The article begins unconventionally and experientially — with memories that became the wellspring for the author's doubts about the scientific basis of (transport) planning. These memories form an essential substrate for the formal presentation which offers a scientific approach to (transport) planning that is experiential rather than positivist. The transition from the informal to the formal presentation is via a short history of planning. The article proposes a planning process and technique, which is `beyond postmodernism'. This theoryless planning model takes the almost incomprehensible web of associations in the human unconscious as its starting point, and patterns it as a modern psychoanalytic process and technique for individuals and groups. A glossary of key terms is included.
