How would you plan a city where you know barely anyone really drives much anymore . Asking since I’m considering that if living expenses continue with callous ceaseless mess then what comparatively fewer youth abound couldn’t really afford to have vehicles to practice with even if they were impulsed to learn it— -_- not to mention elderly like persons who ought to really consider dropping the practice.
Some minimal amount of planning is necessary for a community to safely grow to avoid traffic and fire hazards, but people get famously irate about HOA rules like length of grass, minimum lawn decorations, etc. Where do you fall on the spectrum of how much planning is optimal?
Is there any way to (slowly or quickly) undo the damage done to allergy sufferers from the late 40s-early 50s urban planets deciding that cramming as many male trees together exclusively? Specifically referring to species like live oak which overproduce pollen when in an environment heavily pollinated by others if the same species? How do we get out of that feedback loop?
Urban planning seems to go through fads and fashions. The current fad seems to be making former malls and retail spaces mixed use in suburbs. This seems to receive a fair bit of venom from boomers unhappy about apartments near their homes. Being that apartments often start out AAA and then slide over time….do mixed use developments follow the same trend of decline?
What do they tell you at school regarding reacting to popular anti-planning sentiment stemming from social nudging? For example many urban planners try to increase transit use by decreasing required parking of developments which leads to nowhere to park in urban centers.

At current population growth rate in the world… How long do you think until Urban planning will begin exploring the concept of a Hive City.
Like Kowloon, but intentional.
What’s the best planned city?
How do you deal with people who don’t understand that cars are the least efficient way to travel in a city?

I have a background in environmental consulting, specifically water/septic. Any tips on how someone in my sector could break into your field?

What do you think is the biggest problem with our cities today? Where (generally) do you work?
Can you talk about a successful project you’ve worked on?
