Abstract

This research maps some of the debates on community building in the planning of suburban developments. Particular reference is made to Kokoku New Town in Yokohama, Japan, and the Golden Grove Development in Adelaide, Australia. These two developments emerged in the early 1980s and the histories related suggest significant similarities, although they grew out of different regimes of power. Drawing upon Foucault and other governmentality thinkers, this study focuses on the relationships between neoliberalism and suburbanization. The primary concern is the exercise of government (the conduct of conduct) and how this exercise is carried out and maintained.
