Foreword
A generation or more ago when land use transport models were first being developed, the focus was on how different models compared with one another in technical and theoretical terms. There was a concern for dynamics, for interaction and for calibration and validation, but less so for how such models might be interfaced with wider planning processes and the stakeholders that operate such systems and are indeed influenced by the plans that emerged from them. The state of the art then consisted of comparative studies of cross-sectional comprehensive spatial interaction model applications catalogued, for example, in the ISGLUTI Project – the International Study Group on Land Use Transport Interaction – and reported in the book by Webster, Bly and Paulley (1988). The dominant focus was very much in terms of the technical performance of models rather than their use in planning or policy-making. As our experience of these models grew and evolved, this focus began to shift to the context in which models were best used. Onto the agenda came ideas about the various tools that had been developed to inform how we might best make good plans, and how these could be stitched together into coherent planning methods. Planning support systems in analogy to decision support in management were first formally suggested over 20 years ago by Britton Harris (1989) in his seminal article Beyond geographic information systems: computers and the planning professional as a way of bridging the development of computer models and tools with the activities of plan-making. Since then, a series of contributions to ways
