摘要

摘要估算——无论是项目预算还是客流量预测——都是有问题的规划人工制品。目前的学术界似乎有两种观点，一种认为估计是客观的，另一种认为它们是权贵的理性。如果允许的话，这两种结构都会限制规划者在日常实践中的能动性。如果估计被公认为社会结构，那么这些世界观是可以调和的。我通过重新审视Wachs的经典案例《当规划者用数字撒谎》和我自己的经验中的一个例子来探索这种另类观点。该分析使用ANT来明确在实践中通过估计工作获得的隐性知识。

Truth, Lies or Allies? The Agency of Estimates

Abstract Estimates – whether a project budget or a patronage forecast – are problematic planning artefacts. Current scholarship seems divided between those that hold estimates as objective statements and those who see them as rationalities of the powerful. Both constructs, if allowed, constrain the planners’ agency in daily practice. These worldviews can be reconciled if estimates are acknowledged as social constructs. I explore this alternative view by re-examining Wachs’ classic case of When planners lie with numbers and an example from my own experience. The analysis uses ANT to make explicit the tacit knowledge gained through working with estimates in practice.

期刊介绍： Planning Theory & Practice provides an international focus for the development of theory and practice in spatial planning and a forum to promote the policy dimensions of space and place. Published four times a year in conjunction with the Royal Town Planning Institute, London, it publishes original articles and review papers from both academics and practitioners with the aim of encouraging more effective, two-way communication between theory and practice. The Editors invite robustly researched papers which raise issues at the leading edge of planning theory and practice, and welcome papers on controversial subjects. Contributors in the early stages of their academic careers are encouraged, as are rejoinders to items previously published.
