| Course Objectives: |
By reviewing recent thinking about planning theory, the course will make students more self-critical about the planning profession and should provide you with an understanding of the political, organizational and personality variables that contribute to effective planning. A second aim of the course is to prepare students to think about the political and ethical ramifications of their own decisions as a professional planner. As we proceed through the course I will present you with a series of dilemmas facing planners today.
