Planning Students Virtual Evening Chat

Discussion Topic:

How Planning Theory is or Can Shape students' perspective towards the Planning Profession 

 

  • How does planning theory shape how students view the planning profession and their future roles within it?

 

  • Is planning theory still relevant in a technologically driven, data-intensive, and increasingly remote planning environment?

 

  • Are there emerging or evolving theories we should be thinking about? What might “new theory” look like for the next generation of planners?

 

  • What does the rise of private planning firms mean for the relationship between theory and practice?

 

  • Are students entering a profession where theoretical ideals still guide decisions, or where market realities and consulting culture increasingly redefine them?
