This book examines two large and highly controversial urban infill projects in two peripheral European capitalsāTirana and Helsinkiāthrough the lens of dramaturgy and political theatre. The authors argue that the planning processes in both cities have been farcical, following the so-called 'disillusionment arc' in storytellingāthat is, coming to terms with the inevitability of private developments where vast sums of money are at stake and power does not rest with the people. Beyond these case studies, the book introduces the concept of 'planning distortion' which blends socio-institutional phenomena such as corruption, neoliberalism, and undemocratisation. It will appeal to planning theorists and readers interested in the European periphery, particularly the Nordics and the Balkans.
