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?
