For more than six decades, John Friedmann has been an insurgent force in the field of planning, transforming it from a state-centered concern for social and special roder into a radical domain of collaborative action between state and civil society to create "the good society." By opening it up to theoretical engagement with a wide range of disciplines, Friedmann’s contributions have revolutionised planning as a transdisciplinary space of critical thinking, social learning, and reflective practice.

Insurgencies and Revolutions follows up on Friedmann’s 2011 book Insurgencies. It focuses on five broad areas where Friedmann’s contributions have challenged established paradigms and generated the space of revolutionary thinking and action in urban and regional planning: theorizing planning; regional economic development and regionalism; world cities and the good city; social learning, empowered communities and citizenship; Chinese cities.

With a preface by Leonie Sandercock and a postscript by Friedmann himself, these essays by research associates and colleagues reflect their engagemtn with Friedmann’s ideas and the new directions in which they have taken these in their work in planning theory and practice.
