Abstract
New Institutionalism was central to Healey’s reconceptualization of planning theory and practice. Healey developed an original synthesis of elements of urban political economy, social constructivism, Foucauldian power analysis, relational thinking, and new institutionalism that influenced the larger ‘institutional turn’ of the 1990s and 2000s in planning theory. This essay examines the role of institutionalism in Healey’s thought, asking: What role did new institutionalist concepts play in her reframing of planning theory? How did institutionalism contribute to the development of her ideas about collaborative planning, social innovation, institutional transformations, and strategic spatial initiatives? What was Healey’s contribution to broader NI debates?

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
