Conversations in Spatial Planning: Exploring Change in Planning Practice and Academia with Voices Across Generations and Expertise: RTPI Library Series

Editat de Kim Carlotta von Schönfeld, Susa Eräranta
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 17 aug 2026
Planning is a complex field, in which varied perspectives, politics, and potential actions are constantly negotiated. This is even more true in a changing world, in which climate change, war, inequalities, and injustices persist. Instead of proposing a single, homogenized response to key contemporary challenges, this book keeps apparent the divergent voices of people with varied levels and types of experience within the field of Planning. The key themes explored span learning, feeling, creating and acting: how social learning can and should be approached in planning; how important (dis)comfort can be in planning; what the role of arts and science can and should be in this field; and how closely academic planning research should be engaged in “activism” (and what that can mean). The book serves as an empowering tool for students, practitioners, academics, and lecturers in the field of planning to find distinct voices to engage with these pressing debates and question assumptions. It delves into ongoing conversations that these actors will inevitably be grappling with via an unusual format that allows dissonance to shine through. The book includes in-depth conversations per topic, key take-aways for different audiences, further reading materials, and suggestions for continued conversations and research.

Recenzii

"The book is a fascinating and revealing set of dialogues that bridge academic thinking and planning practice on critical issues and trends that planning is faced with currently. It fills a major gap in the literature. It offers something much more than a dialogue about planning dilemmas, and shows how and why planners – in all sectors – need to respect, listen and learn from each other."
Mark Tewdwr-Jones, Professor of Cities and Regions, University College London
"In a refreshingly unconventional way, this volume invites readers to a dialogical reflection on critical issues of contemporary planning practice. Against the often assertive attitude of academic communication, the contributors engage in a multi-voice and multi-perspective endeavour that opens up a rich array of critical entry points to the issues selected and extends their discussion beyond mainstream assumptions. This allows not only addressing challenging questions in a complex, non-reductionist way, but also appealing to readers with different backgrounds. This book will be rewarding reading for anyone willing to take critical reflection on such issues seriously."
Enrico Gualini, Professor of Planning Theory and Urban-Regional Policy Analysis,Technische Universität Berlin
