American communities are changing fast: ethnic minority populations
are growing, home ownership is falling, the number of people per
household is going up, and salaries are going down. According to
Marc Brenman and Thomas W. Sanchez, the planning field is largely
unprepared for these fundamental shifts. If planners are going to
adequately serve residents of diverse ages, races, and income
levels, they need to address basic issues of equity. "Planning as
if People Matter" offers practical solutions to make our
communities more livable and more equitable for all
residents.
While there are many books on environmental justice, relatively few
go beyond theory to give real-world examples of how better planning
can level inequities. In contrast, "Planning as if People Matter"
is written expressly for planning practitioners, public
administrators, policy-makers, activists, and students who must
directly confront these challenges. It provides new insights about
familiar topics such as stakeholder participation and civil rights.
And it addresses emerging issues, including disaster response, new
technologies, and equity metrics. Far from an academic treatment,
"Planning as if People Matter" is rooted in hard data,
on-the-ground experience, and current policy analysis.
In this tumultuous period of economic change, there has never been
a better time to reform the planning process. Brenman and Sanchez
point the way toward a more just social landscape.
