Acknowledgements
First of all I would like to thank the Editor of this journal and the three referees for many constructive criticisms of an earlier version of this article. They have been most useful. Heather Campbell has been kind enough to answer my queries about planning ethics research in the UK. Elisabeth Salamon carried out the interviews with the practitioners as part of her Master's thesis. I have benefited from lengthy discussions with Angela Barbanente and Dino Borri about values and ethics of Italian planners. The research for this article has been made possible with the help of a grant from the Swedish Research Council for Environment, Agricultural Sciences and Spatial Planning (FORMAS).
