PREFACE to the three volumes of Planning Techniques and Institutions
This publication encompasses – after more than ten years – the papers presented, as had been requested, to the First World-Wide Conference on Planning Science held in Palermo in September 1992 .
To find out more about the Conference and its aims as well as its course, its participants and its results, those interested can consult the informative writings included in the Post-Conference Note as published on the web page of the Planning Studies Centre, promoter and organizer of the Conference.
Here it should be sufficient to assert that this Conference has been one of the rare (if not unique) attempts to create a multidisciplinary approach to planning, intended at every spatial scale (local, urban, regional, national, inter- or trans-national and also global) and, at the same time, also at multi-sectorial scale (economic, social, environmental – with all their substantive sectors of analysis and planning) as well as at institutional scale (societal, but also governmental, corporate, non-profit, etc.). Even a very dense academic field like the “Schools of Planning” (and its international Associations) is essentially unbalanced in terms of urban and regional (and physical) planning due to the prevalence of various orientations and membership of various types of background professional studies.
The conference was aimed at the exploration of a methodological dialogue of different approaches (physical planning, economics, sociology, political science, operational research and so on) suitable to create a true, common, unified, integrated and comprehensive approach to planning, originated from the participation of real, eminent representatives of largely separated disciplines.
The papers presented have not yet been published – apart from those that were individually presented in some journals, in original English and with an Italian translation (written by the Italian Journal “Prometheus”).
The Planning Studies Centre waited to propose a new edition of the papers to a specialised publisher, but the initiative for a publication has met more and more obstacles given time (and given the financial crisis of the Centre, because of which D'Altronde has blocked any follow-ups of the Conference in many forms: networking, new meetings, or the forecast Academy as recorded in the cited writings on the Conference itself).
More recently, the Centre has decided to publish the papers as presented at the conference in their original paper format, in a limited number of copies and without overhead costs, only for the possible use of laypeople and in order not to waste an asset of works which still have their value and topicality.
Thus, this edition in three volumes, corresponding to the general theme to which the three days of the Conference were dedicated, bears the main title of the Conference itself: Planning techniques and Planning Institutions and the themes/ titles of the three individual days/volumes:
Volume 1: Global and Multinational Insights
Volume 2: Methodological Insights
Volume 3: Institutional Insights
