This work attempts to demythologise 10 of the most heavily utilised terms in spatial planning: rationality, the good, certainty, risk, growth, globalisation, multi-culturalism, sustainability, responsibility and planning itself. It argues that these terms, and others, are mere 'empty signifiers', meaning everything and nothing
