Abstract

A considerable array of planning technology has been developed in western industrialised countries since the 1950s. Much of this is computer-based, through necessity. Settlement systems, whether seen at the regional or metropolitan level, at the level of the neighbourhood or even at the level of an individual building and its immediate environment, represent complex entities. Their planning, design, construction, operation and maintenance is an involved process. Furthermore, the decisions made in respect of provision of urban infrastructure have significant implications for the economic performance of local economies and the social well-being of the constituent population.
