OverviewThis book investigates insurgent planning practices and their potential for alternative forms of civic engagement and democracy-building. It explores how planners can challenge technocratic planning by incorporating notions of participation, inclusion, trans-sectionality and the right to the city into their daily practices. Each chapter delves into those daily practices to answer: What does insurgent planning practice look like in practice? How are radical planners coping with traditional, technocratic planning as practised in most places around the world? And what do they do to advance an agenda of democratisation and the right to the city, counteracting neoliberal forms of governance? Chapters draw on conversations with planners in several cities around the world, cataloguing insurgent experiences that challenge the status quo of contemporary market-based, exclusionary city-making. Throughout, cross-cutting issues such as gender, race and class are explored to consider ways in which insurgent planners bring diversity into planning.

Conclusion: insurgent planning practice in comparative perspective Roberto Rocco and Gabriel Silvestre"ReviewsSince the 1960s, there were pressing pleas and cries to incorporate citizen participation in urban planning. Nowadays, most of the participatory planning attempts, when allowed by the powerholders, have been critically assessed as limited, flawed or even manipulative. This volume opens our eyes and invites to examine these contradictions. The 'insurgent' standpoint helps the authors explore various rich forms of collaboration between planners, scholars, activists and citizens worldwide, especially when challenging the rule of capital and technocrats. Rather than a focus on 'heroic planners', readers will find valuable lessons from practices and processes that contributed to the emancipation of the oppressed once they took the tools of urban planning in their own hands. -- Miguel A.

Martínez, Professor of Housing and Urban Sociology, University of Uppsala If there were ever any doubts that there are 'alternatives' to the neoliberal order, this book helps to revoke them. Inspired by the work of Faranak Miraftab, the contributors provide a rich and diverse set of examples of insurgent planning in both Global North and South. Instead of dwelling on the theoretical coherence of the concept, they offer inspiring cases of how insurgent planning works in particular social contexts. For the planning scholars, practitioners and educators who aspire to prefigure alternative modes of practice, this book is essential reading. It shows that the so-called 'realities' of our time are not how things are, but how they are made to be, and how they can be unmade through disruptive politics of insurgent planning. -- Simin Davoudi, Chair of Town Planning, School of Architecture, Planning and Landscape, and Co-Director of Centre for Researching Cities, Newcastle University, UK Author InformationRoberto Rocco is Associate Professor of Spatial Planning and Strategy at Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands.
