LAND USE PLANNING

Most planners are involved in this, the most traditional kind of planning practice. At the same time, there are many different kinds of land use planning jobs. Some land use planners develop ways to encourage growth or development in certain communities or along appropriate corridors while others work to discourage growth in environmentally sensitive areas or where supporting services cannot be effectively provided. Some land use planners work on long-range comprehensive plans which are designed to coordinate all the important activities in which a community engages–housing, recreation, transportation, water and air quality, and so forth. Some land use planners help develop or administer local regulations which establish the kind of housing, industrial, and retail facilities which can be built in the city. Others develop ways to finance public services while still other land use planners evaluate the impact of proposed residential or commercial development and suggest ways for communities to respond. Many land use planners coordinate their activities with other kinds of planners in order to protect open space and agricultural land in the face of increasing demands for new homes and businesses.

ENVIRONMENTAL PLANNING

Environmental planners work to enhance the physical environment and minimize the adverse impacts of development. Some environmental planners focus on scientific and technical questions while others develop policies and programs to encourage the public to protect natural resources. Some planners develop expertise in one aspect of resource management while others attempt to identify the environmental implications of a range of government polices or proposed land use changes. Some environmental planners focus on cleaning up polluted areas or resources while others focus on preventing contamination and the destruction of ecosystems. Many environmental planners work to integrate a concern about pollution and the conservation of non-renewable resources into the plans developed in other substantive areas like transportation or economic development.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PLANNING

Economic development planners, in North America and internationally, work to
improve a community or region by expanding and diversifying the economic
activities which support the families which live there. Many planners do so by
helping develop plans to attract businesses which create new jobs and provide
additional tax revenues; others work to keep businesses from leaving distressed areas. Economic development planners at the local level often work to promote the special features of their community, sometimes by encouraging tourism or additional recreational opportunities. Some planners develop projects which bring housing and commercial enterprises, as well as jobs, into disadvantaged neighborhoods. Some economic development planners help communities find ways to finance the cost of new development while others work to overcome regulatory and other barriers to new projects. Economic development planners often work in conjunction with land use, housing, social and community planners to address the needs of distressed communities or declining business districts.

TRANSPORTATION PLANNING

Transportation planners help develop programs to meet the current transportation needs of families and businesses, locally and across a region; they also attempt to predict future travel patterns in order to identify the need for additional transportation services and facilities. Some transportation planners are very technically oriented and work with advanced computer technology; others deal with the social and economic aspects of travel. Some focus on one mode such as cycling or public transit while others attempt to plan for multiple modes. Transportation planners working for local governments often respond to traffic congestion; others develop ways to finance new facilities. Some transportation planers help develop programs which are designed to encourage people to drive less, or which provide home-to-work options for welfare recipients trying to find jobs, or which organize special transportation services for the elderly. Many transportation planners coordinate their activities with environmental, land use, and economic development planners.

HOUSING, SOCIAL, AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PLANNING

Many planners practice in these overlapping areas. Housing planners help develop strategies to increase the supply of affordable housing and expand home ownership among low income or disadvantaged groups. These planners often try to create incentives and remove constraints on private home builders or work with public or non-profit organizations to build housing units for low income families or senior citizens. Many housing planners try to encourage mixed use developments which offer services and jobs close to where people live; others promote projects which provide housing opportunities for people from a mixture of income levels. Planners concerned with the social aspects of a community often combine their interest in housing with efforts to increase the overall quality of life in poor or minority neighborhoods. Many social and community planners work to improve multiple aspects of a targeted neighborhood, combining many substantive planning skills from economic development to urban design. For example, community and social
planners may work to improve transit service in disadvantaged communities or
develop job training programs for unemployed residents or provide better public
health facilities in low income neighborhoods. These planners often work with
land use and transportation planners.
