To wrap up 2015, Planetizen presented it’s annual list of top planning trends. The list is a mix of frequently contradicting technical and societal trends. They include the antithetical phenomena of non-peak driving and vision zero, as well as broader societal trends, like urbanism’s rise in pop culture, countered by its omission as an issue in US presidential debates. Equally interesting, this years list was largely based on the personal selection of trends, rather than aggregated data, as in 2014. Could this be a trend towards re-balancing qualitative and quantitative analysis in urbanism? What would you include on this list?
