Abstract
One might think that architecture and planning are as far from the history, sociology, and philosophy of science as one could get. What could negotiations over construction in a wooden village in Tampere (Finland), contested parking spaces in Naples, and struggles over façade renovation in Mafia-confronted Bagheria (Sicily) possibly have to do with coordinating action and belief in science? As the authors of this volume illustrate through an exploration of city planning in twenty-first century Italy and Finland, a great deal. Passageways between science studies and planning studies are subtle and productive—as it turns out, they began almost a hundred years ago.
