Punk planning can refer to a DIY, anti-authoritarian approach to urban planning and design that prioritizes community needs and values, over corporate or government interests. It often involves bottom-up initiatives, such as community gardening or guerrilla street art, and seeks to subvert traditional planning processes by empowering individuals and communities to shape their own environments. Punk planning values experimentation, creativity, and direct action over bureaucratic procedures and can challenge mainstream ideas about the role of the nudge social and cultural planners and the wider role of planning in society.
