Abstract
As fields equally concerned with the production of space and place, geographers and planners are engaged in understanding the compact city both as a concept and as a built and lived reality. In response to Haarstad et al.'s renewed agenda for research on compact urbanism, this comment piece seeks to shift their perception of planning and planners as being narrowly focused on urban form, to a more fulsome understanding of planning's contribution.
