For many young planners, the noble intentions with going to
planning school seem starkly out of place in the neoliberal worlds
they have come to inhabit. For some, the huge gap between the power
they thought they would have and what they actually do is not only
worrying, but also deeply discouraging. But for some others,
practice means finding practical and creative solutions to overcome
challenges and complexities. How do young planners in different
settings respond to seemingly similar situations like these? What
do they do - give up, adjust, or fight back? What role did their
planning education play, and could it have helped in preparing and
assisting them to respond to the world they are encountering? In
this edited volume, stories of young planners from sixteen
countries that engage these questions are presented. The sixteen
cases range from settings with older, established planning systems
(e.g., USA, the Netherlands, and the UK) to settings where the
system is less set (e.g., Brazil), being remodeled (e.g., South
Africa and Bosnia Herzegovina), and under stress (e.g., Turkey and
Poland). Each chapter explores what might be done differently to
prepare young planners for the complexities and challenges of their
'real worlds'. This book not only points out what is absent, but
also offers planning educators an alternative vision. The editors
and esteemed contributors provide reflections and suggestions as to
how this new generation of young planners can be supported to
survive in, embrace, and change the world they are encountering,
and, in the spirit of planning, endeavor to 'change it for the
better'.
