ABSTRACT

These are in-conclusive in-conclusions with which I end this book-machine or assemblage as I began, in the middle. My intention has been (and remains) to write rhizomically, drawing lines of connections between issues as part of a continuous inquiry transforming the theorising (and hopefully the practising) of spatial planning and governance into an ‘open set of critical tools, ethical evaluations and … creations’ (Semetsky, 2003a: 27) in which ‘problems’ are not considered as ‘givens’, ‘solved’ by Cartesian methods of searching for the clear and distinct, but rather viewed as multiplicities of differential relations which stimulate creative thinking and innovation.
