I had to remember M. Neuman's article in JAPA: Does planning needs a plan? But beyond that: while the narrative about planning is still largely critical and some non-planners use any opportunity to discredit professional planning, I have the impression that there are plenty of non-planners that are "rediscovering the wheel", bringing back some technocratic and comprehensive planning approaches that were thought to have been overcome and are just as pointless today as they were then, e.g., focusing of forms and forgetting function.
