A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
This paper uses a national sample of 614 members of the American Institute of Planners working in public agencies, to look at role choices of planners. It first discusses a two-factor model of role, placing it in the context of existing models of role in planning; and then develops a typology of three roles—the technician, the politician, and the hybrid. Factors which may contribute to the choice of one role over another are then examined, with particular focus on the way planners come to be “hydrids,” since this role has been little explored.
