Topic 1: A Rational View of Planning
Lecture 1: A Relational View of Planning (including the historical
transition of law and society in bird view)
Salet, W (2014): The Authenticity of Spatial Planning Knowledge
Spatial planning was initiated by civic organizations rather than by governmental intervention
Spatial planning studies: seek to improve collective action as a form of spatial intervention in
legitimate and effective ways
* Characteristic feature: relation between theory and practice
- context-bound, normative aim of a better future, knowledge and action towards a new stage
Scientific researchers: investigate the normative practice but DO NOT intervene
a critical distance from planning authorities and other participants
*Planning studies are highly interwoven with societal networks in order to investigate practices
- Researchers keep separate roles but often employ in networks
Social practices: extremely ambiguous and complex
uncertainty of knowledge about the object of intervention an about the impact
*Social reality: hard to grasp for planners in practice, requires modesty from scientists
Insights of spatial planning theory: result of investigating actual experiences
Social evolution is not devoid of powerful social structures; the interventions have to be
responsive to social driving forces in order to make a difference
Planning is a normative engagement to achieve a better spatial future. It deals with values
and with social and political objectives, which differ in various backgrounds and rationalities,
and with issues of social and spatial transformation
Spatial planning interventions often take unexpected trajectories and display unexpected
implications. This requires intelligent strategies to deal with imperfectness and complexity
Spatial planners have become aware of the multi-faced nature of knowledge
Planners have learned to deal with planning processes as dedicated but open-minded and
open-ended processes
*The emerge of theoretical concepts: interaction
between science and action
The authentic scientific object of spatial planning
studies has five dimensions
* They have many overlaps with the science
object of other disciplines: interdisciplinary
