Abstract

Resilience, according to Davoudi (2012), is one remedy for planners to deal with uncertainty. It is a term that has been translated from the field of ecology to the field of planning, and thus a number of studies show the limitations of translating the natural into the social world. The term resilience is not commonly used in strategic spatial planning in the Nordic countries but appears to be termed differently. Using planning documents as data, in this chapter we explore how the “slippery” concept of resilience is used in Nordic comprehensive planning. We ask which are the words in use, and what do they mean? Are there stated, desirable social resilient outcomes, and who benefits and is excluded by them?
