Synopsis

The Urban Connection develops a promising actor-relational approach on urban planning. With respect to the usual governmental planning, it examines the issues from the outside inward, instead of from the inside out. It derives its leitmotif from the actual debate about state-controlled versus neo-liberal planning and reflects on the ideas of innovative post-structuralist scholars in the field of planning, economics, social geography and governance. It then takes its own position in that debate, deliberating on actor-oriented experiments in planning practices. These experiments deal with the daily planning practice, contrary to the usual retrospective case studies, with a proactive and operational attitude. Therefore it results in concrete suggestions how to develop a more robust planning approach in an ongoing globalizing and fragmenting world.
