IS THE FUNCTIONALLY DIVIDED AUTOMATIVE SOCIETY STILL THE ULTIMO RATIO IN PLANNING?

Functionalism started with primary land use planning; the resulting needs for vehicular traffic were initially satisfied by mass transport systems. Then the increase in car traffic transforms transport into an autonomous partial area of society which influences settlement development and has numerous consequences. A high degree of specialisation dominates the partial area "transport" today but the meticulous research into subsystems is carried out purely reactively and measures remain rather ineffectual as far as the overall system is concerned. The required settlement concepts for the post-industrial society do not exist and the political atmosphere during stagnation period is hostile to planning. But only more planning could contribute to a solution to the problem. The required components of such planning are discussed. For the covering abstract of the conference see IRRD 276520. (TRRL)
