Abstract

This article chronicles recent changes in planning practice. It starts by identifying traditional practice as beeing essenstially reactive. It documents the rise of strategic planning and the move toward proactive planning centered on strategy, marketing, publicity and the images. Then it puts forward a theory to explain this shift, here suggesting that external images (plans, photos) and internal images (the mind's eye) are as a key to the understanding of how planning processes in fact work. It extends and supplants (mew» discursive theories of planning based on communicative action. It reveals the role images play in discourse, and how discourse is itself subordinate to such images. To demonstrate this theory selected episodes in current practice, highlighting an in-depth study of Madrid, Spain, are offered.
