Résumé

This paper outlines a research approach towards the study of spatial visions as planning instruments in contemporary strategic planning. The importance of spatial visions has steadily increased during the last two decades. However, spatial visions are still today not very well researched within the academic world. The research that exists, focus either on the practical use of visions in strategic planning, or on a critical reading of spatial visions, its power implications and so on. The research approach argue that these two approaches have to be combined in order to be able to create a fuller understanding of spatial visions role and importance in planning, especially strategic planning, today. The first section of the paper present and discuss the forms and contents of spatial vision, its aims and scales, and the methodology of spatial visions. In the second section we attempts to lay out a way towards a wider analytical understanding of spatial visions through a discussion of its part as a planning instrument, its external and internal functions in order to arrive at a fuller, more analytical definition of spatial visions. In the third and conclusive part we tentatively discuss three important conditions of spatial visions that seems crucial to investigate further in order to reach a better understanding of spatial visions. First we discuss its values and ideas, secondly its possibilities to produce expected effects and thirdly if spatial visions are legitimate from a scientific and procedural perspective.
