Abstract
It is difficult to come to grips with the major issues involved in American planning education unless they are viewed within the context of what is happening in planning practice, as well as within society at large. Also, to understand the current situation, we must see it against the background of what has happened during the past few decades and what the near future seems to hold. To develop a meaningful picture of the state of the art of planning education, I have found it helpful to sketch out the relationship of planning education to two key contextual elements: (1) major social trends and governmental programs, and (2) planning practice, over a reasonably long period of time—from 1940 to the present (1974) and projected forward fifteen years.
