Abstract

The Topology of Planning Theories as a newly introduced systematisation builds on the characteristic features of planning knowledge: the location in the field of knowledge and the degree of action-orientation of planning theories. The topology outlines the diversity and importance of planning knowledge for the profession and discipline. The field of planning knowledge contains epistemological foundations, different theories each find their specific place. Basic classification is based on the question of how reality(ies) are grasped and what knowledge is contained in the theory.
