<p>‘Planning theory needs to be recurrently challenged and unsettled to avoid becoming ossified and to remain relevant. This volume provides thought-provoking contributions that challenge taken-for-granted truths and contribute a much-needed radical edge to contemporary debates in the field.’</p><p>Jonathan Metzger,<i> Professor of Urban and Regional Studies, KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden</i></p><p>‘This timely and well-curated collection of papers brings together contributions from many parts of the world to critically engage with alternative ways of thinking in and about planning, and to highlight some important areas that have yet to be interrogated by planning scholars. It is a welcome sequel to the 2002 <i>Planning Futures</i>, offering a wider range of perspectives from the flourishing international field of planning theories and practices.’</p><p>Simin Davoudi, <i>Professor, School of Architecture, Planning & Landscape, Newcastle University, UK</i></p><p>’Why is planning theory "tolerated by planning academics, endured by students, and ignored by practitioners?" Drawing on a wide geographic and disciplinary range of voices, this timely collection both enriches current debates, while charting possible new and creative trajectories for the future.’</p><p>Julian Agyeman,<i> Professor of Urban and Environmental Policy and Planning, Tufts University, USA</i></p>
