Town planning ethicsAbstract
Private practice can be defined as "one's own, or a personal pursuit or exercise in a particular discipline" whilst ethics is defined in the Oxford Dictionary as "relating to morals or the treating of moral questions". Town planning on the other hand can be defined in a number of ways; inter alia the followmg:
(a) "Planning is a process for determining appropriate future action through a sequence of choices" (Davidoff and Reiner, Faludi, 1978);
(b) "Self direction is the objective of planning which is an activity by which man in society endeavours to gain mastery over himself and to shape his collective future consciously by power of his reason (Friedman J; Bruton, 1974);
(c) "Planning is the process of preparing a set of decisions for action in the future, directed at achieving goals by preferable means" (Dror, Faludi, 1978);
(d) "I look upon planning as a living process whereby the vast number of diverse, often inarticulate, often conflicting interests which the various elements of a community have in the use of land become transmitted into the physical environment" (Levin E. A., 1966).
