Dutch planner, JM de Casseres, is said to have coined the term ‘planology’ to describe the science of the spatial organisation of the community. Many of his writings are of their time, but an evident passion for building better cities and towns runs through them, a passion that resonates strongly with us.

We were drawn to one phrase in his 1937 article, ‘Principles of Planology – A Contribution to the Scientific Foundation of Town and Country Planning’:

A place for everything and everything in its place – that, briefly, is the task of planology.

With those planning ideals in mind, we selected ‘Planology’ as our name as it reflects our passion for town planning law and our optimism that the decisions made today will build great cities and towns for future generations.
