International Comparative Planning

authored by
Frank Othengrafen, Daniel Galland
Abstract

The planning profession in each country is subject to specific national and local legal frameworks; yet cities, nations, and regions are highly interdependent. International comparative planning thus has the potential to broaden students’ understanding of planning contexts and interdependency, but courses that incorporate international comparisons are generally few in number, and the conceptual and practical knowledge on teaching methods for comparative planning is fragmented and rudimentary. This chapter explains how planning educators can use international comparative frameworks to best achieve their teaching goals, namely to prepare graduating planners with practical planning skills and an increased ability to find innovative yet context-sensitive and practical solutions to the problems they face.
