Carolina Planning wishes to thank Ray Burby, Pat Coke, Asta Cooper, Bruce Egan, and the Center for Urban and Regional Studies. Planners by profession are inextricably linked to the political process. But how can practicing planners effectively Editor's manage the vagaries of that process and the at-times differing agenda of the elected body? In this issue Carolina Planning takes a broad look at politics and planning and the role of the planner. Note We begin with an interview of Harvey Gantl, 1990 Democratic candidate for the U.S. Senate. A politician- planner-architect, Gantt suggests that "Planners need to remain objective in a highly charged political environment." Lanier Blum "questions the goal of being objective," in our Perspectives section, and argues that "ambivalence about the proper professional role of the planner diminishes power." According to Blum, vision is an indispensable form of leadership; and planners help create and develop a community's vision. Robert C. Hinshaw emphasizes that breadth of vision, as well as a generalist background, are the hallmarks of planners in this age of specialization. Mary Joan Manley Pugh, former assistant secretary of the N.C. Department of Natural Resources and Community Development, asserts that planners are less effective if they are not leaders. She defines leadership in the profession and provides a simple methodology for activating latent leadership qualities in planners. Moreover, Charles G. Pattison believes that planners are ineffective if they do not integrate planning and the political process. John M. DeGrove illustrates the importance of integrating politics and planning in his article entitled "The Politics of Planning a Growth Managment System." Bipartisan political support, strong gubernatorial leadership, sustained citizen support, and new governance arrangements are among the key ingredients for a successful growth management system. Robert G. Paterson describes an example of new governance arrangements at the regional and local level in his article on the merger of the Durham City and County planning departments. Paul Norby, planning director of the new Durham City-County Planning Department, comments on the successes and failures of the process selected for merging the planning functions. The underlying themes of this issue stress the necessity for leadership ability and effective communication skills in the planning profession. Andy Sachs, coordinatorof the Public Disputes Program at the Orange County Dispute Settlement Center, provides guidelines on how planners and planning departments can sharpen their conflict resolution skills and develop an effective consensus-building capacity. Bill Holman charges environmentalists and planners to "forge coalitions" to lobby the NC General Assembly to pass more statewide planninglegislation. Also, Norma Burns emphasizes the importance of consensus-building among elected officialsand members of the design and development community. Picking up on the theme of "progressiveness" established in the interview with Gantt, Pierre Clavel defines a "progressive" city and provides a useful frame of reference for this much-used term. Clavel, like Gantt, describes the importance of bringing "profoundly opposing forces together to the bargaining table." Communication, leadership, and negotiating skills are indispensable if a planner is toeffectively implement plans and solutions in a political system. We hope these articles are provocative and instructive; we welcome your comments and suggestions. Trina Gauld Carolina Planning welcomes comments and suggestions on the articles published.

T. and was a lecturer in the UNC-ChapelHill Department ofCity and Regional Planning in the early 1970s. Carolina Planning conducted thefollowing interview in late 1989, justprior to Mr. Gantt's announcement that he would be a candidate for the U.S. Senate.

  • Tale of Two Mayors
    Race Relations in Boston: a Tale of Two Mayors, Raymond L. Flynn and Thomas M. Menino Ronda Jackson and Christopher Winship The Stuart Incident On October 23, 1989, Charles Stuart, a white, 30-year-old furrier, living in suburban Reading, Massachusetts, made a desperate 9-1-1 call to the Boston Police dispatcher. He reported that he had been shot. His wife, Carol Stuart, a lawyer, seven-months pregnant at the time, had also been shot, and was in the passenger’s seat next to him bleeding and unconscious. Though frightened and in shock, Stuart was able to provide some details of the crime. He told the dispatcher that he and his wife had just left a birthing class at a nearby hospital and gotten into their car parked near the Mission Hill housing project when a young black man in a hooded sweatshirt robbed and shot them both. The dispatcher stayed on the line with Stuart while police cruisers in the area found the Stuarts’ car and the two wounded victims.1 The Stuarts were rushed back to the same hospital where they had attended Lamaze class. Doctors performed an emergency c-section on Carol to remove the baby and, hopefully, save her life. Baby Christopher was put in the intensive care unit, but died 17 days later. Carol Stuart died six hours after the surgery. After giving police his account of the events, Charles Stuart was rushed into emergency surgery. He survived the surgery, but then went into a coma for several weeks after the shooting.2 Mayor Raymond Flynn and Police Commissioner Mickey Roache were immediately told of the shootings.

The event-filled weekend kicks off Saturday with a cattle fair~ sponsored by the Brighton Congregational Church with assistance from the Brighton Board of Trade.

Instead, the BBOT has provided banners for the fair and will sell large, colorful posters of Allston-Brighton, with the proceeds going to benefit the Church's 160th anniversary next year.

This trend, referred to as community unionism, challenges elites‘ narrow distribution of scarce public resources by fighting for community-driven reforms that advance the interests of broadly-shared prosperity (Tattersall, 2010; Reynolds, 1999). Using document analysis and semi-structured interviews, I analyze three broad- based community-labor coalitions that emerged in Los Angeles between 2000 and 2010 to understand how urban governance has changed – both as a result of the progressive community‘s recent coalition building efforts and as a result of the
