%T Increasing flexibility throughout a planning lifecycle; a focus on effects in contracts and tender phases
%U https://frw.studenttheses.ub.rug.nl/2458/
%X Literature has revealed that for effective plan development, plans must be both robust and flexible. The latter appears however to be difficult to achieve. In my theoretical framework I distinguish three key features that can affect flexibility and robustness throughout the planning life cycle: 1) change management, 2) project management; through planning documents and legal procedures etc. and 3) contracting; the involvement of contractors and the way in which a contract is designed. I have sought how limitations affect the planning life cycle and how flexibility can be increased.
