In this innovative book, ten executive politicians with backgrounds
in planning from around the world dissect their own political
careers. Reflecting on the often structural impact of their work in
political decision-making, they also consider the translation of
their experiences back into academic life or professional practice.
These revealing stories illustrate the vital role of planners in
politics. Specific examples show how they were able to make a
difference during their tenure by defining problems, setting
agendas, using different catalyst for change and raising awareness
of issues around sustainability, equity, social justice, poverty
and power. Drawing on these experiences to argue for innovative
pedagogies and practices in planning, this book illuminates the
frequently invisible work of planners in politics, the benefits of
their training and education, and the wisdom that they can offer
theorists, students and practitioners about transformative
planning. This book will be critical reading for researchers and
students of spatial planning, urban geography and politics. Urban
planners and politicians will also benefit from these insights into
the political experience of planning. Contributors include: Y.
Alagh, L. Albrechts, A. Balducci, A. Barbanente, A. da Rosa Pires,
D. De Leo, J. Ferrao, A. Hagen, J. Lerner, E. Maricato, M.
Sutcliffe, G. Tanaka, J. Throgmorton
