This blog post explores the value of planning, particularly comprehensive planning. It debunks the common misconceptions that planning is costly and only results in an inflexible, impractical regulatory document. It then describes three reasons why planning is necessary:

1. Urban planning embodies a vision
2. Urban planning is a value creation tool
3. Urban planning allows stakeholders to communicate and coordinate their needs

The blog post concludes by briefly reflecting on how urban planning can be made more effective and useful.
