Textbook in PDF format It has been said that power resides everywhere, and that it is, above all else, productive. Power is found in every social relation, embedded in all our institutions, and even in every utterance made through the ways we attach meaning to certain values, articulate knowledge claims, and negotiate discourses. The field of planning is no exception. It is a field defined by its power relations between different actors, institutions, market players, states, non-governmental organisations and the public. But how, exactly, are the productive aspects of power played out in planning? Through which mechanisms and to what ends? Can one conclude that planners have power to make a difference when power increasingly seems to be consolidated in power-ful elites; when exclusion, marginalisation and segregation have become systematic, leading to greater socio-economic and spatial injustices; when basic human needs such as housing are not defended as human rights; and when different practices of racial, gendered and religious oppression continue to be played out in so many corners of our society? Indeed, whose truth claims are valued in planning processes, and on behalf of whom do planners hope to speak truth to power? This Handbook on Planning and Power argues that there is a deep-rooted need for a greater awareness of how power plays out in the field of planning. It presents thirty-six authors’ insightful and critical analyses of how power can be both theorised and situated in planning contexts in many different parts of the world, and what, potentially, ought to be done if plan-ning hopes to make a difference. By drawing on diverse thinkers in planning research, this book reveals the cutting edge of contemporary understandings about power so as to identify the current state of knowledge about planning and power, as well as this scholarship’s new emerging trajectories. Planning, and its many roles in relation to agency and governance, has changed profoundly over the last few decades; and so too have the theories of and about power in planning, from both a critical and an explanatory standpoint. The wider world and the plan-ning discipline will undoubtedly change even further over the next few decades. Nevertheless, this book provides the reader not only with key insights into contemporary planning theories about power – and the myriad interconnections between planning and power – it also demon-strates the effects of power within planning itself and on those who are shaped and impacted positively and negatively by its diverse practices
