Eh, I feel like horizontal decentralised planning would work better, where people tell what their needs are and the day-to-day administration (which is tasked with exclusively doing that task, and cannot increase its power) then does so.
For example, take a small town somewhere. It has no bus stops, schools, or such.
Under capitalism, flight would continue; the doctor leaves, and even the grocery store too; and we get a ghost town eventually.
Under central planning or a mixed-market economy, the flight would mostly be halted. But this comes at the cost of a lack of input and choice. It is up to the central committees whether the town can continue to exist, or not.
Under decentralised planning such as in anarchocommunism, however, people give their direct input to what they need, and in return the administration must act accordingly. Thus a bus stop might be built; a school, and so on.
