Resumo(s)
In this paper I explore how the culture of land-use planning in Scotland has been targeted as an
object of modernising reform, exploring how ‘culture change’ initiatives played a prominent role
in stabilising a new settlement around ‘open for business’ planning between 2006 and 2012, con-
taining potential tensions between diverse goals to make planning more efficient, inclusive and
integrative. This highlights the potentially significant role of governance cultures in containing ten-
sions and securing consent to processes of state restructuring. I therefore argue that greater
empirical attentiveness to the cultural micro-politics of state restructuring can improve under-
standing of complex, contemporary dynamics of change, and the contested role of the neoliberal
hegemonic project in reshaping urban governance. I conclude by arguing that the continued
power of neoliberal critiques of the inefficiency of land-use planning indicate a need to acknowl-
edge and engage contemporary cultural battles over the purposes of planning and urban
governance.
