Key thinkers including Foucault, Baudrillard and Lyotard have challenged existing ideas about power and rationality in society. This book analyses planning from a postmodern perspective and explores alternative conceptions based on a combination of postmodern thinking and other fields of social theory. In doing so, it exposes some of the limits of postmodern social theory while providing an alternative conception of planning in the twenty-first century.This title will appeal toRTPI Library SeriesCity planningPostmodernismSocial aspectsElectronic books.City planning.Postmodernism.Social aspects.307.12307.1216Allmendinger Philip311318AU-PeELAU-PeELAU-PeELBOOK9910455488003321Planning in Postmodern Times1980636UNINA
