Viewpoint: Mr. Town and regional planner, I presume?

Abstract

The divergence of views within the town and regional planning profession as to the future function of the pro­fession within society, is becoming more and more distincly polarised. There will be differences of opinion as to exactly what the opposing view­points are, but all members of the profession will agree that a wide dic­hotomy (in whatever way the two op­posing positions that constitute the dichotomy, are defined) is in the pro­cess of emerging with regard to the issue of the profession's function.
