic environment to achieve true value integration.</p

ゲオルグ・マイスター : 17世紀の庭師および彼の東洋庭園論

In Dresden, Germany, in 1692, there appeared a book titled Der Orientalisch-Indianische Kunst- und Lust-Gärtner. The title suggests that the book is about oriental gardening but its scope is wider. It is in fact a richly varied account of a gardener\u27s journey to the Far East (Fig. 1). Its author, the German Georg Meister (1653-1713), was a gardener by profession. With his book Meister became the first European garden specialist to report extensively on gardening in the Far East. The title of the book is in fact the honorific title that was bestowed upon him after his return. It refers to Meister\u27s specific \u27Oriental-Indian\u27 skill in horticulture and in the more artistic aspects of ornamental gardening. The title can therefore be translated as subsequent editions, but is at present somewhat forgotten as a source of garden history. Nevertheless, besides being a curious personal document, it contains a lot of factual information on Asian horticulture and on the introduction of information and material, namely plants, to Europe. Moreover, it has a chapter on aesthetics in Japanese garden art which is of historic importance.The present article intends to discuss the setting in which the book came about and to treat the parts on Japanese plants and garden art in more detail. It contains some quotations from the book in my English translation
