  • A Brief History of Women in the Department of City and Regional
    A BRIEF HISTORY OF WOMEN IN THE DEPARTMENT OF CITY AND REGIONAL PLANNING By Daisy Son Urban Studies, UC Berkeley May 2021 Sponsored by the Undergraduate Research Apprentice Program (URAP) Faculty Mentor: Elizabeth Deakin, Professor Emerita of City & Regional Planning BACKGROUND Women were an integral force in shaping today’s inclusive and welcoming environment within the UC Berkeley campus, especially in the Department of City and Regional Planning (DCRP). This project was launched as part of the Undergraduate Research Apprentice Program (URAP) in commemoration of the 150th year of women being admitted to Berkeley. Women were granted “regular” admission in 1872 and since then, countless women faculty, students, and staff have made exceptional contributions to the campus community and beyond. I had the pleasure to work under the supervision of Professor Emerita Elizabeth Deakin on putting together a history of women in the Department of City and Regional Planning (DCRP), which has never been documented before. This article highlights some of the important findings on how DCRP was shaped by incredible women and recognizes their work and accomplishments at DCRP. RESEARCH PROCESS We began by reviewing literature on women in academia and on DCRP (Farrell & Walker, 2015; Teitz, 2016). It was challenging to build a broad history of the department because there was limited documentation available to us, both because of COVID restrictions on access to stored materials and because of staff retirements from the department. An important resource was the department’s publication commemorating its 50th anniversary (1997-98), in which we found lists of faculty since the department’s inception through the publication date as well as a brief history of its early years (DCRP, 1998.) Staff members also provided assistance in preparing lists of faculty and students, and several emeriti faculty, men and women, who provided important insights about the department’s early years.

It in the planning debate, zoning can either is generally laden with verbiage that requires skilled deciphering and cross-referencing one's boon or bane. This issue on codes multiple levels of code, overlay zones, supplemental regulatory plans and design takes no position on the topic, but rather guidelines. In addition to development standards and guidance, these policies serve as highlights a few projects & perspectives on safeguards from legal challenges. This should not surprise anyone when you consider this regulatory tool used in nearly every that the first zoning code in 1916 was written by an attorney in Manhattan, New York, planning endeavor.
