Abstract/Summary

This commentary piece discusses how time and temporalities have, to date, not been paid enough attention or sufficiently understood and researched in planning theory and practice. The article argues that a wider recognition of time in and for planning is needed and highlights the emerging interest and potentials for greater research activity investigating this aspect of planning and urban governance. The main purpose of the article is to set out an agenda for future inquiry.
