The second annual conference of CITTA will take place in
gloomy times of economic decline, raising unemployment,
and deep uncertainties about our near future. Planning as
both a professional field and as a scientific discipline, seem
always to be better equipped to deal with managing growth
and change, rather then decline, complexity and
uncertainty. However, our understanding of the spatial
dimension of social, economic and environmental
processes maybe crucial helping to find a way out of this
current crisis. But our planning doctrines, paradigms,
methods and techniques have to be revisited and
reinvented to face the challenges ahead. In this difficult
context, it is time to discuss the role of planning research to
prepare a more balanced, sustainable and socially sensitive
future.
