The neglected places of practice
This paper situates the micro-politics of planning in the array of places in which practice occurs. Using a case study of the attempted siting of a sanitary landfill in Iowa (USA), it argues that places of practice influence not only planning deliberations, but also who participates and the transparency of the planning process. These places are thus central to our understanding of planning events as well as to the realization of democratic and just planning. The paper concludes with a discussion of the differences among place, space, and context, and a call for practice-based theorists to attend to practice places.
