Thinking Alike
Few studies have compared planners from different countries. This article reports the findings of a study of selected attitudes of a sample of Dutch, Spanish, and American planners from the mid 1990s. It looks specifically at the extent to which planners in these three countries think similarly or differently about a range of process, substantive, and work-setting issues relevant to the planning field. While differences show up on some attitudes in the process arena, we found that the three groups of planners thought much more alike than differently than the national, cultural, and planning system contexts in which they operate would have suggested. We discuss the dimensions of a common planning ideology that cuts across national boundaries and consider the implications of this finding for the planning field in a global context.
