Book Review: The Trouble with City Planning: What New Orleans Can Teach Us

Africa, the book would have been stronger with a broader range of authors and more international approach. Also, far too many of the book’s chapters are relatively dry, abstract considerations of the topic, written in academic language that seems far removed from the practical realities of applying this concept. A more direct approach, dwelling more on specific classroom and university strategies, would have been welcome. Still, Sustainability Education is an important contribution to a discourse that is certain to grow rapidly in the years ahead. Planning programs should be at the center of this debate. The challenge is to rapidly develop and diffuse appropriate pedagogies and skills. A number of recent events, such as the mid2000s formation of the American Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education and the 2008 University of Pennsylvania symposium on Reimagining Cities: Urban Design After the Age of Oil have helped in this discussion. But much remains to be done, and I for one hope that the Association of Collegiate Schools of Planning and the Journal of Planning Education and Research will play central roles in this regard.
