Abstract
The article focuses on the implication of Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) on the redevelopment of Leith Docks in Scotland. Spatial planning policies extend the planning practice and make practitioners become aware of discussions between planners and developers. Planners used a professional discourse based on theories of urban design and sustainability to add weight to their policies, and CDA techniques uncovered economic realities that belied developments and policy directions.
