Between Place, Man and Religious/Geopolitical Doctrine Looking ahead to the Challenges of Israeli Spatial Planning

This brief study critically examines transformations in the planning of space and discusses the different schools of planning and its use as a tool to exercise hegemony over the production of space and regulate land usage to serve the aims of the state. The study addresses transformations in planning as a synthesis that gives expression to existing discussion within Israel. The study depends on analytical, critical narrative, and is part of a broader study on analysis of planning discourse and language and the production of a discourse of planning predictions for Israel's centenary. The study proceeds from the assumption that spatial planning is not a neutral, procedural affair but a realization of geopolitical aims governed by power relations in the allocation of resources.

This brief study critically examines transformations in the planning of space and discusses the different schools of planning and its use as a tool to exercise hegemony over the production of space and regulate land usage to serve the aims of the state. The study addresses transformations in planning as a synthesis that gives expression to existing discussion within Israel. The study depends on analytical, critical narrative, and is part of a broader study on analysis of planning discourse and language and the production of a discourse of planning predictions for Israel's centenary. The study proceeds from the assumption that spatial planning is not a neutral, procedural affair but a realization of geopolitical aims governed by power relations in the allocation of resources.
