Response to Portugali: Seeing the forest for the trees

This commentary provides several critiques to Portugali's admirably ambitious paper on the utility of applying Bohm's scientific approach to unify the current disarray in urban studies. The critiques focus on incommensurability between science and social science, conceptual over-reach, and the value of diversity versus unity.
