, Explain Fainstein's Planning Theory approaches as well as what they are reactions to. -
CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔- Fainstein exames three approaches to planning theory: the

reacts to the social and spatial inequality engendered by capitalism.

- (1 ) Manipula- tion and (2) Therapy.
These two rungs describe levels of "non-participation" that have been contrived by some to
substitute for genuine participation. Their real ob- jective is not to enable people to participate
in planning or conducting programs, but to enable powerholders to "educate" or "cure" the
participants. Rungs 3 and 4 progress to levels of "tokenism" that allow the have- nots to hear
and to have a voice:
- (3) Znforming and (4) Considtation.
When they are proffered by power- holders as the total extent of participation, citizens may
indeed hear and be heard. But under these conditions they lack the power to insure that their
views will be heeded by the powerful, When participation is re- stricted to these levels, there
is no followthrough, no "muscle," hence no assurance of changing the status quo.
- (5) Placation, is simply a higher level tokenism because the groundrules allow have-nots to
advise, but retain for the powerholders the continued right to decide. Further up the ladder are
levels of citizen power with increasing degrees of decision-making clout. Citizens
ARNSTEIN can enter into a (6) Partnership that enables them to negotiate and engage in
trade-offs with traditional powerholders.
At the topmost rungs, (7) Delegated Power and (8) Citizen Control, have-not citizens obtain
the majority of decision-making seats, or full managerial power.
