	Universities are the new city planners - The Boston Globe
		Cities used to be planned by professional city planners.
		City planners, in the era of Boston's Ed Logue, were proactive.
		City planners inform prospective developers that they must, at their own expense, create a vast underground parking area, build the streets and sidewalks and maintain them in perpetuity, install and maintain the utilities, and design, build, and maintain the public parks.

	History Of Cities And City Planning
		Cities, with their concentration of talent, mixture of peoples, and economic surplus, have provided a fertile ground for the evolution of human culture: the arts, scientific research, and technical innovation.
		Cities must conform to the landscape in which they are located, although technologies have gradually been developed to reorganize the land to suit human purposes.
		City planners engage in a constant search for the proper arrangement of these different types of land use, paying particular attention to the compatibility of different activities, population densities, traffic generation, economic efficiency, social relationships, and the height and bulk of buildings.

	The City the Planners Saw
		The river, which determined the city's location and was crucial to its economy, is now a disgraceful cesspool, spanned irregularly by inadequate bridges and made less navigable by all kinds of impediments.
		By the 1890s, and certainly by the time the planners set down to work, the city had reached very close to its full geographical limits, and its basic physical, economic, and settlement patterns were in place.
		The planners could not foresee the war and its local consequences, of course, but they were convinced that it was no longer acceptable to dismiss the city's shortcomings as a phase that it would soon naturally outgrow.

	Planners Network: Publications
		The city has Fair Share Guidelines specifying criteria for the equitable location of city-owned and -operated facilities so that neighborhoods receive their share of the "goods" as well as no more than their share of the "bads." However, the waste industry in the city is largely private.
		Unfortunately, when the City Planning Department evaluates a change to an M district, the impact of the proposed change on the remainder of the city's M zones is not considered.
		The city administration should cultivate these community gardens as a low-cost method of achieving sustainability, food security, and waste reuse, as is done in many cities throughout the country and the world.

	Lower Manhattan : News \| City Planners Plot East River Waterfront Makeover
		In early 2003, New York City laid the groundwork for an ambitious new effort designed to attract more New Yorkers to the East River waterfront, introducing residents as well as tourists to the sights and sounds of this historic area.
		City officials hope to implement some changes to the area rapidly, providing better access to the waterfront as quickly as possible.
		By early 2005, the City hopes to have a preferred direction agreed upon for the Master Plan.

	Urban and regional planners
		Planners also may be involved in drafting legislation on environmental, social, and economic issues, such as sheltering the homeless, planning a new park, or meeting the demand for new correctional facilities.
		Urban and regional planners often confer with land developers, civic leaders, and public officials and may function as mediators in community disputes, presenting alternatives that are acceptable to opposing parties.
		Planners must be able to think in terms of spatial relationships and visualize the effects of their plans and designs.

	Food System: Stranger to the Planning Field
		Planners partly justify their role by claiming competence in dealing with public goods, such as air and water, and with services in which the private sector is unwilling to invest, such as public transit, sewers, highways, and parks.
		Economic development planners could analyze the extent to which economic development may be stimulated by encouraging food-related businesses, or simulate the effects of food-related economic trends such as plant closures (especially of food processing plants), higher gas prices, drought and so on, on the access of residents to quality and affordable food.
		Planners are in a unique position to engage the community in a dialogue about the meaning and goals of a food secure community.

		Planners and community members decide how to improve their community today and explore how the community should be 20 years from now.
		Planners worked with designers to restore the elegant entrances, trees, grass and flowers to the park.
		These students, sitting by the pool in the children's park, worked with planners on the redesign of an industrial and business area into a neighborhood that was kid-friendly.

	City planners move ahead on key projects
		City planners have proposed new zoning rules that will allow developments on smaller lots -- 3,200 square feet instead of the former 8,000 square feet -- which could spur more hillside development, especially in neighborhoods such as the South Side Slopes and Arlington.
		The city does not want "an abnormality or a scar on the side of the hill," planner Dan Sentz said.
		The overall project goal, according to city planners, is to replace blight with new market-priced and federally subsidized housing.

