| Abstract: | The article focuses on the contributions of Patsy Healey to urban planning, particularly her advocacy for collaborative and communicative planning approaches in both industrialized and newly industrializing nations. Healey emphasized the importance of understanding local contexts and contingencies in planning, arguing against the application of universal theories from the global north to the global south, which she viewed as often ineffective or counterproductive. The text highlights her belief in the value of deliberation and critical inquiry, rooted in classical liberalism, while also acknowledging the complexities and contradictions inherent in planning practices. Healey's legacy is portrayed as one that blends liberalism and pragmatism, promoting inclusive dialogue to address urban challenges. [Extracted from the article] |
