One way of thinking about planning is that it is a promise. It is the negotiation of possibilities that time offers space. What kind of promise planning offers, how such a promise is made, and what happens to that promise through time is the question. Here, seven essays offer case studies of promises/planning along with insights on theory, such as the differences between utopian time and contemporary time (the Norwegian welfare state), hypercomplexity in railway design work, structuring urban landscapes in Peru's southern highland, the promise of inclusion in Brazil, institutional planning in Kuala Lumpur, and a neo-liberal government, speculates on the Hooghly. The cover includes the slogan "stick to the plan," an interesting idea. Annotation ©2014 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
