Description

Empires and their aftermaths were massive planning institutions; in the past two hundred years, the natural and social sciences emergedat least in partas modes of knowledge production for imperial planning. Yet these connections are frequently under-emphasized in the history of science and its corollary fields.
The Planning Moment explores the myriad ways plans and planning practices pervade recent global history. The book is built around twenty-seven brief case studies that explore the centrality of planning in colonial and postcolonial environments, relationships, and contexts, through a range of disciplines: the history of science, science and technology studies, colonial and postcolonial studies, urban studies, and the history of knowledge.
If colonialism made certain landscapes, populations, and institutions legible while obscuring others, The Planning Moment reveals the frequently disruptive and violent processes of erasure in imperial planning by exam
