This 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.
Host Brenna Clarke Gray (Thompson Rivers University) and guest Autumm Caines (University of Michigan - Dearborn) explore the pedagogical implications of generative AI in this conversation in honour of Open Education Week. They ask such questions as: - What happens when we leap into new technologies without first pausing to imagine harms, such as surveillance, bias, and discrimination? - Can recentering the core values of the open education movement—equity, inclusion, transparency, and social justice—in our pedagogy help us move forward in a good way? - How do we introduce these considerations to our students and empower them to make informed decisions with new technologies?
