Planning practice and the post-modern debate
While two distinct and irreconcilable approaches to planning have developed in the 1990s, planning practice has (as usual) moved on undeterred by the debate over New Times. Through a case study of practice, it is argued that planners are adapting the modern project of planning to increasingly post-modern concerns. Further, the study demonstrates how planners are seeking out marginalized voices and breaking down the critical distance between planner and planned. In doing so they are developing a 'middle way' to the nihilistic logic of post-modernity and the stultifying consensus of the neo-modernists. This progressive planning is not without its own drawbacks and the paper goes on to explore some of these.
