| dc.description.abstract | Using and justifying knowledge claims in planning is becoming more challenging, as the discipline gets more interdisciplinary. Architects, planners, civil engineers, geographers, social scientists and ecologists, among others, naturally have their own field-specific criteria of justification, but they also have different understanding of the relevance of different fields of knowledge. Since there are no self-evident criteria of relevance, the epistemology of planning can be supposed to be largely determined historically and politically as the result of the conflicts and coalitions between the respective disciplines and political regimes. The rational ideal of planning as a process where all necessary knowledge is gathered and used thus seems to miss some essential elements of planning epistemology. This view does not necessarily entail relativism, however, since the field-specific criteria of justification may still be defended as different approaches to a ‘common’ understanding of the planning contexts and the implications of plans. | |
