Planning and the Multi-local Urban ExperienceThe Power of Lifescapes\nAuthor(s): Kimmo Lapintie\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: Routledge\nISBN-13: 9780367644239, 978-0367644239\nSynopsis\nThe starting point of this book is the observation that there is a discrepancy between the lived reality of human beings and the fabricated, planned, and governed reality of the state apparatus at both the local and national level.\n\nThe book posits multi-locality as an emerging spatial configuration. The author draws from various theoretical sources, such as Deleuze and Guattaris concepts of state or royal science, the Nietzschean critique of idealism, Hgerstrnads time-geography, Hintikkas theory of modalities, Lefebvres urban society, Castels network society, Foucaults concept of heterotopia, and Bhaskars and Sartre's theories of presence and absence. He also discusses the implications of Faludis post-territorialist critique of planning and govern.
