What Does the Job Market Want From Planners? Using Online Job Descriptions to Measure the Demand for Planning Skills Identity
More than Analytics
In the last two decades, a variety of digital technologies have proliferated in cities. Urban planning educators must respond to this given local resources, constraints, and options. This commentary reviews curricular innovations being undertaken by planning faculty at five diverse institutions to advance pedagogy beyond analytics. Our contribution is to identify three general approaches to expand teaching on digital technologies: (1) undertake r…
The Built Environment and Predicting Child Maltreatment
An estimated one third of children in the United States will suffer from maltreatment. The use of spatial predictive analytics offers an opportunity to delineate places at elevated risk of child abuse. Risk terrain modeling is a spatial analytic framework for predicting instances of varied types of crime. This article compares a random forest negative binomial model in a risk terrain modeling framework to the question of predicting counts of subs…
Time to Upgrade Our Tools
Urban data science (UDS) is developing rapidly and starting to be widely adopted in urban planning research and curricula. However, economic development planners have been relatively slow in introducing UDS into their toolkits. This reality is a disservice to the subfield and students. This article discusses the motivation and current practices of UDS in economic development, identifies successes and challenges, and suggests actions moving forwar…
Pursuing Equity and Justice in a Changing Climate
Despite interest in the importance of social equity to sustainability, there is concern that equity is often left behind in practice relative to environmental and economic imperatives. We analyze recent climate and sustainability action plans from a sample of twenty-eight medium and large U.S. cities, finding that few made social equity a prominent goal of their plans, although there is a discernible trend in this direction. We present case studi…
Uneven development of the sustainable city
Portland, Oregon, is renowned as a paradigmatic “sustainable city.” Yet, despite popular conceptions of the city as a progressive ecotopia and the accolades of planners seeking to emulate its innovations, Portland’s sustainability successes are inequitably distributed. Drawing on census data, popular media, newspaper archives, city planning documents, and secondary source histories, we attempt to elucidate the structural origins of Portland’s “un…
