Planning Decades
Functional Plan Knowledge: Planning Decades, AICP Nov 2022 Test
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Decade One: 1909-1919 | The first decade of planning literature set the foundation for how the field of planning would define itself and how the emerging professional planners would stake their claim. |
| Decade Two: 1920 to 1929 | Planning's complexity began to reveal itself as architects, landscape architects, economists, and sociologists contributed to the practice and definition of the profession. |
| Decade Three: 1930 to 1939 | The Depression shifted the focus of planning. Some planners took up the cause of adequate housing, and the federal government emerged as a driving force in new towns and national infrastructure. |
| Decade Four: 1940 to 1949 | World War II consumed Americans throughout this period. The federal government's role in planning began to weaken and new attitudes began to emerge. |
| Decade Five: 1950 to 1959 | A golden age for planning, this timeframe also left a legacy that planning has been reacting to ever since. Building, boom times, and the codification of education for planners were hallmarks of the era. |
| Decade Six: 1960 to 1969 | Planning had become so well established that first critiques emerged in this decade. Planning's history captured the interest of both professionals and the general public. |
| Decade Seven: 1970 to 1979 | Planners discovered the value of the unplanned. Authors presented more nuanced assessments of planning while others offered increasingly sophisticated techniques and tools. |
| Decade Eight: 1980 to 1989 | Authors demonstrate the comprehensiveness of planning. Urban design takes hold again as prolific authors and practitioners demonstrate the importance of public space, streets, and physical forms. |
| Decade Nine: 1990 to 1999 | A new golden age emerges — at least for the publication of planning books. Several new concepts catch hold with the public and the profession such as sustainability and livability. |
| Decade Ten: 2000 to 2009 | Planners take a new look at transportation and the form of communities inspired by creative and critical thinking. |
