Topics include local economic development; small enterprises; various forms of collective action; labor and worker associations; nongovernment organizations. Links these to literature on poverty, economic development, and reform of government, and to types of projects, tasks, and environments that are conducive to equitable outcomes.http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Urban-Studies-and-Planning/11-471Fall-2007/CourseHome/index.htmTendler, Judith2008-08-08T03:42:56-04:0011.471en-USUrban Studies and PlanningCity/Urban, Community and Regional Planningequitable outcomespoverty reductiongovernment reformassociationsworker conditionsimplementationlocal economic development initiativespolitical economysmall enterprisesinformal sectorlocal economic developmentdeveloping countriesunemploymentpovertyprojectsprogramspoliciespublic sectorMIT OpenCourseWare http://ocw.mit.eduContent within individual OCW courses is (c) by the individual authors unless otherwise noted.

For further information see http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/web/terms/terms/index.htmThis course introduces incoming students in the Master in City Planning (MCP) program to the theory and history of planning in the public interest. It relies primarily on challenging real-world cases to highlight persistent dilemmas, the power and limits of planning, the multiple roles in which planners find themselves in communities around the globe, and the political, ethical, and practical dilemmas that planners face as they try to be effective. As such, the course provides an introduction to the major ideas and debates that define what the field labels “planning theory,” as well as a (necessarily) condensed global history of modern planning. Courses in planning history, politics, and ethics—often several of them—are required in all accredited graduate programs in planning in the U.S. Gateway: Planning Action combines those contents, with a stronger focus on real-world cases than more conventional lecture-based planning theory and history courses at other schools. It also adds several opportunities to strengthen hands-on professional competencies, especially in communication.http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Urban-Studies-and-Planning/11-201Fall-2007/CourseHome/index.htmde Souza Briggs, Xavier2008-06-30T10:32:35-04:0011.201en-USUrban Studies and PlanningLand Use Planning and Management/Developmentvalues and ethicscities and societiespublic interestdiversityteamworkanalysiscity planningwise and fair interventioninterventionplanned changeplanning actionprofessional communicationapproaches to planninglimits of planningreal world casestheory and history of planningplanning in the public interestMIT OpenCourseWare http://ocw.mit.eduContent within individual OCW courses is (c) by the individual authors unless otherwise noted.
