The scope of environmental planning has expanded significantly in recent decades beyond its initial focus on wilderness preservation or environmental impact management. It includes planning for climate change adaptation, resiliency, disaster recovery, and transitions to a just green economy. However, the profession grapples with enduring problems like planning for green spaces in marginalized communities, developing and retrofitting infrastructure for clean water provision, stormwater management, and waste disposal, addressing pollution and hazardous waste disposal and preventing sprawl. In addition, global interconnections have complicated the scope of problems that must be addressed and created opportunities for learning and cooperation across contexts. This course introduces students to key concepts, issues, tools, practices, and controversies in environmental planning in the North American context with examples, comparisons, and interconnections drawn from international cases in selected modules. Through course materials, students will confront planning's culpability in contributing to environmental racism and learn about radical alternatives that propose just and transformative change. The course largely focuses on urban regions, but we will critically approach issues and corresponding solutions to question their possibilities and limits in a global, interconnected world confronting the growing impacts of climate change. This course actively centers on the aims of the Graduate Planning Program Mission. It enables students to examine the tensions and synergies between theory and practice in the subfield of environmental planning. It also equips students to develop planning ideas that envision "sustainable, accessible, beautiful, and just" places.
