Re: Re: The Building Boom Is Over!

My comment about planners and philosophy was ironic; clearly some have had a humour bypass as well. For the record, I was a planner and as part of reading for a degree went back to some planning literature which had a philosophical, or at least discursive, aspect. My point is that once planners (or most other professionals) go into philosophical/academic mode they part company with reality and certainly with practice on the ground; perfect systems, imperfect praxis.
