A major consequence of these changes is that it creates uncertainty. I examine how neoliberal and communicative shifts in governance have changed the nature of uncertainty to what are called ?intersubjective uncertainties?. In order to asses these uncertainties i use Jean Hillier?s ?Multiplanar theory of spatial planning and governance? to do a comparative case study analysis of Lelystad and Eindhoven airport. A consultative body called the ?Alderstable? is instated in both airports thus interviews with its participants is the main focus of gathering data. As this study will show, intersubjective uncertainties play a major role in the expansion of these airports mostly related to issues of morality and information. I recommend planners and policy makers to stop working towards a fixed end-goal and redefine planning to an ?empty signifier?. ID - theses_frw525 ER -
