“Town planners are taught along the lines of a technical profession,” he says. “But in fact the best educational training is probably something like politics, along with expertise in the softer skills of negotiation, partnership building and group decision making.” Professor Andy Pratt, an economic geographer at City University
“[Planners] training and practice too often leaves them able to communicate effectively only with other planners and professionals, working in an abstract language that alienates them from people.” David Knight, academic, writer and director of the architecture practice DK-CM
