“…A useful fi rst step in rationally integrating vales into the planning process is then to identify the values that are most relevant in relation to the current issue (see, e.g., Keeney et al, 1990;Gregory and Keeney, 2002) (D). These values may serve as the basis for rational reasoning throughout the process (Klosterman, 1978;Rayner, 1999). More specifi cally the alternative choices or pathways considered during the planning process correspond to different ways of prioritizing among the identifi ed values.…”

In order to manage the increasing pressure on the world's water resources, new planning methodologies/processes for sustainable river basin management are currently being developed. For such processes to work well, however, the legal context must allow, or support, such processes. In this study, a set of criteria relating to methodologies/processes for sustainable water management is used to assess the EU Water Framework Directive (WFD). The study suggests that the WFD erects few formal barriers to good planning practices. However, planning processes will need to be adapted to compensate for the weak legal support in a number of important areas, namely the use of knowledge from beyond the natural sciences, the use of methodologies for the explicit handling of values and the use of procedures for democratic participation. In so doing the issues identifi ed here provide a basis for systematic thinking about how to design the necessary planning processes.

“…If "values are like a jackin-the-box, popping up at different times, often unconsciously and unceremoniously" (Howe and Kaufman 1981, 266), then a positive attitude toward growth might influence a planner's interpretation of the public interest in ways that favor development. As Klosterman (1978) and Sternlieb (1978) have argued, planners should be introspective about how their values may be influencing their practice. The findings of this paper may encourage such introspection.…”

“…The plan is a rationalscientific roadmap to an orderly city. It is the product of the technical genius of planners, who through their role as 'means-end technicians' (Friedmann, 1987;see Lo Piccolo and Thomas, 2008;Klosterman 1978) translate the ambitions of the gardening state into a spatialised reality. Bauman (1993:29) states that achieving the good, orderly and healthy society -the garden -entails the 'systematic and ruthless … execution of a scientifically conceived rational plan'.…”

(doi:10.1177/1473095217701514) This is the author's final accepted version.There may be differences between this version and the published version. You are advised to consult the publisher's version if you wish to cite from it.http://eprints.gla.ac.uk/137861/ AbstractThe article deploys Bauman's metaphor of the 'gardening' state to consider the imbrication of planning and the dark side of modernity. It interrogates the public production and defence of urban spaces suitable for people deemed to have value. Using empirical material from urban Zimbabwe, I frame planning as a spatial technology of the gardening state and peer into its handling of informality under two main themes: first, the perception, construction and designation of 'weeds'; and second, the declaration and treatment of the 'weeds'. Situating Bauman's metaphor in the nexus between planning, the state and informality, I conclude that the metaphor paints a helpful but inadequate picture. I argue that while the metaphor is helpful with regards to the first theme, refinements are needed in its application to the second.Rather than see planning enforcement as a rational-scientific practice, a nuanced conceptualisation is needed that explicitly acknowledges the messy business of politics.
