This
article revisits the notion of radical planning from the standpoint
of the global South. Emerging struggles for citizenship in the global
South, seasoned by the complexities of state–citizen relations within
colonial and post-colonial regimes, offer an historicized view indispensable
to counter-hegemonic planning practices. The article articulates the
notion of insurgent planning as radical planning practices that respond
to neoliberal specifics of dominance through inclusion – that is, inclusive
governance. It characterizes the guiding principles for insurgent planning
practices as counter-hegemonic, transgressive and imaginative. The
article contributes to two current conversations within planning scholarship:
on the implication of grassroots insurgent citizenship for planning,
and on (de)colonization of planning theory.
