Abstract: Abstract Scholz’ paper proposes considering Brunswik’s principles as “ontological,” also with regard to managing complexity in sustainable transition management. I review this proposal with reference to planning for sustainable urban development. My conclusion is: The FSA-Brunswik model cannot be considered a model for successful sustainability planning, neither in general nor for (transdisciplinary) planning groups; rather, it is a metaphor or reminder that, even if we know (urban) planning in general, we will not progress towards sustainability without considering the coupledness of human–environmental systems.
