Michael Kwartler counters the rigid determinism of urban planning policy with a just‐in‐time approach. He describes a new planning, design and regulatory model that harnesses information technologies, such as geographic information systems (GIS) and emerging planning and design‐decision support (PDDS), which ‘learn’ from experience and provide the means to be self‐organising and adjusting, responding to rather than anticipating or even trying to direct change.
