The essential thing that the planner does is plan for the future, which means make decisions. We often lose sight of that because we get diverted into these other things. The seminar aims to reflect on the role of the urbanist and planner in Thailand today: between possibilities and contradictions. The seminar also includes a comparison between the European and Italian situations: a complex history,not without contradictions, but which offers a future perspective that must not be allowed to fade away. Because quoting Ray Wyatt: No-one else kicks the ball. Only the footballer. Only the planner plans.
