Thesis:
Chinese urban planning before the economic reform:
governmentality, urban planning modalities and the Beijing
Master Plans
This dissertation is an attempt to apply Foucault’s effective
history as the method, his perspective of governmentality
and, derived from it, the concept of planning modalities,
and time-space as the analytical concepts, and Beijing as
the local study to theorise urban planning in pre-reform
China. It suggests a way to trace the formation of
contemporary Chinese state practices from the
amalgamation of the West, the Soviet and the Chinese
historical practices. Specifically, it argues that they can be
understood by the concept of Chinese governmentality, a
special version of socialist governmentality. The latter
differs from that under capitalism by governing the
economy and society with a distance. The Chinese state,
however, governs with a shorter distance due to its
historical specificity. Accordingly, Chinese central planning
in the past was an ensemble of technologies of government
to étatise time and space of all resources. It organised these
resources in a programmatic form around a succession of
plans to concentrate on industries. These activities were
located where space could also be étatised to facilitate the
Party’s government, i.e. urban places. Urban planning was
part and parcel of the central planning mechanism, with the
master plan being a technology to construct an abstract
actor-space. The formulation of a master plan reflected the
2
construction of planning modalities over time and across
space. The subtleties of these arguments are elaborated by
investigating the formulation of master plans in Beijing
between 1949 and 1958. The case of Beijing has enriched
the conceptual discussion with a better understanding of the
local processes in which the spatial order of a city was
finally regulated by the technology of urban planning in
China.

A Preface to a Power Theory of Land Occupancy
The objective of the paper is to construct a theory of
temporal changes in urban land use by adopting a concept
called conditions of existence. It argues that everyone is
required to secure a set of conditions of existence in order
to survive. But there are some conditions that cannot be
secured individually, but by collective action. Thus, one
would locate whenever and wherever it can enhance
his/her/its power to secure these conditions. The State is
seen as an arena in which decisions of collective action are
made, and planning is considered important to mediate
politics concerning these decisions.
