Abstract

Le Heron R. Political projects, changing urban--rural relations and mediating investment: insights from exploring dairying and Auckland's spatial planning in New Zealand, Regional Studies . The paper outlines recent attempts by New Zealand geographers to influence the balance of knowledge--power relations in decisions concerning the urban--rural environment in contemporary New Zealand. It argues for a link between 'situated knowledge' and 'geographical imagining' to strengthen understandings about the mobilization of strategic narratives or 'political projects' around visions of futures. These ideas inform a genealogy of significant moments in rural--urban relations, and enquiry into political projects at work in a national mini-conference on competition over land use. The paper concludes that framing changing rural--urban relations through the lenses of situated knowledge, geographical imaginaries and political projects greatly extends geographical insights and the capability to engage constructively in investment mediation in new ways.
