Communicative Action and the Network Society

A Pragmatic Marriage?

How might Castells’s theory of the network society influence planning? The authors argue that while there is much to learn from Castells, the idea of a network society does not warrant a fundamental revision of planning theory. Rather, it reinforces the scope and relevance of Habermasian communicative action and American pragmatism, ideas that are already recognized within planning.

Key Words: network society • communicative action • pragmatism • civil society • lifeworld • Castells • Habermas
