Abstract
The concept of complexity is the unparalleled representative of a vision that portrays our reality as continuously evolving. Complexity is thus inextricably linked to dynamic processes of development and is therefore a qualification of a reality in which situations (including spatial situations) cannot be seen as unchanging, atemporal and independent of their context. With complexity, the meaning of a planning issue is sought not only in ‘being’ but also in ‘becoming’.