	City Planners greenlight beach club renovations
		CITY HALL — Despite threats of a lawsuit, the Planning Commission Wednesday approved plans for the creation of a public beach club at the old Marion Davies estate.
		City Attorney Marsha Moutrie has advised against any such agreement that would bind City Hall indefinitely, and has suggested the council could include the operating conditions as part of the site’s use permit.
		The commissioners’ decision was made easier after learning from city staff that the California Department of Transportation, Caltrans, had agreed to erect a traffic signal at the club’s proposed entrance.

	The Hindu : Andhra Pradesh News : City planners have a lot to learn from Bogota
		He is convinced that even while building flyovers, urban planners should think of new approaches to make the capital "for people and not for automobiles" as was done in Bogota.
		Hyderabad is a perfect case of roads reaching near saturation point because it has only 6 per cent space for roads, among the least in the country, while the vehicle density was the highest at 2,337 vehicles per km of road length (see graph).
		Penalosa decided to promote a city model that progressively restricts car use, launched BRTS, built or rebuilt 1,100 parks, improved marginal neighbourhoods, housing for poor, etc. His premise was it would be next to impossible to ape city infrastructure of developed nations considering the Third World's income levels and population growth.

	City planners to look at site plan changes
		City planners will discuss amendments to the site plan for 124 West Front St., a building proposed by Uzelac-backers Federated Properties.
		The city commission in February approved a bond issue of up to $16 million to pay for a 500-plus space public parking deck in an eight-story project proposed by Uzelac for the south side of West Front.
		City officials said they cannot afford to pay for parking on both the north and south sides of the street.

	SignOnSanDiego.com > News > Metro -- Planners say it takes villages to grow a city
		Since then, city planners have scrambled to revamp plans to reflect community feedback and to accommodate revised population numbers, which are lower than first predicted.
		City planners, however, remain undaunted, contending there is no other choice for San Diego, where buildable land has shrunk to nearly 10 percent of the city's 331 square miles.
		Planners emphasize that the City of Villages plan was shaped during dozens of community meetings held throughout the city.

	City planners aim for 'American village' style with Bonita’s architecture \| BonitaNews.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Those standards were born out of recommendations the planning agency made to the City Council after complaints arose about the government’s haphazard approach to style.
		But when the City Council adopted the design standards in January, it decided it wanted a more permanent and stable situation than using volunteers, so it contracted the work out to Vincent, who is paid $100 per hour.
		Instead of choosing one style for the whole city, the City Council should regulate certain styles to the different parts of the municipality, Strader said.

	Plots & Plans: Plazas (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		As a result of such studies, many of the city's planners concluded that certain amenities should be mandated and encouraged and many of these, such as seating, water elements, landscaping, and the like, are often desirable.
		The city has been a national leader in pioneering zoning and while it came late to historic preservation it realized that its landmarks commission was sailing forth into untested legal waters.
		There are obviously good and bad plazas and city planners have tinkered over the years to try to create formulas that would guarantee that they would not be "wasted" but usable and desirable public space.

	The City of La Palma, hometown charm and civic spirit...
		Soon after the small farming community began its life, city planners decided that the city should benefit from a long term program for orderly development.
		Since many of La Palma's residential structures were built nearly 30 years ago, the city's homes are currently undergoing extensive remodeling and real estate values in the area have been climbing as a result.

	Vantage Point Technologies -City Planners

		The cost (in terms of money, time, and effort) is minimal and allows the city to evaluate projects in context unlike before.
		Would it be helpful for city staff to have access to a large library of common "urban culture" objects (trees, lighting, benches, etc.) that they can use to study the cityscape?

		The city has in place and continues to update several "master plans" that detail needs for roads, parks, sidewalks, sewers and other projects to keep up with growth.
		But the city has been criticized by "smart growth" advocates for not creating or implementing an overarching plan for the long-term future of the city and its expansion.
