Social Policy in Cities: Toward a Theory of Urban Social Planning
Social planning is viewed as a means by which urban problems can be resolved. Historical developments in social planning are reviewed. Planning or decisionmaking models are considered as they relate to the social planning process. Concepts associated with social planning are discussed, including human resource development and social policymaking. The social component of planning is interpreted broadly, with consideration given to the realm of urban planning as performed by agencies, organizations, and institutions. The relationship between social planning and social welfare is explored, and the role of social planning in solving the urban problems of cities is addressed. A typology of social planning strategies is presented, along with criteria for assessing urban social planning techniques. Four types of models are detailed: (1) centralized rationality (comprehensive models); (2) centralized nonrationality (administrative models); (3) decentralized rationality (the advocacy model); and (4) decentralized nonrationality (community process models). Planning and political processes in the theoretical development of solutions to urban problems are explored. The issue of technocracy versus participation is discussed. A bibliography is provided.
