Two friends and colleagues who work in very different political atmospheres reveal how the political landscape affects a variety of planning topics. Impacts include, but are not limited to, broad policy differences on issues such as missing middle housing, urban design and parking, and consideration of equity in planning as well as more practical issues like noticing for public meetings, using urban design techniques, and state permitting and environmental oversights. The differences illustrate pros and cons of each and that no approach is better or perfect.
Walk away with not only an understanding of how the state and local political landscape can influence planning but also how to successfully navigate your own work environment. By understanding the differences in policy and practical approaches, learn to determine what works best to ensure an inclusive process that meets your community’s needs.
Learning Objectives:
Consider how differing state and local political landscapes influence planning approaches, policies, and outcomes and understand their strengths and challenges.
Successfully navigate different political contexts in your work environment while meeting planning objectives.
Apply strategies to adapt planning processes for inclusivity and effectiveness within diverse political environments.
