The contributors of Policy, Planning, and People argue for the
promotion of social equity and quality of life by designing and
evaluating urban policies and plans. Edited by Naomi Carmon and
Susan S. Fainstein, the volume features original essays by leading
authorities in the field of urban planning and policy, mainly from
the United States, but also from Canada, Hungary, Italy, and
Israel. The contributors discuss goal setting and ethics in
planning, illuminate paradigm shifts, make policy recommendations,
and arrive at best practices for future planning. Policy, Planning,
and People includes theoretical as well as practice-based essays on
a wide range of planning issues: housing and neighborhood,
transportation, surveillance and safety, the network society,
regional development and community development. Several essays are
devoted to disadvantaged and excluded groups such as senior
citizens, the poor, and migrant workers. The unifying themes of
this volume are the values of equity, diversity, and democratic
participation. The contributors discuss and draw conclusions
related to the planning process and its outcomes. They demonstrate
the need to look beyond efficiency to determine who benefits from
urban policies and plans. Contributors: Alberta Andreotti, Tridib
