What is urban planning?
2
That's a simple question, but it has a complicated answer.
3
The word plan is fairly common in the English language.
4
If you ask somebody about their plans for the weekend, for instance, you can expect an answer in reply, even if that person you asked hadn't planned a response.
5
A different kind of planning, frequently discussed in the news and government, is a lot harder to describe.
6
You've probably heard some
7
or all of these terms used before urban planning community planning
8
city planning regional planning there are also climate action plans capital investment plans transportation plans
9
and strategic plans there are
10
so many kinds of plans it can be hard to tell them apart it gets even more confusing
11
when engineers architects or politicians not planners are making some of those plans it's okay
12
if your understanding of planning drops off somewhere between weekend plans
13
and urban plans I'm here to help
14
so what is urban planning there is a specific professional field
15
known as planning you can get a degree in planning
16
and they get hired to a job as a planner planners can get professionally certified
17
and earn a graduate degree in planning professional planners spend their days writing
18
and implementing plans so let's say
19
that one of the definitions of planning is work done by planners but that's obviously a bit too simplistic
20
All of these varieties of planning have one thing in common, preparing for the future.
21
Other professions do it too, but preparing for the future is the primary motivation of urban planners.
22
How will people get around in the future?
23
Where will people live and work in the future?
24
How will all of the systems required to support those people, electrical grids, sewers, and the water supply, fit into the city?
25
These are all questions that planners are working to answer using tools and policies specific to the field of planning.
26
The numerous considerations raised by those questions again reintroduce the possibility of architects, engineers, and politicians doing some of the planning.
27
So where does urban planning fit in all these different kinds of planning?
28
The complexity of planning for the future creates a need for an intermediary between different communities and related professional fields,
29
and their fundamental intersectionality is one of the ways that urban planners distinguish themselves from these other professions.
30
You'll often hear planners say that they are professional generalists or that they wear many hats.
31
Planners are like a Swiss army knife in the city building process, which is another reason planners are sometimes confused with engineers, architects, or politicians.
32
Given their flexibility, another one of the most important roles for planners is engaging with the public.
33
Planning for the future in today's complex world means addressing the hopes and ambitions of a diverse collection of humans,
34
workers of all varieties, residents who live in all sorts of homes and in all kinds of household arrangements, and communities and cultures originating from all over the world.
35
Planners are the first to gather feedback from the public to inform a comprehensive vision of the future.
36
The next step in the planning process is synthesizing all
37
that information and communicating a vision of the future for approval by a governing body, like a city council or a county board of supervisors.
38
The approval process can be intensely political, so planning is also fundamentally political.
39
In many cities, planners will also manage the implementation of that approved vision by enforcing the legal tools of planning, usually known as zoning codes.
40
There is a clear distinction between the process of planning for a city's future and the process of implementing that vision,
41
but planners will be involved in both to ensure the city evolves as planned.
42
Another way to understand planning is by studying the way the field has changed throughout history
43
and how that evolution is reflected in the world of today.
44
A few men from history had the opportunity to plan cities from scratch, like Pierre -Charles L 'Enfant in Washington DC,
45
Daniel Burnham in Chicago, or George Eugene Hausman in Paris.
46
Other very powerful men from the 20th century, like Robert Moses and Le Corbusier, transformed entire neighborhoods and cities to fit their preferred model.
47
And yes, in the past it was mostly men doing the planning.
48
After zoning codes gained popularity in the early 20th century, planners began to focus almost entirely on land use,
49
and planning began to mean the process of deciding where to locate residential office retail
50
and industrial uses in new
51
and existing cities the desire to separate residential uses from noxious
52
industrial uses enabled by the mass production of the automobile
53
and a massive government program to build interstate highways represents a significant step toward creating the mostly suburban
54
and sprawling country we live in today in the 21st century planning is much more grassroots
55
and orientation inspired by the writings of jane Jacobs,
56
among others, and enshrined in legal and political tools designed to protect the interests and values of local residents, businesses, and communities.
57
the term urban planning rather than city planning has become more
58
popular as the public has taken a renewed interest in cities
59
and as the environmental
60
and economic consequences of the 20th century model of planning have
61
become apparent to this day numerous debates contest the future of urban planning
62
and planning continues to evolve as a result big questions will
63
determine the kinds of values embedded in contemporary plans like how to address climate change and housing affordability,
64
how to overcome a long history of racist and discriminatory regulatory practices, and how much planners should regulate the form of buildings, not just the use of land.
65
The answers to those questions will shape the world of the mid - and long -term future.
66
So what are your plans?

シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由
シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
