    Abstract
    Many commentators have argued that the modernist planning project has failed. This paper proposes a way forward for the profession, offering a portrait of the postmodern planner as a passionate pilgrim, a tireless seeker after social, environmental and cultural justice in the planning of human settlements. I outline five critical elements of the shift from a modernist to a postmodern paradigm; I ask what, or whom, might inspire our vision of planning for the twenty-first century; and I sketch some of the qualities, or literacies (technical, multicultural, ecological, and design-based), that the passionate pilgrim will need for the journey into the next century.
     
    De nombreux observateurs ont prétendu que la période moderniste de l'urbanisme était un échec. Cet article propose une perspective d'avenir en traçant un portrait de l'urbaniste postmoderne. Il le présente comme un pèlerin passionné poursuivant sa quête inlassable d'une justice sociale, environnementale et culturelle dans l'aménagement des milieux de vie. On y expose cinq éléments marquants du passage du modernisme au postmodernisme ; l'auteur cherche à savoir de quoi ou de qui devrait surgir notre vision de l'urbanisme du 21ème siècle et y ébauche quelques-unes des aptitudes ou des connaissances (technique, cultures, écologie et design) qui seront nécessaires à cet infatigable pèlerin pour poursuivre sa route dans le prochain siècle.
