Values, planning and the future
Abstract
While considerable care must be paid in the planning process to the collection of data and to the deductive and inductive logical activities that go on in working with this data, the process is by no means as scientific and logical as we often like to assume. Throughout the planning process there are, and have to be, many judgments that go beyond what might be termed “rational,” in the stricter, relatively value‐neutral sense of this word. More than lip‐service should be paid, then, to the maxim that planning is an art as well as a science. An acute need persists for creative imagination.
