This article scrutinises the role of communicative and strategic rationalities in the strategic spatial planning of a city. With an analytical framework that draws on Habermas’ theory of communicative action, the article identifies communicatively and strategically rational action orientations in competitive and collaborative settings at different scales of strategic spatial planning. The analytical feasibility of the framework is examined by analysing strategic spatial planning in the city of Turku (Finland). By providing insights on the central role of strategic rationality, the article contributes to the theoretical discourse on strategic spatial planning that has been strained by an overemphasis on communicative rationality. Regarding relevance to planning practice, the article adds to the understanding of the complex governance networks in which a city engages in its strategic spatial planning.
