Catherine Bauer and Mel Webber
The paper has two parts. The first surveys Bauer's trajectory from her arrival at Berkeley in 1940, through her time at Harvard and return to Berkeley in 1950. This section situates her work with Webber in the context of the interactive evolution of Department of City and Regional Planning (DCRP) at Berkeley and similar initiatives at Harvard and MIT, an important era in modern planning education. Part two starts with Webber's arrival at Berkeley…
The Politics of Implementation
This article examines how the public and private sector negotiate implementation of a controversial public policy, Oregon’s Transportation Planning Rule. The Rule, adopted in 1991, originally called for all localities to create plans in compliance with goals of a 20 percent decrease in vehicle miles traveled and a 10 percent decrease in parking spaces over a 30-year period, which has presented a challenge to policy actors. This article places the…

Oregon's pioneering land use system is nationally recognized and serves as a valuable model and benchmark for other states. This volume examines the Oregon system, describes its strengths and weaknesses, and gives recommendations for the future
The Evolution of Federal Transit Policy
The first major piece of national transit legislation was enacted in 1964. By 1969 the Urban Mass Transportation Administration was the subject of a highly critical analysis by staff investigators for a Congressional Appropriations Committee, and in the early 1970s industry analysts sharply critiqued the rationality of urban transit policy in general. In 1981 the Comptroller General of the U.S. reported to Congress that the demand for transit sub…
Gender and Space
The Transformation of the Pacific Electric Railway
In his account of the motorization of transit in Los Angeles, Bradford Snell focused on industry-based interest group politics and on modal conflict. These obscure the politicization of transport issues at the metropolitan level. Competition between place-based coalitions to attract and retain mobile capital investment structured not only urban transport politics but also controversial efforts to create governmental transit agencies. In this arti…
Infrastructure Politics
Analyzes the efforts to deal with the San Francisco Bay Bridge controversy, 1945-59, to develop a theory of the politics of transport infrastructure projects by studying the influence of urban rivalry and the circumstances that allow political stalemates to be broken
The New Information Technology and the Structure of Planning Practice
This paper reports on the development and implementation of two computer-based planning and information systems in a large land use planning department. Contextual features, including: a legal challenge to prevailing pro-growth politics, related crises in infrastructure finance and departmental productivity and legitimacy, and the historically weak position of the planning agency in relation to its major co- participants in the land development p…
