Abstract
PERCEPTION ON CITY PLANNING



• Perception of things and happenings – evaluation of different situations.

• Consciousness of problems and issues.

• Actors: people, planners and governance leaders.


• Decision to interview – to plan and to act (implementation).
Acting:
by intuition,
based in a disciplinary approach,
based on multidisciplinary studies,
based on interdisciplinary research,
based on a transdisciplinary attitude.

• The answer through planning – from zero planning to development planification and centralized power.

• Planning:plan and management.

• Plan: biophysical and socio-economic.

Main Postulates:

RESPECT OF NATURE and HUMAN SOLIDARITY

• Planning must face the complexity of city systemic nature and get a transdiciplinary approach including:
Ecology, Sociology, Economy ,Biology,Geography, Technology.

• Planning must face the complexity of human dimensions:
Feeling, Senses, Geometry, Transcendency, Culture, Rationality



• Planning needs a structure of powers and agents where politicians and planners must share a strong visibility towards citizens.


• Objectives:
preserving values, resources, heritage
developing citizens’ participation
keeping economic capacities
getting a social balance and cohesion
to increase functionality,
reinforcing identity and aesthetics,
building understandable cities,
maintaining recognizable cities,


• Metrics and their meanings – to organize evaluation, monitoring and strategies:

THE PERMANENT ORGANIC PLANING
(a planning method for humanizing cities)

• Accessibility and transports: the super-footing systems and the human scale.

• Planning attendance – emergences and provisional shelter, planners’ identification with communities, a timing strategy and the legal frame.
