Abstract
We argue that antifragility is a valuable and contentful goal for planning, distinct from resilience. We present a possible conceptualisation and delineate the essential properties of an antifragile planning, its affinities with the capability approach, and discuss the possible sources of its legitimacy within the conception of a liberal-democratic state. Hence the suggestion to incorporate antifragility into both the methodology and the content of planning.
