Urban planning is also the profession of those who facilitate this process. Questions of effectiveness, acceptability, access, equity, ‘sustainability’, and spatial justice are central to urban planning, and while the practice of planning is as old as the cities themselves, the profession of urban planning is only about a century old.</p> Mon, 05 Dec 2011 19:20:56 +0000 nicholas.luka@mcgill.ca 6 at /urbanplanning
