Abstract

[The field of Critical planning and design introduced in this chapter and in the book contribute to the intellectual universe of critical urban studies. However, it borrow and hook strands of literature that are unrelated or new to the critical urban theory’s core. In particular, this contribution portrays critical planning and design, suggesting some pathways for intertwining critical urban theory with an idea of engaged “planning and design” approach that implies discovering an alternative history of planning counter-posed to a self-referential, manly masculine, and Eurocentric modernist account of planning. To this end, it suggests to explores and unpack theories while digging into the influential thinkers’ contributions to build one’s “usable past” as an inspiration for contemporary reflexive thinking, radical acting, and critical planning for a socially just and sustainable form of urbanization. In particular, this contribution suggests a posture to dig into the boundless planning literature in an alternative way. This is focused on searching (as rediscovering, re-reading, reframing) for the roots of disciplines from an anti-dogmatic perspective biased toward the future. This posture is twofold end consists of radicalizing problems and solutions and going to the roots of concepts and stories of planning while critically unpacking mainstream paradigms. The search for roots of the planning discipline implies engaging in a relationship with the past. Finally, the contribution hint that walking through roots, pathways, and frames of critical planning and design, is allowed by two attitudes: a plural understanding of critical and the ability to discover alternative planning and design histories that turn to be radical and insurgent.]
