ABSTRACT
Different articles have discussed and debated the validity and importance of quantitative, qualitative, and mixed-use methods. At times the wrong method has been used, and experts explain how a different method would provide better data. The beginning of this chapter provides an overview of key planning articles in this argument. It then summarizes articles that have discussed peer reviews and the impact factor of different planning journals. The rest of the chapter includes an overview of key articles about a variety of planning topics such as smart growth, transportation, urban design, land use, and climate change. The chapter finishes with an overview of all the planning journals with their impact factors, as well as other planning-related topics.
