| dc.description.abstract | This working report is a paper written to XII AESOP Congress 22 – 25 July 1998, Aveiro, Portugal. It is a
presentation of human-scientific action theory and its linkage to planning, both planning theory and planning
practice. Human-scientific action theory is created by professor Gunnar Olsson and professor José Luis
Ramírez, Nordic School of Planning, Stockholm.
Planning is primarily a practical and reflective activity. The notion ”Planning” may, therefore, describe the
activity ”planning” or the reflection about this activity. The last one is what planning theory is about. My presentation of this theory will be structured around two main aspects; planning as action and planning as rhetoric. | en |
