Wicked Problems

Wicked problems is a term of art from the high tech world. Wicked problems are ones where the nature of the problem changes the more you try to solve it. A moving target, much like many social and community problems faced by city planners. City builders deal with problems, sometimes called opportunities, all the time. Problem solving is the reason the profession exists. However, all problems are not alike. Understanding the type of problem being faced can make the difference in finding a good solution, or not – know thy enemy.
