It further argues that the shift to a new technocracy is leading to the re-fashioning of planning's core objectives and purpose from an earlier focus on the value of input-centred forms of deliberation, place-making, and social justice to an enhanced concern with output-centred agendas premised on expedited development and growth. The rolling out of entrepreneurial planning requires the employment of new governance technologies, such as quantitative systems of managerialism and the implementation of a multiplicity of codifications and models that are used to define urban problems and their solutions. The rise of a new technocracy is also reflected and reproduced by the expansion of increasingly complex landscapes of knowledge production. This co-evolution has been given additional impetus as the presence of more technocratic modes of governance carries advantages for policymakers and governments struggling to maintain their wider legitimacy in contexts of growing crisis.","PeriodicalId":336977,"journal":{"name":"Planning and Knowledge","volume":"150 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132142232","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Succeeding chapters have drawn on these core characteristics to examine and assess the emergence of technocratic logics in contemporary urban environments and the interweaving of new modes of technocracy with political projects and agendas following the financial crisis. While the term ‘technocracy’ is associated with particular, and very specific, historical conjunctures, this chapter argues that by focusing on technocratic logics and conceptions of technocracy it is possible to develop more powerful insights into contemporary planning processes and governance dynamics. At the heart of this discussion lies a dialectical tension between political projects that seek to implement technocratic modes of governance in the pursuit of broader aims, on the one hand, and the complexities of places and place-politics that often lie beyond the limits of technocratic calculation and control on the other. The tensions between these dialectical perspectives are on-going, subject to multiple influences, and prone to forms of incompleteness and contestation at various scales.","PeriodicalId":336977,"journal":{"name":"Planning and Knowledge","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115847700","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This plays a crucial role in the process of development, identification, and evaluation of the so-called ‘best-practices’ of urban planning worldwide. The chapter takes this focus in order to problematise the normative force that academic knowledge can have and argues that it may contribute to the post-politicisation rather than to contest and reframe practices of urban planning. To substantiate the arguments, the chapter draws on the city of Freiburg in Germany. Despite its severe problems and challenges related to social justice and social equality, this city is widely hailed as a best-practice for sustainable urban development in much of the contemporary academic literature on this issue.","PeriodicalId":336977,"journal":{"name":"Planning and Knowledge","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125585521","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These are the financial and advanced business services (FABS) such as legal, tax, property, and other advisory firms — the ‘technicians’ who keep the financial capitalist system afloat. The chapter argues that this diverse landscape of private experts is becoming increasingly influential in shaping public planning policies and private corporate strategies in real estate development, yet they operate as unaccountable actors, far from any transparent democratic process. The role of the FABS industry is characterised by this sector's ability to generate power and strategic knowledge that determines urban and regional development. The chapter develops and exemplifies its argument in the context of Luxembourg and its vastly dynamic financial economy.","PeriodicalId":336977,"journal":{"name":"Planning and Knowledge","volume":"118 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124198714","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
