* I recently wrote a book titled “Planning Theory and Decision Making.” The book deals with planning procedures and their applicability to substantive planning issues and the decision situation, and it provides several criteria about our political and work culture and how those issues can be addressed. The objective of this article is to emphasize the main characteristics of the planning process and its relevance for society and its role in decision making.

The book originated after I developed several syllabi for a series of planning courses for a university in San Diego, namely the Global Knowledge University. One course was Planning Theory, for which I found very few books that specified the decision situation and political and work culture.
