Volume 20: The future
Milestone anniversaries represent opportunities both to reflect on the past and to look toward the future. In selecting our theme for the twentieth volume of Critical Planning, we emphasized the latter approach: we sought out perspectives on the future of urban planning. The articles, essays, and interviews selected for inclusion in this volume discuss a wide variety of forces that will shape not only the cities of the future, but the planners who seek to guide them.
