Cognitive Closure in Urban Planning
Communicative planning literature has for a number of years discussed how to prevent social closure and how to improve access to planning processes for all parties interested in urban planning. The norms and measures discussed have to some degree been institutionalized into planning laws and been implemented in professional practice. In this article we examine how cognitive closure mechanisms work parallel with social and economic closure mechanisms, often reinforcing them, in three Norwegian cities. The article also discusses the democratic implications of these cognitive closure mechanisms, related to representation, inclusion, and accountability.
