meaning of planning



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.

Urban rules, from the dawn of humanity, conceals games of mingling with sets of dualities: namely of rich and poor,  left and right, right and wrong,...

games of rebuilding, retrofitting cities are hopefully eternal games
