In this confronting and important book, Libby Porter and Janice Barry challenge the compliance of planning institutions and practices in the ongoing dispossession of Indigenous peoples. Nothing less than theoretical and practical deconstruction of property rights structures and of planning itself are necessary in order to cultivate intercultural capacities for respectful coexistence. Powerful work, eloquently written, a pleasure to read.Jean Hillier, RMIT University, Australia When envisioning the future, planning has the ability to reproduce colonial power or take a decolonizing path where Indigenous peoples engage in planning on their own terms. Libby Porter and Janice Barry develop a compelling argument for the latter transformative planning praxis. In this book, non-Indigenous practitioners are challenged to develop their intercultural capacity as part of a reshaping of planning.Michelle Thompson-Fawcett, University of Otago, New Zealand

Author Information

Libby Porter is Associate Professor at the Centre for Urban Research, at RMIT University (Melbourne, Australia). Her research is about the complicity of planning in dispossession and displacement, especially of Indigenous peoples in settler-colonial states, and also of disadvantaged communities through urban regeneration policies and mega-events. Janice Barry is an Assistant Professor in the Department of City Planning at the University of Manitoba (Winnipeg, Canada). Her research explores the tensions between more collaborative forms of land use decision-making and larger institutional structures and discourses, and Indigenous peoples' experiences of state-directed planning.
