Strategising in Complex Contexts as Dealing with Social Paradoxes
نویسنده
چکیده
Only recently spatial planning is rediscovered as a strategic process. This paper introduces the concept of social paradoxes to describe the contradicting requirements spatial planners have to meet in their daily work. Among the most important social paradoxes with regard to strategic planning is the one between deliberative planning and incremental adaptation to emergent developments. The paper concludes with some reflections on how to deal with social paradoxes in the process of strategic plan-making in complex spatial contexts.
