Spatial planning is about dealing with our 'everyday' environment. In A Planner's Encounter with Complexity we present various understandings of complexity and how the environment is considered accordingly. One of these considerations is the environment as subject to processes of continuous change, being either progressive or destructive, evolving non-linearly and alternating between stable and dynamic periods. If the environment that is subject to change is adaptive, self-organizing, robust and flexible in relation to this change, a process of evolution and co-evolution can be expected. This understanding of an evolving environment is not mainstream to every planner. However, in ... Read more

Reviews for A Planner's Encounter with Complexity (New Directions in Planning Theory)
'The challenges of complexity to our understandings of and approaches to planning are increasingly hard to ignore. Complexity has moved beyond the heuristic to a cogent analysis of how people and places interact and is now exploring ways of conceiving, planning and governing space from spatial modelling to property rights. A Planner's Encounter with Complexity strikes a fine balance between ... Read more
