Institutionalist Analysis, Communicative Planning, and Shaping Places
Patsy Healey
director of the Centre for Research in European Urban Environments in the School of Architecture, Planning and Larndscape at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne; Patsy.Healey{at}nc1.ac.uk
This article reviews the developments in the new institutionalism in social science and their relation to communicative planning theory, with emphasis on the relevance to the practcal task of responding to demands for a more place-conscious evolution in public policy. I trace the evolution of forms of governance that are more responsive to the multiple claims and social worlds of civil society and include discussion of the social-constructionist conception of institutions, the significance of actors and networks, the interrelation between structure and agency, and the cultural dimesions of social networks. The implications for developing governance capability or instittional capacity are also explored. In reviewing comnmunicative planning theory, I discuss how Habermas's approach to communicative ation may be reworked or positioned in an institutionalist perspective. Finally, I explore how these developments can be used to dvelop understanding and strategies for evoling more inclusionary approaches to intgrated, place-focused public policy.
