Planning and Knowledge: How New Forms of Technocracy Are Shaping Contemporary Cities

by Mike Raco (Editor), Federico Savini (Editor)

Planning and Knowledge brings together contributors from a range of perspectives to explore the contemporary form and character of urban planning systems, and to ask fundamental questions about who planning is now for, what purposes it is meant to serve, and what types of knowledge underlie it. As historical systems of regulation and control come under unprecedented pressure from multiple directions, the contributors show, the landscapes of planning knowledge have become more diverse, overriding traditional separations between the public, private, and voluntary sectors.
