These general principles and guidelines are proposed as the basis for developing cultural policy with UNESCO acting as a global ‘clearing-house’. Most recently, UNESCO has adopted the Universal Declaration on Cultural Diversity (2001). The importance of this philosophy and its policies is that they apply equally to strategic and spatial planning objectives. Radcliffe (2006) argues in this context that the UN has seen the need to build political and cultural diversity and intercultural understanding, as opposed to culturalist explanations, which the UN believes are potentially related to arguments supporting a ‘clash of civilisations’, rather than ‘Dialogue between … flexible, multiple, and open identities and cultures’ (Radcliffe 2006, 7).
Positionality In seeking to propose a strategic rationale for the reconstruction of planning I am impressed by the analysis contained in Harvey’s essay ‘Social Justice, Postmodernism and the City’ (2003). In the essay, Harvey considers two seminal books he wrote some ten years apart, Social Justice and the City from 1979, and The Condition of Postmodernity, published in 1989. His ambitious goals for the essay are to examine how we might think about urban problems and ‘how by virtue of such thinking we can better position ourselves with respect to solutions’ (Harvey 2003, 101).
Twentieth Century Background The twentieth century saw important innovations in the concept of culture, mainly in the period following the Second World War. A broadening and democratisation of the concept of culture in Western industrial societies began to occur. The concept of ‘high culture’ famously defined by Mathew Arnold in his Culture and Anarchy published in 1882, as ‘contact with the best that has been thought and said in the world’ (Arnold 1979, 6), was overturned. In Britain in the 1960s, for example, the lives and culture of the working class emerged unapologetically in cultural and social research and in professional history.
