本文提出了一种规划方法,它的目的是在当代发达的经济条件和形形色色的社会结构条件下发掘规划的民主潜力。在这样的社会里任何与规划相关的主张都需要应对挑战,这些对规划思想的挑战来自于公共政策中经济评价的复兴,更根本地说,来自于对科学理性主义的后现代哲学批判。本文认为凭借技术、道德与表现美学的实践和理解方式,哈贝马斯关于各种话语群体之间的主体间理性的概念,可以为建立规划行为的模式与惯例指明一个方向,这些模式与惯例适合社会探求达成“求同存异”的进步方法。本文通过引用当代规划理论界许多研究成果,勾勒出上述方法的轮廓,以及它对当前环境规划实践的启示。 This paper proposes a planning method whose purpose is to explore the democratic potential of planning under the conditions of contemporary developed economic conditions and various social structures. Any planning-related claims in such a society need to deal with challenges. These challenges to planning ideas come from the revival of economic evaluation in public policies, and more fundamentally from the post-modern philosophical criticism of scientific rationalism. This article argues that Habermas’s concept of inter-subjective rationality between various discourse groups, by virtue of the practice and understanding of technical, ethical, and expressive aesthetics, can point the way to the establishment of patterns and conventions for planning behaviour. These patterns and practices Suitable for social exploration to achieve “seeking common ground while reserving differences”. This article outlines the outline of the above method by citing many research results in the contemporary planning theory circle, and its implications for current environmental planning practices.
