Critically Reconsidering Orthodox Ideas: Planning as Teleocratic Intervention and Planning as a Rational Decision Method

Abstract

In order to improve contemporary planning theory and practice, this article critically discusses two orthodox ideas of planning that held considerable sway during the twentieth century: planning as a specific form of intervention and planning as a particular method of rational decision making. Attention and critical debate in the field of planning theory have largely concentrated on the latter, seeking above all to construct alternatives to it. Much less critical attention has been paid to the former, with the consequence that the possible alternatives have been less explored. The article suggests how to develop the debate and research in this direction.
