Multiculturalism : the other always steals my enjoyment -- 8. Sustainability of and for the market? -- 9. Responsability to whom? -- 10. Beyond the mere rationality of planning.This book takes a Lacanian, and related post-structuralist perspective to demythologize ten of the most heavily utilised terms in spatial planning: rationality, the good, certainty, risk, growth, globalization, multi-culturalism, sustainability, responsibility and 'planning' itself. It highlights that these terms, and others, are mere 'empty signifiers', meaning everything and nothing. Based on international examples of planning practice and process, Planning in Ten Words or Less suggests that spatial and urban planning is largely based on the construction and deployment of ideological knowledge claims.City planningRegional planningGeographical perceptionSpace perceptionPsychoanalysisCity planning.Regional planning.Geographical perception.Space perception.Psychoanalysis.307.1/216Gunder M(Michael),1000274Hillier Jean1953-315513MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910154615403321Planning in ten words or less2295926UNINA
