A Planning Life: Bridging Academics and Practice
Looking back at a life as a planner–educator, the author sees many positive signs that three main concepts not only continue to shape the field of planning in fundamental ways, but are gaining steam. First, the primary product of city and regional planning is the creation of good places for people—not only physically, but also socially, economically, and environmentally—from streets and neighborhoods to cities and regions. Second, public planning is fundamentally a collaborative process, involving not only direct stakeholders but also an influential cast of practitioners, politicians, administrators, citizens, advocates, analysts, researchers, and educators. Third, the most important role for the planner is to be a tireless advocate for good collaboration and good places, building consensus for doing the right thing through helping the public and decision makers understand the consequences of their actions.
