ABSTRACT

THE SCOPE FOR A NEW POSTMODERN PLANNING: theory

For those who have been marginalised by the reign of reason – a reign which

has ruled at least since Plato – postmodern critique can be liberating. It lays

bare the artifice of all grand narratives and so frees us to create our individual

and collective lives, to articulate our own voices, to diffuse the ‘Other’ into just

one more other.
