This Special Issue on “Urban and Rural Event Tourism and Sustainability: Exploring Economic, Social and Environmental Impacts” brings together eight papers. The papers focus specifically on either economic, social or environmental impacts or consider practical and conceptual overlaps across different impacts. In this collection, authors offer perspective on pressing issues concerning urban and rural tourism planning, policy and development aligned with economic, social and/or environmental impacts. The papers also outline how different approaches and contexts of urban and rural event tourism regeneration, planning and development are considered in relation to the triple bottom line as well as assess how the triple bottom line is considered when planning for sustainable event tourism futures and legacies in cities. This collection of papers aims to present new theoretical insight, perspective and/or recommendations that address further considerations and directions for urban event tourism research, concerning sustainability, policy, development and regeneration. This editorial introduces some directions and references to direct readers interested in this topical area of research going forward.

Planning Policies

Urban planning policies in New South Wales (NSW), Australia are continuously being reformed, in order to make them more economic development friendly. These reforms are concerned with making development approvals easier and faster. The implementation of these reforms and their outcomes in Greater Sydney, NSW, vary according to the local socio-economic conditions. The affluent communities in Greater Sydney are very concerned about these reforms and actively resist their application in their areas. They are successful in avoiding the application of reformed urban planning policies. However, the lower socio-economic parts of Greater Sydney in the outer areas are not able to engage with these urban policy issues. The reformed urban policies are fully applied in the poorer areas, often resulting in excessive and poor-quality urban development. Past research on urban planning policy development, application and outcomes in Sydney has not investigated selective planning policy application and its differential outcomes. This paper analyses the selective application of some recent urban planning policy reforms as they relate to socio-economic division in Greater Sydney. The research argues that the selective application of urban planning policy in Greater Sydney is reinforcing socio-economic division there.

The Tropics

The rapid pace of urbanisation in the tropics is astounding. By 2050, 2.5 billion people will be added to the world’s urban population, with nearly 90% of this increase taking place in tropical Asia and Africa. Cities such as Mumbai, Kolkata, Manila, Lagos, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Jakarta and Singapore have witnessed sharp increases in their populations. Housing this population is a critical concern of contemporary cities of the tropics. This paper highlights the case of Singapore, which has managed to provide housing to almost every person in the country through its public housing policy. Singapore’s public residential concept illustrates a successful approach to executing an urban development concept plan that optimises the use of limited land in a small country. Although such an achievement may not be easily replicated, this paper highlights three lessons that may be applicable to tropical urbanisation: implementing a sustainable housing development and urban planning policy; creating social cohesion through a public housing program; and potentially, enhancing social mobility through home ownership.

The article proves that an important condition for the economic growth of the country is to find effective mechanisms in the state regulation of investment activity in construction, for this it is necessary: to clearly define the priorities for the development of construction for the long-term period; to ensure a system of coherence and stability of the legislative framework, especially on the formation and functioning of special economic zones, territories for priority development; to reduce the tax burden on enterprises investing resources in the investment development of the construction industry; create equal conditions for competition; to direct investment in priority construction projects in terms of efficiency; provide government guarantees to investors and consolidate them at the legislative level; to ensure minimization of investment risks and the like. It was noted that the main tasks of implementing the initiatives of digitalization of state institutions in the process of state regulation of investment in construction. As a result of the conducted research, the organizational and economic model of the state mechanism for attracting investments in the construction of Ukraine has been developed, which differs from the existing components of investment activity in construction (goal, subjects, objects) by the system association, taking into account international directions of state regulation of the industry, methods of forming investment policy in the field of construction; taking into account the modern concept of the development of the digital economy and the society of Ukraine, approved by the government for the next two years. It is noted that in order to solve the housing problem, first of all, it is necessary to create favorable conditions for the companies involved in the construction, design and reconstruction of residential buildings. These conditions include improving the system of crediting housing construction (including commercial objects), corporate and monetary funds, attracting additional international resources, etc. Promising elements of housing policy development are the creation of mortgage, residential loans, insurance companies and other market structures that make it possible to finance housing construction. Of course, it is impossible to fully implement a new housing policy without reforming the wage system, which would create conditions for the interest of the population in using their incomes and savings for the construction, acquisition, and rental of housing.
