The Social Relations of the Planner

The city planner, in playing his role, engages in a social process which can be analyzed in terms of a planning role, a client role, and a community decision network—all interacting around a public agenda. In the conceptual framework presented here, the planner is viewed as having a primary relationship with his client group, whom he must first motivate. Then, together, the planner-client team must relate to the larger community network, which they attempt to move. Both sets of relationships are affected by role postures, situational factors, and environmental conditions. This analysis suggests that traditional notions of the planner's role are too narrowly focused on substantive methodologies which imply highly simplistic assumptions about the social setting for planning.     

The Pedestrian,Downtown, and the Planner

Every downtown plan recognizes the role of the pedestrian and the importance of pedestrian activity. Most plans call for special amenities such as pedestrian malls, underpasses, plazas, and arcades. Treatment of the subject has been generally subjective, based on planners' intuitions and accepted planning theory. Here the evaluation of pedestrian movements in downtown areas suggests means of measuring and projecting pedestrian traffic flow.

John Nolen: The Background of a Pioneer Planner

The early development of modern physical planning as a separate profession in the United States coincides with the reform period in our political history known as the “progressive era.” Both phenomena were new attempts at dealing with a changed condition-the emergence of America as a culture whose traditional lifeways had become increasingly depersonal, thoroughly industrialized, and predominantly urban. Of the planners, few seem to have been better prepared to deal with the demands of a rapidly changing order than John Nolen, whose background prior to his first major works in 1909 exemplifies that mixture of ongoing attitudes and innovations necessary to meet changing cultural conditions.     

My Career as a Planner

In this essay, the author traces her development from a political scientist to an urban planner. Looking back on more than 40 years as a scholar and professor of planning, Fainstein deems issues of inequality derived from class, ethnicity, and gender to have been the focus of her teaching and scholarship. At first, she approached these questions through empirical investigations of citizen participation and theoretical exploration of the neo-Marxist literature and her early research focused on the politics of planning in American cities, the contributions of community groups, and the roles played by business interests. Later, she examined redevelopment and housing programs in London and Amsterdam to contrast these more welfare-oriented European cities to the American model and examined the relationship between gender and planning. Eventually, she brought together her empirical and theoretical research to develop a theory of urban justice and to suggest policies at the local level that were in line with these principles.

My 60 Years as a Planner

This article is a continuation of JAPA’s “Perspective” series that provides a view of the 60-year career of Richard S. Bolan. In those 60 years Bolan experienced four different career phases beginning with eight years of practice experience, followed by a period at the former Joint Center for Urban Studies of MIT and Harvard. From there he joined the faculty of Boston College, where he published numerous contributions to planning theory. In 1985 he moved to the Humphrey Institute at the University of Minnesota, where he engaged in international work focusing on Central and Eastern Europe and wrote about the failed role of planning in the fall of communism and essential works in environmental remedial work for an extremely polluted region. He has continued teaching since officially retiring in 1988 with current responsibilities teaching planning theory at the doctoral level. He has just completed a book being considered for publication, titled Urban Planning's Philosophical Entanglements: The Rugged Dialectical Path from Knowledge to Action.
