Planning in settler-colonial countries is always taking place on
the lands of Indigenous peoples. While Indigenous rights, identity
and cultural values are increasingly being discussed within
planning, its mainstream accounts virtually ignore the colonial
roots and legacies of the discipline's assumptions, techniques and
methods. This ground-breaking book exposes the imperial origins of
the planning canon, profession and practice in the settler-colonial
country of Australia. By documenting the role of planning in the
history of Australia's relations with Indigenous peoples, the book
maps the enduring effects of colonisation. It provides a new
historical account of colonial planning practices and rewrites the
urban planning histories of major Australian cities. Contemporary
land rights, native title and cultural heritage frameworks are
analysed in light of their critical importance to planning practice
today, with detailed case illustrations. In reframing Australian
planning from a postcolonial perspective, the book shatters
orthodox accounts, revising the story that planning has told itself
for over 100 years. New ways to think and practise planning in
Indigenous Australia are advanced. Planning in Indigenous Australia
makes a major contribution towards the decolonisation of planning.
It is essential reading for students and teachers in tertiary
planning programmes, as well as those in geography, development
studies, postcolonial studies, anthropology and environmental
management. It is also vital reading for professional planners in
the public, private and community sectors.
