Advocacy planning

摘要: Advocacy planning emerged as a normative perspective on planning in the US in the 1960s, mostly associated with the names of Paul Davidoff and Linda Davidoff. The basic idea is that in the complex systems of planning and governance of the US, and by extension other developed countries, inequalities persist and that many communities are not well served by these planning and governance systems. Nor are they able to speak and lobby for themselves, as navigating those systems takes time, knowledge and connections. In the US context, this was and often is a matter of race, not only class, and it is a matter of administrations defining common goods together with private sector interests and well-connected groups.
