In 2005, the Lincoln Institute sponsored a symposium at which both experienced practitioners and academics in the planning field sought to examine contemporary planning practice. Acknowledging recent arguments from academic planners that seemed to undermine the usefulness of plans per se, many in attendance argued that plans were still useful in particular ways. Presentations and discussions at the symposium led to significant reframing of these ideas, which gave rise to this book as a means to delve more deeply into issues around changing methods of planning analysis.
