How to address market failures, look out for collective interests, and work toward greater equity and better conditions for disadvantaged residents are core tenets of planning practice. Urban planning research and practice also engages with public action and policy. Planning overlaps with geography when it examines the spaces of everyday life, spatial relationships among its different dimensions, and the processes that create them. Twentieth-century planning also increasingly drew on social scientific knowledge and practices, and by the century’s end urban planning research drew from and substantially contributed to geography, urban sociology, urban anthropology, and the broader urban and regional studies literatures. The profession stemmed from architecture and landscape architecture, municipal engineering, public health, and social reform efforts, and it developed a distinct identity in the 20th century.
Urban planning refers both to collective actions that shape and improve human settlements and to a profession or professions that developed to guide urban growth and improve the conditions of industrial cities.
