Description
The history of planning is often seen as a linear progression of rational development. However, this narrative overlooks the complex and multifaceted nature of planning practices. In "Making the Invisible Visible", Leonie Sandercock challenges traditional views by exploring alternative histories that reveal previously unacknowledged actors and agendas. Through a critical examination of various disciplines, including feminist, postmodern, and postcolonial perspectives, this book sheds light on indigenous planning traditions, gendered spaces, racist practices, and resistance. By redefining planning as the regulation of physicality, sociality, and spatiality, Sandercock provides a new foundation for an alternative planning paradigm. This work offers a fresh perspective on the subject, highlighting the inadequacy of modernist planning histories and providing a more nuanced understanding of the complex relationships between power, space, and society.
