Instead of seeking theory to justify practical professional
judgments this book describes how professionals can and should use
theory to guide these judgments. Professional spatial planning in
the US, and globally, continues to suffer from a weak conceptual
grasp of its own practice. Practitioners routinely recognize the
value and wisdom of practical judgment finely attuned to context,
nuance and complexity; but later offer banal testimony and glib
stories of 'just so' best-practice discrediting the ambiguity of
their own experience. The chapters in this book provide a
vocabulary tailored to the conventions of practical judgment,
challenging students and practitioners to treat professional
expertise as work in progress rather than 'best' practice. Instead
of seeking theory to justify practical professional judgments, Hoch
describes how professionals can and should use theory to guide
these judgments. The pragmatist plan helps cope with complexity
rather than control it, making it invaluable in the anyone's
pursuit of a planning career. This book will appeal to a wide cross
section of students and scholars, especially those working in urban
planning, public policy, and government.
