WHAT YOUR PLANNING PROFESSORS
FORGOT TO TELL YOU

 
 
What does an urban planner need most?  A sense of humor!  Peripatetic planner Paul C. Zucker proves it in his wise and funny new book What Your Planning Professors Forgot to Tell You­ 117 Lessons Every Planner Should Know.    

Zucker knows a good story when he's lived one and he shares a career's worth in this collection.  It's a tongue-in-cheek primer on how planning really works (or doesn't).  His wry observations ring absolutely true on every page.  Practicing planners will nod in rueful agreement with lessons­ often learned the hard way­ about achieving true success in planning and in life.  And those just starting out will benefit from Zucker's insights about management, vision, career paths, and professional relationships.
