摘要
Planning theorists have commonly explained planning conflict in terms of the imposition of an ostensibly universal set of values that ignores, obscures, or erases local contingencies. Most recently, this discussion has concerned the hegemony of market rationality in planning theory and practice. Within this framework, planning entails the application of a singular idea of what is rational and the marginalization of its alternatives. Treating encounters among divergent rationalities in terms of conflict and domination, however, obscures their indeterminacy in planning practice. Through a case study of the redevelopment of Coney Island, I propose a less rigid framing that treats encounters among rationalities not as inherently adversarial, but as negotiations throughout which a multiplicity of values may be suppressed, created, or transformed.
