Planners tend to think and work at the scale of the neighborhood and city. We argue that a wider analytical lens focusing on extralocal economic forces—specifically, growing inequality between regions—is essential to understanding contemporary urban problems. The growth of interregional inequality is stimulating a national dialogue on place-based policies that would benefit substantially from planning expertise. We point to three ways that planning can, and should, shape this conversation: 1) by applying a truly place-based approach; 2) by advocating for a multiscalar lens in addressing spatial inequality; and 3) by advancing holistic models of development
