Outlining the Power of Planning

  • Chapter
Book cover The Power of Planning

Part of the book series: The GeoJournal Library ((GEJL,volume 67))

Abstract

What is the impact of urban and regional planning on social and political relations? What are the main influences of planning on the distribution of power and resources? Are they mainly ‘progressive’ or ‘regressive’? Does planning advance social reform or legitimise oppressive control? What are the political, philosophical, cultural or material roots underlying the power of planning (or lack of) in late-modern globalizing societies? Who holds the power to use the tools and instruments of urban and regional planning? Can we discern changes in the above over time and between places?
