Abstract

This chapter discusses the concept of relational complexity as a crucial interpretative framework enabling relational/collaborative planning to produce alternative spatial and governance imaginations. The chapter begins by describing the relational planning code, specifically its point of view on agents, time and space, knowledge and the ‘proper’ processes through which managing the multiple relationships shaping places in order to discover new ways to live together in a city or neighbourhood. Then, it contrasts the relational complexity perspective with a Deleuzian understanding of the multiple dynamics shaping places in order to explore its potentialities in freeing creative energies by avoiding the reproduction of existing oppression and marginalization. Such exploration is carried out by mapping the social cartography of one of the many governance processes inspired by the relational complexity which, despite being considered a success, failed at imagining alternative urban developments and reproduced existing exclusions. Finally, besides highlighting some crucial weaknesses underlying the relational perspective, the chapter suggests that a Deleuzean understanding of complexity could help planning to learn from contextual and dynamic features of an unknown complexity and experiment with forms of knowing and acting, learning and imagining, taking into account the many injustices and power games emerging in the making of the city
