Abstract

This chapter attempts to engage with both the tension created by neoliberalism’s hegemony and how planning practices have reshaped decision making. This reflects the reconceptualised role of planners in the 21st century. Paradoxically, this perspective also illuminates the reforms of governance modes that have marginalised the public from consultative processes. Foucault’s notion of governmentality, which embodies a certain set of practices and way of thinking, was adopted to analyse the planning practices by which actions, strategies and techniques are shaped and shifted towards a neoliberal order. This also enables reflection upon what appears to be Foucault’s conception of power that discerns the act to resist freely; when there is no form of resistance, then power itself is absent, instead of becoming outright oppression and domination.
