Abstract

ABSTRACTDespite increasing privatization of planning, little is known about the practices, feelings, and values of planners in the private sector. Likewise, although scholars acknowledge the potential regressive outcomes of planning, the involvement of planners in regressive practices remains understudied. This paper focuses on the practices of private sector planning professionals involved in the making of suburban gated communities in Brazil. The analysis reveals that these planners understand their practices through a narrow lens as they approach planning through political, professional, and valuative detachment.
