Leadership in Planning: How to Communicate Ideas and Effect Positive Change
By Jeff Levine, lecturer in urban studies and planning
Routledge · 2021
Community organizers like Jane Jacobs rightly blamed city planners for neighborhoods destroyed in the name of "progress," and determined that the field was flawed. Yet in this book, Levine argues that critical societal challenges, such as affordable housing, climate change, and racial disparities, need planners to lead the way more than ever. He presents ideas for how to provide planning leadership inclusively.
From Summer 2022 recommended reading from MIT (MIT News).
