Abstract
This article approach technical assistance in aid development as a case of north-to-south diffusion of urban planning models and ideas. Rooted on post-colonial perspectives, dominant literature focus on gaps between original planning models and local adaptations, neglecting professionals grounded practice. Focusing on the process’s insiders, ethnographic and professional sociology’s approaches put the analysis of the transfer process in the light of the complexity of urban planners ’ expertise and situated professional practice. This paper argues that a closer investigation of urban planners in action in the context of technical assistance would enhance our comprehension on the international diffusion of urban planning.
