planning is a game, hopefully eternal one
in every plan there are some standpoints or technical solutions users or planners subconsciously feel important, they bear local esoteric values that stand in contrast to mere supportive technical solutions that are inevitable to round the picture
planners need: empathy, astuteness, faith, knowledge, diligence to grasp and foster holon structure of the neighborhood, city, nation, ...including its flora and fauna, natural riddles and layers of time
planning stands for wheeling wheel of life
catch 22:
How about all those Kain acolytes (the first paleo-architect by his own will or greed) and their repetitive oblivion due to murdering brother Nature on every occasion.
Is Ma'at expected to phone every time?
Is it why only others are expected to act?
Meanwhile mere talking suffice.

games of rebuilding, retrofitting cities are hopefully eternal games
