Types of planning Various types of planning have emerged over the course of the 20th century. Below are the six main typologies of planning, as defined by David Walters in his book, Designing Communities (2007): Traditional or comprehensive planning : Common in the US after WWII, characterized by politically neutral experts with a rational view of the new urban development. Focused on producing clear statements about the form and content of new development. Systems planning : 1950s–1970s, resulting from the failure of comprehensive planning to deal with the unforeseen growth of post WWII America. More analytical view of the planning area as a set of complex processes, less interested in a physical plan. Democratic planning : 1960s. Result of societal loosening of class and race barriers. Gave more citizens a voice in planning for future of community. Advocacy and equity planning : 1960s & 70s. Strands of democratic planning that sought specifically to address social issues of inequality and injustice in community planning. Strategic planning : 1960s-present. Recognizes small-scale objectives and pragmatic real-world constraints. Environmental planning : 1960s-present. Developed as many of the ecological and social implications of global development
