Soccer. AFL. In the right season, cricket. It’s common to play out the match ahead of time. Who’s performing well. Who had a shocker last week. If we’re lucky enough to be part of the live action you can see small plays around the goal that set up for the mark. Skirmishes off to the side that allow for the break away try. A late shuffle in the slips signalling something out wide. And as our eyeballs scan the field for the strategic moves of game play, we’re all doing something that serves as an analogy for the wider urban field of play. We’re witnessing a set of strategic plays unfold. Canadian Ice Hockey star, Wayne Gretzky was quoted as saying; ‘A good hockey player plays where the puck is. A great hockey player plays where the puck is going to be.’ Glory on the sporting field is all about anticipating where that puck/ball/catch is coming next. Imagine if that was how we ran our cities? feedback@thepunch.com.au (Tim Horton) Article http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/australian-cities-failure-to-plan-means-planning-to-fail/#comments http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/australian-cities-failure-to-plan-means-planning-to-fail/#item6820 Fri, 30 Sep 2011 19:50:58 +0000 Tim Horton | Author bios | The Punch
