Fainstein, Susan and James Defilippis. 2016. Introduction: The structure
and debates of planning theory. In: Fainstein, Susan and James
Defilippis (Eds) Readings in Planning Theory: Fourth Edition, Wiley, pp.
1-18
Problems of defining planning theory
p. 1-2

points of definition:

a) the object of producing and regulation the relations of peoples and structures in space

5

,b) the method of decision making in spatial development → different questions and priorities

 mostly explanatory by those analyzing practices
 normative by those wanting to transform practices

→ different goals

 involved and connected groups are fuzzy
 transdisciplinary field with unclear boundaries due to elements/methodologies from different
fields
 theoretical base must come from shared interest in space, place, civic community, and
pragmatic in its professional orientation

central question:

What role can Planning play in developing the good city and region within the constraints of a
capitalist political economy and varying political systems?

→ normative, long-term

Why do planning theory?
p.2

 disconnected relationship between theory and practice due to the gap between
theorists and practitioners

→ leads to intuition and instinct based decision making of what is right (not systematic
improvement)

→ referring to a theory is an important possibility to reflect the own approach and have
a proper exchange on ideas and the creative process

 decrease gap with transdisciplinary working in talking to each other

Approach to planning theory
p. 2-3

situate planning theory at the intersection of political economy, history, philosophy (a outcome
of historical, political, economic forces and those who struggle against them) and city in a
region (not a closed system, exogenous forces)

Debate History
p. 4-5

late 1800s formative years with E. Howard, P. Geddes, D. shift of planning from ends

6

, to WW1 Burnham due to the industrial city inducing texts and focused individual visions
programs (City Beautiful, redevelopment of Paris, . . ) (one-man projects)
1920- institutionalization, professionalization, self- to "objective", regulated
1945 recognition, and regional as national planning efforts process focused experts
(technocracy)


1945- standardization, crisis, diversification to open processes including
1975 civilians to reach a consensus
in equity planning and a
desired outcome (advocate
planning
1975- redefinition in relation to private sector, planner as to plans that benefit the least
present mediator, strategist, advocate in public-private advantaged the most to
relationships counter hierarchies in
resources and power (just city)

→ new critical, diverse perspectives of planning history emerged but are not as present
as standard texts

Why and when to intervene in course of things?
p. 6

duality of planning:

as a state-led/public activity vs. market is leitmotiv is not sharp defined (due to the embeddedness of
the market in legal framework by the state and state creating legal framework also adjusting to the
market)

legitimacy

 planning as a supportive measure, applied when the market fails to support the market
vs. tool to limit and actively design to diminish unjust disadvantages in contrary to the
private sector

public private partnerships during urban renewal:

 public borrow tools from private sector (sector planning place marketing) in
autonomous public authorities and urban development corporations

non-profit community development corporations (third sector) and housing associations

→ duality is not given



7

, Critic: privatiziation reduces the the ability to plan for the benefit of the mass, results from
these depend on conflict, bargain and mobilization of political resources

timing

constraints

holistic planning and vision →← with polypol of power, knowledge, resources, and
responsibilities divided between a multitude of actors

→ proliferation of neo-liberal public-private to ease proactiveness

→ limitation for planners to shape developments and scope of imagined possibilities

values

 code of ethics in many countries in the public departments
 codes do not always apply to public-private partnerships

→ why should private entities serve interests others than their own or who they are
owned by?

 individual values based on planning schools, home communities

→ influence estimations and goals for future that is uncertain even based on empirical
data in different sectors surpassing technical issues

 application of utilitarianism with weakness of distribution issues and those most
disadvantaged as an "expert"

public interest

 AICP “our primary obligation is to serve the public interest.”
 No unified entity of public interest
 values that planners hold dear: equal protection and equal opportunity, public space,
and a sense of civic community and social responsibility

→ belief in public interest

 Planners negotiating a kind of multicultural, technically informed pluralism
 Sandercock: transformative possibility of dialogue in allowing different groups to occupy
and collectively govern shared space
 a lot of challenges: sustainability, new data methods, informality
