Essential Methods for Planning Practitioners, Skills and Techniques for Data Analysis, Visualization, and Communication

Abstract

This book assembles and organizes a selected range of methods and techniques that every planning practitioner should know to be successful in the contemporary global urban landscape.

The book is unique because it links different aspects of the planning/policy-making enterprise with the appropriate methods and approaches, thus contextualizing the use of specific methods and techniques within a sociopolitical and ethical framework.

This volume familiarizes readers with the diverse range of methods, techniques, and skills that must be applied at different scales in dynamic workplace environments where planning policies and programs are developed and implemented.

This book is an invaluable resource in helping new entrants to the planning discourse and profession set aside their own disciplinary biases and empowering them to use their expert knowledge to address societal concerns.

This is a book for planning practitioners – for those aspiring to become planners, new graduates, practitioners changing careers, and anyone who is interested in understanding what planners do.

This is also a book about planning methods and techniques. As coauthors, we have expertise and experience in architecture, geogra-phy, urban planning, and Geographic Information Science; we set out to write a book that organizes planning methods and techniques within a theoretical context and describe the use of the methods in the context of undertaking conventional planning activities.

Planning practitioners all over the world, particularly those working for local governments, encounter complex challenges in their everyday work.

They combat a weary societal cynicism that dismisses planning as ineffective or irrelevant while simultaneously chafing at perceived overreach that undermines self-determination. Planning offices are under-resourced and planners often struggle as they strive to speak truth to power.
