This article analyzes the meaning of postmodernism in planning through the in-depth study of the evolution of planning and zoning in Cleveland, Ohio. Cleveland was selected because of its innovative and highly visible planning tradition, which has weaved through the main historic stages of American planning, and has served as a planning laboratory nationwide. The article investigates whether a postmodern planning transition in Cleveland is detectable and what its key aspects and contradictions are. It concludes that the postmodern shift in Cleveland is notably stronger in planning discourses than in planning policies. In so doing, the article demonstrates a key characteristic of the postmodern shift generally and in terms of planning, more specifically, that postmodernism is still more about a shift in attitudes than in actions.
