摘要：According to Goudappel, the concept future has different facets and meanings. The urbanistic concept identifies three levels of thinking that will influence future scenarios, namely at normative (ideostructural), at theoretical (superstructural) and at practical level (infrastructural). At ideostructural level the future is determined by the values of people. At theoretical level a new theory is sought for future planning, and each decade since 1980 offered a different solution. In practice, planning has not always assisted in making the world a better place. A new zoning could be introduced in which certain spaces are zoned as space with an indeterminate future or “open future" to withdraw land from development for certain periods (10, 20, 50, 100 or 500 years). *This article is written in Afrikaans.
