Although current planning research acknowledges that learning and knowledge generation are key elements in decision making, the actual extent of their influence is still uncertain. By examining infrastructure-led decision making in Peru, this article presents a Learning-based Approach (LbA) to analyze the extent of their influence in the quality of decisions. The results reveal that learning and (new) knowledge can equally enhance and worsen local decision-making quality to different degrees. Nonetheless, the quality of infrastructure-led decisions can improve largely by empowering municipal officials usually engaged in routine practice through the generation of (spatial) knowledge on the physical and functional aspects of cities.
