A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
Two planning orientations are described, and their impact on the development of an urban renewal plan for Boston's South End from 1961 to 1965 is assessed in the context of the interaction between planner and citizens. The first planner implicitly adopted a power elite model of planning, while the second planner adopted a pluralistic model. It was found that the use of these two orientations or models had a major influence on four aspects of planning: planning process; planner's use of influence; citizen groups with whom the planner primarily worked; and planner's relationship with the central office. The study compares two project planning teams working with communitywide and neighborhood-based groups. Findings indicate that the planner's own professional orientation strongly influences which segment of the population with which he identifies: communitywide elite or neighborhood groups. It is noted that planners working with communitywide leaders emphasize the conceptualization of holistic plans, whereas planners working with neighborhood bodies work out specific substantive programs. Where both levels of planning exist, as in many Model Cities programs, differences in values will be found between the two levels. It appears that the second approach meets with more success and acceptance despite some of the difficulties encountered because of community support.
