Overview

The evolution of planning theory from physical and spatial planning to a form of rational and communicative action has enormous impact on the profession of planning and the types of activities in which planners are involved. Planners need to have an understanding of how the philosophies behind planning drives policy agendas and planning activities and where urban and regional planning theory fits within broader aspects of urban theory.

This course covers the ideological approaches to broader urban theory and specific urban and regional planning theory that shape the humanistic and epistemological premises of planning and how we understand urban and regional experiences. It will examine the impact of various planning theories on the role of the planner and the implications for planning practice and urban development policy in the context of modernity, globalisation, inequality, difference and intersections within cities.
