Abstract:This report marks the conclusion of the third phase of the Metropolitan Plan Evaluation Project. Findings of both phases two and three are summarized here. More detailed and technical results have been reported previously. The continuing metropolitan planning process consists of a complex of activities involving elected and appointed decision makers, private citizens, and technical staff. The demands on these participants are enormous in terms of time, energy and intellectual ability. Past research has sought to expand the information available to this planning process; however, little effort has been directed to the problem of managing the process itself, such as procedures to enable participants to cope with this increased flow of information. The procedures proposed in response to the above problem, the planning process diagram and the planning situation chart. These procedures represent the continuing planning process using concepts drawn from artificial and natural language, Part One of the report describes the authors' definition and perspective on the continuing planning process. Part Two describes the two representations, or language systems. Part Three demonstrates the use of the languages in a prototype planning process drawn from a watershed planning program of the Southeastern Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission.
