Planning Knowledge

Publications: Contribution to bookChapterPeer Reviewed

Abstract

The epistemological question of knowledge of spatial planning can be expressed in knowledge of the present and the future. Planning theories reflect the ambivalence of the essential future orientation of planning knowledge and the importance of the normativity of this knowledge. Planning knowledge describes the fundamental establishing of planning approaches. A distinction can be made between descriptive, analytical, prescriptive and normative knowledge, however, decisive seems to be its normative knowledge content.
