Skipulagsmál nútímans mynda sífellt flóknara kerfi sérsviða. Þessi nýja inngangsbók er fyrsta kennslubókin sem veitir bæði víðtækt yfirlit yfir helstu svið skipulagsmála og þá færni sem þarf til að samþætta sérþekkingu þeirra svo taka megi sjálfbærar og skilvirkar skipulagsákvarðanir. Þannig fá nemendur einstaka innsýn í raunveruleg störf skipulagsfræðinga í dag. Þeir þurfa þekkingu sem nær lengra en til sögu skipulagsákvarðana svo þeir geti samræmt ólíkar kröfur, allt frá fasteignaþróunarfélögum í spákaupmennsku til umhverfisverndarsinna.
Þetta nýja hlutverk, að samþætta ólík sérsvið, er kjarninn í nýstárlegri nálgun bókarinnar. Hún veitir nemendum þau verkfæri sem þarf til að sinna skipulagsstörfum, en nú á dögum felur það í sér að vera í senn sérfræðingur og alhliða fagmaður sem getur sameinað þekkingu af ólíkum sviðum. Skipulagsfræðingar þurfa nú að miðla með faglegum hætti milli ólíkra hagsmuna sem oft stangast á eða eru ósamrýmanlegir. Jafnframt starfa þeir sjálfir sem sérfræðingar, til dæmis á sviði menningarminja, samgangna, vistfræði, hagfræðilegs mats eða hönnunar.
Planning today is an increasingly complex system of specialisms, and this brand new introduction is the first textbook to offer both a broad overview of each core area in planning, alongside the skills necessary to combine each specialism in order to make sustainable and efficient planning decisions. In so doing, it gives students a unique glimpse into the realities of working in planning today. Planners need knowledge that goes beyond the history of planning decisions in order to reconcile competing demands, from corporate speculative property developers to environmental activists.
This new role – aggregating specialisms – is at the forefront of this innovative approach, equipping students with the tools necessary to do planning; which today means being both expert and generalist, specialist and synthesiser. Planners must now act as professional mediators of different (often conflicting or incompatible) interests. Planners are themselves working as specialists, whether that is in heritage, transport, ecology, economic assessment, or design.
