Urban design and planning as pragmatic inquiry
As urban design emerged as a separate discipline over the past 30 years, it became embroiled in a conjused relationship with architecture and planning. This article seeks to clarify the relationship between urban design and planning, using the common threads of pragmatism, as revealed by an historical overview of theory and procedures in both fields, to establish areas of overlap in approach and concerns. These include the dialectical nature of wicked problem resolution, and the significance of process in both disciplines. Subtle differences are also pointed out,concerning values and aims, the differences between inadvertent and deliberate design, and their significance for both disciplines, attitudes towards context and the degree of abstraction assumed treating spatially-related phenomena, problems and solutions, and the skills required for urban design. General implications include the potential for urban designers and planners to play truly complementary roles in the Republic, and the need for a common approach based on open,participatory procedures. This should also recognize those areas of expertise in which each of the two disciplines can make the greatest contribution: urban design in the shaping of the built environment, specifically regarding housing to accommodate rapid urbanisation, and planning in ameliorating socio-economic issues. During their training, students in both disciplines should acquire a firm grasp of their respective areas of expertise, and learn how to cooperate with members of the other, and related disciplines, in striving towards better quality urban environments across the nation.
