Innehåll:

Planning as an empty signifier -- The lack of certainty -- Prescribing the good -- The haunting of risk -- Is smart growth dumb? -- Pressures of competitive globalisation -- Multiculturalism : the other always steals my enjoyment -- Sustainability of and for the market? -- Responsibility to whom? -- Beyond the mere rationality of planning.

Sammanfattning: 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.
