Planning Education: Unleashing the Future
Planning education is at an exciting threshold. Planning pervades public and private life; and the potential for understanding, engaging, and advancing society through planning is vast. Planning schools now apply planning to a broad array of subjects, and the definitions of planning seem to vary as much as its applications.
This article, the result of visits to a dozen of the better-known planning schools during the 1986-1987 academic year, points up several traits by which one can distinguish planning from other fields, and presents several criticisms of the education enterprise. It concludes that planning education is a high calling and that planning educators are practicing that calling in some remarkable ways.
