PLANNING EXPERIENCE

Urban and Regional Planning is such an interesting field to me because it affects everyone in their day to day life, especially at the local government level. It touches every discipline in the design field. The city beautiful may not be as prevalent as it once was, but planner's like myself now have ideals more closely aligned with advocacy planning.
