Viewpoint: Broadening the scope of planning

Abstract

At the outset it was not my intention to link this article to that of the Theunis­sens in the September 1982 issue of the Journal for Town and Regional Plan­ning ("Mr. Town and Regional Planner, I presume?"). But as it turned out, it does in fact, to a degree at least, expand on the same theme. As far as planning is concerned, it is basically in support of both standpoints, but as regards the planner and the town and regional plan­ning profession, it is in support of Theunissen number Two, i.e. of speciali­sation in the profession.
