ABSTRACT

City planning is both in a state of flux and quite static. We are all familiar with the manifestations of change. While most planners used to be generalists in the area of land use and zoning, the profession is becoming broader and, at the same time, more specialized. One is no longer simply a city planner but a housing planner, land use planner, or transportation planner. A myriad of new specialties are emerginghistoric preservation, economic development, water quality management, energy conservation-in areas that were formerly outside the planner's domain. At the same time, old specialties such as urban renewal fade away.
