No longer offered. It’s in Waterloo’s scanned calendars from 1994–95 to 1994–95 (before that, 1988–89 to 1993–94 used the number for Participatory Planning); the 1995–96 to 2023–24 calendars are on ucalendar.
This course will look at some basic social features of society which planners need to understand in order to work effectively. These features will include: culture, participation in the political and planning processes, socialization, stratification, gender relations, the family, race and ethnicity, bureaucracy and organizations, social movements, and social change. Each feature will be discussed along with how planners can use this knowledge.
As printed in the 1994–95 calendar, read by OCR; the scanned page is the original. Later calendars (1995–96 on) aren’t on uwloo.

Another title: Participatory Planning, probably a different course under the same number (or a misread scan).
An introduction to types of participatory planning initiated either by planners or by citizens’ groups and directed toward changing built and natural environments. Concepts such as individualism, class, family, ethnicity and community are introduced in order to show how they relate to environmental attitudes and behaviour. Prereq: Planning students only
