Urban Planning Education: Beginnings, Global Movement and Future Prospects (The Urban Book Series)

"This book examines planning education provision and approaches globally, through a comparative and longitudinal perspective. It explores the emergence of planning education in the 20th century, with its rich variation and yet a remarkable degree of cross-fertilization. Each of the sections of the book is framed by an overview essay which has been prepared by the editors to provide the reader with a critical exposure to relevant scholarship drawing on the detailed case studies and exploratory essays on key issues in planning education. The first part of this volume focuses on the emergence of planning education programs in the twentieth century as a way to understand the current planning education environment. Then we explore how education in urban, regional and spatial planning has developed in different ways in different countries and continents. The final part of this volume aims to envision how planning can adapt and develop to remain relevant to the development of human environments in the 21st century. Urban planning education has become a pervasive practice throughout the world as urbanization and development pressures have increased over the past half century, and as demand increased for professional trained experts to guide those processes. The approaches vary widely, based in part upon the discipline from which the planning program developed as well as the context-specific challenges within the country or region where the program resides."-- Provided by publisher Front Matter....Pages i-xv Introduction....Pages 1-7 Front Matter....Pages 9-9 The Origins of Planning Education: Overview....Pages 11-25 The Department of Civic Design at Liverpool University and Its Lever Professors: Influence and Wider Legacies....Pages 27-48 Educating Planners at MIT: Eight Decades of Changing Cities....Pages 49-63 Jaqueline Tyrwhitt and the Internationalization of Planning Education....Pages 65-80 Six Decades of Planning Education in China: Those Planned and Unplanned....Pages 81-99 Tertiary Education and Postwar Reconstruction: The First Australian Planning Programs....Pages 101-118 Planning Education in Brazil....Pages 119-128 Front Matter....Pages 129-129 Adapting, Shifting, Defining New Roles: Education for a Maturing Professional Field....Pages 131-145 Partnerships in Planning Education: The Association of African Planning Schools (AAPS)....Pages 147-160 Planning Paradigm Shift in the Era of Transition from Urban Development to Management: The Case of Korea....Pages 161-174 Development of Planning Education in Postcommunist Poland....Pages 175-188 Advancing Education for Planning Professionals in Estonia—Between New Qualities and Path-Dependency....Pages 189-204 Planning Education in Bangladesh....Pages 205-217 The Roles of Planning Education in the Decentralization and Democratization Era: Lessons from Indonesia....Pages 219-231 Front Matter....Pages 233-233 Envisioning the Future of Planning and Planning Education....Pages 235-250 Educational Partnerships for Innovation in Communities (EPIC): Harnessing University Resources to Create Change....Pages 251-268 The Collaborative Interdisciplinary Studio....Pages 269-292 Planning Education with and Through Technologies....Pages 293-306 Educating Code-Switchers in a Post-sustainability World....Pages 307-321 Front Matter....Pages 233-233 Are Planning Programs Delivering What Planning Students Need?
