Beyond the professional–local knowledge dichotomy: Toward a new epistemology in urban planning
本文指出城市规划中基于知识者身份划分的“专业”与“地方”知识二分法已过时，提出新的知识类型学及话语分析方法，探讨知识类型如何由多元行动者使用并融合为混合体，影响权力-知识动态，旨在为规划研究者与实践者提供更精细的认识论框架。
Knowledge in urban planning is typically categorized as either ‘professional’ or ‘local’, based primarily on the identity of the knower. We argue that this binary framework has become outdated due to shifts in planning and its broader societal context, and now hinders our ability to understand the role of knowledge and power–knowledge dynamics in planning processes. In its place, we propose an updated and expanded typology of planning knowledges, and a method for identifying them through discourse analysis. We also show how knowledge types, which are now wielded by diverse actors in varied discourse arenas, can no longer be associated exclusively with specific knowers, and often merge into novel hybrids – and consider how these changes impact power–knowledge dynamics. We aim to contribute to the development of a more nuanced and precise epistemology in planning, and hope our proposed framework enriches the understanding of researchers and practitioners alike.
