What do mid-career Melbourne planners profess?

摘要

This paper considers whether twelve Melbourne mid-career planners actively seek to push the boundaries of existing practice in the context of 'actually existing neoliberalism'. Based open-ended interviews it is concluded that while there is evidence of a general preparedness to work within these confines, as manifest in Melbourne, many consider they are in work situations that enable them to push against them in line with their own values, albeit in small ways. Why this might be is discussed.
