PAS report 582
This PAS Report examines management issues for local government planning, especially management trends. Most planning managers are already leading, responding to, or at least considering most of these trends. The focus of this report is on key issues and management trends to help managers, planners, and students think strategically.
Planning, project reviews and approvals, and plan implementation often receive public notice, acclaim, and criticism. Management issues, on the other hand, tend to make news only when a new planning director is hired or an
old one is fired; when allegations of corruption emerge; or
perhaps when a mayor, city manager, or county supervisor
proposes a major reorganization or budget. Generally, the
public view of management issues is obscured by substantive planning issues, as it should be.
Although the general
public may not follow management issues, they may be as
important as substantive planning issues for many municipal and county planning managers, line planners, and public users of planning services.
