For some, the huge gap between the power they thought they would have and what they actually do is not only worrying, but also deeply discouraging. But for some others, practice means finding practical and creative solutions to overcome challenges and complexities. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHow do young planners in different settings respond to seemingly similar situations like these? What do they do - give up, adjust, or fight back? What role did their planning education play, and could it have helped in preparing and assisting them to respond to the world they are encountering? \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn this edited volume, stories of young planners from sixteen countries that engage these questions are presented. The sixteen cases range from settings with older, established planning systems (e.g., USA, the Netherlands, and the UK) to settings where the system is less set (e.g., Brazil), being remodeled (e.g., South Africa and Bosnia Herzegovina), and under stress (e.g., Turkey and Poland). Each chapter explores what might be done differently to prepare young planners for the complexities and challenges of their 'real worlds'. This book not only points out what is absent, but also offers planning educators an alternative vision.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe editors and esteemed contributors provide reflections and suggestions as to how this new generation of young planners can be supported to survive in, embrace, and change the world they are encountering, and, in the spirit of planning, endeavor to 'change it for the better'. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tuna Taşan-Kok\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138847356\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138847354\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/05\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 326\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.09lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.74d","brand":"Tuna Ta\u0026#351;an-Kok","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44063782371583,"sku":"9781138847354","price":68.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4eb1d084-0b6b-4305-b066-7f739892edc0.jpg?v=1685391617","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/from-student-to-urban-planner-tuna-taan-kok-9781138847354","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
