“…More recently, both Baum (1983a, 295) and Bryson (1983,245) sought to address the tremendous imbalance between the voluminous normative and meager empirical literature about planning. Articles appear calling for better connections between theory and practice, academics and practitioners (de Neufville 1983;Krumholz 1986;Mier 1986;Krumholz and Mier 1987).

Studies of planning practice can be organized into a typology according to their substantive focus and research method. Case studies of planning situations and surveys of planners and planning agencies have been published for over twenty years. Further, studies appeared in the late 1960s and 1970s of how planning directors assess their roles and how public planning agencies work. However, interpretations of social interaction, organizational relationships, and political behavior represent a new way of exploring planning practice. This article notes that the findings of the studies reviewed could be made more accessible to practitioners and synthesized into theories of practice. Ltnda C.

Her teaching and research interests include planmng theory, planning prachce, political and organizational aspects of planning, and plan implementation.

“…This important research should not be concentrated in a course in planning theory, but diffused in classes and workshops in action research (Krumholz 1986;Mier 1986), alternative dispute resolution (Barton 1984;Rabinovitz 1989;Susskind and Ozawa 1984), and communication techniques (Lusk and Kantrowitz 1990). Much planning theory deals, for example, with citizen participation, with mediation, and with communication.…”
