  1. The potential of planning

  2. The potential of planning Are our planning laws (a system of land use and development regulation) a “tool for living within our limits”?

  3. Potential • Premised on rational decision making (rather than leaving things to the market). • Well established limitation of private property rights for greater common good • Geographically based, integrated regulation of land use change • Democratic potential – local government role and citizen participation • Strategic planning involves inquiry, foresight, long term policy horizons

  4.
