Globalization poses new challenges for planning education. For this, a global, one-world approach to planning education is proposed using mutual learning and the comparative method. This is relevant for students with both domestic and international careers. A review of practitioners’ and educators’ views reveals broad support. However, small schools in particular have difficulty adopting this approach. The planning school at the University of Guelph is a work in progress about how such schools can do so. It has globalized despite small size and resource cutbacks. Challenges remain. Fitting adequate content into a two-year program is a struggle. North-south inequities undermine mutual learning. The global relevance of the approach is untested
