Abstract
An indictment has been lodged against computers, claiming that computer system implementation tends to usurp attention away from the more pressing problems of urban planning. Furthermore, it has been charged that computers should not be permitted a role in high level bureaucratic and legislative decision making. The troubled times which our cities are experiencing bear bitter witness to the fact that past independent, intuitive judgement has not satisfactorily met the challenge of urban societal planning. Computer technology, coupled with technical advances in urban sciences, provides a powerful tool for use in creative public management. It is administrative inefficient use of resources to relegate the computer to handle only routine clerical tasks. This paper takes the form of testimony on behalf of the defense, computer technology, against the charges presented by authors Robbins and Harvey [1].
