CASE STUDY: HISTORICAL CONTEXT OF AMERICAN URBAN PLANNING ASSIGNMENT INSTRUCTIONS
OVERVIEW
This case study assignment is designed to test your ability to conduct effective research, gain a
nuanced understanding of complex concepts, synthesize the ideas reflected in your research with
those reflected in your required readings, and to evaluate and apply these ideas to an issue of
urban planning.
INSTRUCTIONS
For this Case Study, you will first describe and analyze two planning theories. Identify the
weakness of each theory from the readings and your own research (A weakness is a lack of
conceptual rigor of the theory; how good a fit is it to reality. Find ways the theory does not fit
reality or does not fit reality very well). Outline the potential problems with each theory (A
problem is an impact(s) that probably will occur because of weakness of the theory (i.e., does not
fit reality or does not fit reality very well). Problems are the impacts caused by, or associated
with, the weaknesses). Recommend solutions to each theory discussed. Determine a biblical
viewpoint concerning planning. Please use scriipture to support the position. Integrate Biblical
verses rather than at the end of the paper. Items to include are outlined as follows:
