We review our present knowledge about the formation and evolution of planetary nebulae and discuss the relevant processes responsible in creating and shaping planetary nebulae out of a cool AGB wind envelope. Based on 1D simulations we show that a hydrodynamical treatment along the upper AGB leads quite naturally to more realistic starting configurations for planetaries with density slopes steeper than r−2. Taking into account photoionization and wind interaction in a realistic manner, the hydrodynamics of post-AGB wind envelopes leads to density structures and velocity fields in close resemblance to observations of spherical or elliptical planetary nebulae.
