The Routledge Companion to Planning in the Global South offers an
edited collection on planning in parts of the world which, more
often than not, are unrecognised or unmarked in mainstream planning
texts. In doing so, its intention is not to fill a 'gap' that
leaves this 'mainstream' unquestioned but to re-theorise planning
from a deep understanding of 'place' as well as a commitment to
recognise the diverse modes of practice that come within it. The
chapters thus take the form not of generalised, 'universal'
analyses and prescriptions, but instead are critical and located
reflections in thinking about how to plan, act and intervene in
highly complex city, regional and national contexts. Chapter
authors in this Companion are not all planners, or are planners of
very different kinds, and this diversity ensures a rich variety of
insights, primarily based on cases, to emphasise the complexity of
the world in which planning is expected to happen. The book is
divided into a framing Introduction followed by five sections:
planning and the state; economy and economic actors; new drivers of
urban change; landscapes of citizenship; and planning pedagogy.
This volume will be of interest to all those wanting to explore the
complexities of planning practice and the need for new theories of
knowledge from which to draw insight to face the challenges of the
21st century.
