    The Routledge Handbook of International Planning Education is the first comprehensive handbook with a unique focus on planning education. Comparing approaches to the delivery of planning education by three major planning education accreditation bodies in the United States, Australia, and the United Kingdom, and reflecting concerns from other national planning systems, this handbook will help to meet the strong interest and need for understanding how planning education is developed and delivered in different international contexts.

    The handbook is divided into five major sections, including coverage of general planning knowledge, planning skills, traditional and emerging planning specializations, and pedagogy. An international cohort of contributors covers each subject’s role in educating planners, its theory and methods, key literature contributions, and course design.

    Higher education’s response to globalization has included growth in planning educational exchanges across international boundaries; The Routledge Handbook of International Planning Education is an essential resource for planners and planning educators, informing the dialogue on the mobility of planners educated under different national schema.

    Biography

    Nancey Green Leigh, Bruce Stiftel

    "After the start of planning education at Liverpool University (1907), the planning teaching exploded in post-war societies and recently in the awaking of new economies in the south. This first international handbook offers a unique insight in the common grounds, enabling a cross fertilization of experiences over the world."
    Willem Salet, University of Amsterdam

     

    "This insightful book is timely at the start of modern urban planning’s second century. I predict that reviewers of the 50-year anniversary edition, writing in 2070, will find that planning education is even more highly valued by society and that the emerging normative themes reviewed in the current edition dominate the curriculum."
    Chris Webster, Dean of the Faculty of Architecture, The University of Hong Kong

     

    "I appreciate the authors for this wonderful and unique compilation on pedagogy of Planning Education
    and highly recommend it to educators as this book bridges the gap between various schools of planning
    from different parts of the world. This book paves the way for a global discussion on this very important
    subject concerning planning education. Hopefully additional pedagogical approaches will be added to this
    book over a period time."
    Utpal Sharma, Director, Institute of Architecture & Planning, Nirma University, Ahmedabad

     

    "Bringing together informative chapters on the essence of planning and its pedagogy, on core components, specialisation subjects and emerging topics in planning education, and on approaches to professional competency assessment, The Routledge Handbook of International Planning Education is a must-read for those who teach planning and research in planning. I found it an enjoyable and informative read, as well as a valuable sourcebook on how planning education is evolving and being delivered in different international contexts."
    Prof.Dr. Ela Babalik, METU, Ankara

     

    The Routledge Handbook of International Planning Education promises to be the most influential and widely used guide to the how, what and why of planning education.  The perspectives and advice tendered by this distinguished and diverse assemblage of planning educators will ensure that all of us do what we do more effectively. It has no equal.”
    Christopher Silver, PhD, FAICP, Department of Urban and Regional Planning, University of Florida

     

    “The ongoing conversation on how planning training travels across international borders is more relevant than ever. This volume provides a conceptually astute and carefully curated range of papers that considers the geographic and sectoral dimensions of this. It is a rich resource for planning educators as well as those in related disciplines.”
    Nancy Odendaal, University of Cape Town; Chair: Association of African Planning Schools

     

    "This handbook is a great compendium of theories and practices that celebrate planning education. At the same time, it catapults planning as a dynamic contemporary disciplinary field taught in universities. A must read reference for planning educators throughout the world."
    Juan Ángel Demerutis Arenas, Professor/ researcher at the University of Guadalajara and President of the Association of Latin American Schools of Planning and Urbanism (ALEUP- Asociación Latinoamericana de Escuelas de Urbanismo y Planificación)

     

    "Providing broad and diverse contributions to planning education coming from English-language scholarship, from methodologies to emerging and traditional areas of analyses and practice, this handbook provides a powerful opportunity to share common knowledges, creative experiences and practices related to planning in different contexts, emphasizing solidarity and empowerment of social groups over competition."
    Heloisa Costa, Federal University of Minas Gerais and ANPUR
