ABSTRACT Planning with things other-than-human and exploring the more-than-human dimensions of cities has failed to ignite within the discipline of planning. Humans and the human perspective remain privileged throughout both planning theory and practice. However, slowly over the course of the past two decades there has been a trickle of Actor Network Theory-based planning studies allowing the discipline to dip its toes into the more-than-human realm. This paper uses empirical evidence to demonstrate the role and influence of particular nonhumans as active mediators in the politics of planning processes and the production of more-than-human urban spaces. In doing so, the paper raises ethical questions around the existing anthropocentric approach to the assessment and deliberation of planned development where living nonhumans are affected. Utilising the case study of the proposed Mangles Bay Marina, in the southern suburbs of Perth, Western Australia, the paper will illustrate the influence of three types of nonhuman actors: living nonhuman species; discursive text and talk; and technical artefacts.

合同、海草和话语：曼格尔斯湾码头规划中的非人类调解员

摘要 用人类以外的事物进行规划和探索城市超越人类的维度未能在规划学科内点燃。人类和人类视角在整个规划理论和实践中始终享有特权。然而，在过去的二十年里，慢慢地出现了基于演员网络理论的规划研究，使该学科能够涉足超人类领域。本文使用经验证据来证明特定的非人类作为积极调解者在规划过程的政治和超人类城市空间的生产中的作用和影响。在这样做的过程中，本文围绕现有的以人类为中心的方法提出了伦理问题，以评估和审议影响非人类生物的计划发展。本文将利用西澳大利亚珀斯南郊拟建的曼格尔斯湾码头的案例研究，说明三种非人类行为者的影响：现存的非人类物种；散文和谈话；和技术文物。
