“…Physical planning has spawned new, overlapping specializations that are entirely distinct from those engendered by social planning (Figure 2). As Patton (1989) previously found, the majority of specializations cluster in the tightly linked physical planning themes of Transportation, Land Use, and Environmental Planning (Figure 2). The disciplinary theme of GIS overlaps with Transportation and Land Use, presumably due to its powerful visual analytics for predicting spatial processes ( Figure 2).…”

“…There are sixty-five themes mentioned only once in specialization titles. This approach differs from earlier studies (Patton 1989;Pivo 1989) by focusing on themes within program titles, not precoding each offering as one specialization to be tallied. To limit bias from grouping specializations together into categories, we present nominal data.…”

“…In 1984, a total of 397 named specializations were being offered by seventy-three schools (Patton 1989). In 1988, 530 named specializations were being offered by eighty-seven schools (Patton 1989). Today, 332 specializations, containing 129 themes, are offered by seventy-six schools.…”

“…A focused burst of interest in planning specializations began in the late 1980s (Patton 1989;Pivo 1989) following what the outgoing Association of Collegiate Schools of Planning president termed a "crisis in the profession of city and regional planning" (Sawicki 1988). The Reagan administration broadly eliminated federal support for regional and local government planning jobs and social science research.…”

To understand the creation and propagation of knowledge in planning, this research provides the first look at planning specialization development. In assessing planning's educational response to internal expertise, federal mandates, and historic precedents, we queried the seventy-six accredited planning schools on the evolution of concentrations and certificates offered from 1950 to the present day. We identify pedagogical trends by following the arc of program creation and retirement, intersectionality, and prevalence. Drawing parallels from the most well-established subfields of social and physical planning, this paper offers recommendations for formalizing new knowledge, such as food systems planning. We conclude with the observation that continued innovation and diversity of specializations is a key to planning's resilience at the nexus of an everevolving constellation of fields.

Architecture and Planning: The Divergence of Two Fields

Many universities are engaged in strategic planning. A natural part of that process for a college that contains architecture and planning is the reconsideration of the administrative structure and the respective roles of each within the university. As part of such an exercise, we reevaluated the rationale for locating planning and architecture in the same unit. This paper is a result of that endeavor. We begin by inventorying the current administrative homes of the accredited programs of architecture and planning and then explore both the disciplinary and the administrative reasons for the obvious tensions between the two fields. We conclude that the disciplines have become radically different and continue to reside together only for pragmatic reasons. Finally, we suggest the beginnings of a new common discourse which may be of value to each of the disciplines, their respective professions, and the city which both disciplines profess to serve. Richard Dagenhart is Associate Professor of Planning and architecture, as disciplines and professions, claim the city as a subject of both scholarly and practical influence. Both recognize the city as a conceptual representation of &dquo;civitas&dquo; and &dquo;urbs,&dquo; citizens and stones, although their perspectives on these two attributes are often in conflict. The two professions are historically joined, most clearly through the formation of the landscape architecture profession in the late 19th century. However, the differences between them can be traced to classical Greece: Hippodamus of Miletus, the planner and political theorist described in Aristotle's Politics, and Daedalus, the legendary architect of the Minotaur's labyrinth, the ancient symbol of exclusion and protection of the private realm from both human and divine invasion (Kostof 1977;Rykwert 1988). In more contemporary and pragmatic terms, the disciplines of planning and architecture are necessarily related because of their frequent location in the same administrative units in colleges and universities in the U.S. A common ground between the two fields is broadly assumed to exist even if it is perhaps largely mythical, historically distant, or administratively uncomfortable.The separations between planning and architecture, and planners and architects, are currently far more obvious and remarkable than their historic similarities. The outward manifestations of the separation have been frequently described as lists of dualities (Boyer 1990) or as blunt and sometimes insulting oppositions, as found in widely circulated cartoons, with one discipline benefitting at the expense of the other. Either in city hall or in the university, the absence of a common discourse between the two related fields is clear.Our intention in this paper is to probe for the possible reasons for the radical divergence of two fields that are conceptually, historically, professionally, and academically related. We also wish to provoke, with the hope of stimulating a new common discourse between the fields. In doing so, we will try t...
