What are the reasons behind Rittel & Webber's contention that the ‘modern-classical’ model of planning is unattainable and perhaps even undesirable?

Monday 26 September 2022
To what extent do you agree with Wildavsky's view that planning creates ‘unreal expectations that cannot be met’?
Article to read and discuss:Wildavsky, A. (1973). If planning is everything, maybe it’s nothing. Policy Sciences 4(2) 127-153, https://doi.org/10.1007/BF01405729

Article to read and discuss:Alexander, E.R. (1981). If Planning isn’t Everything, Maybe it’s Something. Town Planning Review 52(2) 131-142, https://doi.org/10.3828/tpr.52.2.x34435m0x5555454
Monday 10 October 2022
To what extent can planning be identified as an analytically distinct method of decision-making? Reade argues that “Those who claim to be planners do not usually admit to basing their recommendations merely on the same methods as do politicians, or public officials in general.” (p.71)
Article to read and discuss:
Reade, E. (1982). If planning isn’t everything… A comment. Town Planning Review 53(1) 65-72, https://doi.org/10.3828/tpr.53.1.61363l0g33910226 (read also the rejoinders by Alexander and Wildavsky at the end of this article)
