I develop a postrepresentational theory of practices for spatial planning and governance; a multiple, relational approach of dynamic complexity to understanding and working with contingencies of place, time and actant behaviours, attempting to map molar and molecular lines, to anticipate which might be dead-ends, which might meander formlessly and which may potentially become extremely powerful. Using Deleuzean planar geophilosophy, I offer the potential for multiple plan(e)s: several (or perhaps one collectively preferred) broad trajectories or 'visions' of the longer-term future - (plan(e)s of consistency or immanence) - and shorter-term, location specific detailed plans and projects with collaboratively determined tangible goals - (plan(e)s of organisation or transcendence). I explore what spatial planning/urban management practice could look like if it were to become along Deleuzean lines. I argue the case for performance-based planning rather than performance-measured, target-based master plans, discussing critical problems and issues for theory and practice.
