Sinopsis

When you're planning something big, problems appear rather quickly. We hear of them on a daily basis. The bigger or more complex a task, the more we have to deal with complicated, multidisciplinary task formulations. In many cases it is architecture, including urban and spatial planning, but also politics and all types of organizational forms, irrespective of whether they are public authorities or private enterprises, which are expected to deliver functional solutions for such challenges. This is precisely where this book is helpful.It introduces a methodology for developing target-specific, systematic and problem-orientedas well as action-oriented solutions. In doingso, knowledge is created that goes beyonddiscipline limits while conflicts of values andof interests are integrated into the solutionprocess. Only if one knows exactly where tostart and what must be borne in mind is thetask of solving complex problems doable andultimately successful.This book is addressed to architects as well asto urban and spatial planners, and likewise topoliticians and managers. After all, all these differentprofessionals are repeatedly confrontedwith the task of handling complex, multidisciplinaryproblems which cannot be solved byapplying routine solutions but, indeed, can besuccessfully addressed by applying the problem-solving system described in this book.

Reseña del editor

Planning is key, frequently involving highly complex and multidisciplinary problems. To deliver viable solutions for such challenges is often the task of architecture, urban and regional development planning, as well as of politics and of a wide array of organizations, such as companies or administrative authorities. This book provides a resource for this. It presents a methodology for developing targeted, systematic and action-oriented solutions that focus on specific problems. This process generates insights that go beyond the boundaries of different disciplines, with conflicts of interest and of values integrated into the solution process. Being clear about what to tackle and what to watch out for enables the solving of complex problems. This book is aimed at architects, urban and regional planners, as well as managers and politicians, for they are all continuously faced with the task of having to deal with complex and multidisciplinary problems, for which routine solutions are ineffective and which require the systematic approach to problem solving presented in this handbook.
