Over the past six or more decades, John Friedmann has been an
insurgent force in the field of urban and regional planning,
transforming it from its traditional state-centered concern for
establishing social and spatial order into a radical domain of
collaborative action between state and civil society for creating
'the good society' in the present and future. By opening it up to
theoretical engagement with a wide range of disciplines,
Friedmann's contributions have revolutionised planning as a
transdisciplinary space of critical thinking, social learning, and
reflective practice. Insurgencies and Revolutions brings together
former students, close research associates, and colleagues of John
Friedmann to reflect on his contributions to planning theory and
practice. The volume is organized around five broad themes where
Friedmann's contributions have risen to challenge established
paradigms and generated the space for revolutionary thinking and
action in urban and regional planning - Theorising hope; Economic
development and regionalism; World cities and the Good city; Social
learning, empowered communities, and citizenship; and Chinese
cities. The essays by the authors reflect their engagement with his
ideas and the new directions in which they have taken these in
their work in planning theory and practice.
