Abstract
Global megatrends including economic restructuring, migration, and environmental degradation have profoundly transformed planning practice; this reality needs to be reflected in planning education. To this end, a content analysis of sixty-nine planning syllabi was conducted to identify how and to what extent global themes are being included. The analysis highlighted the interdisciplinary nature of globalized planning pedagogy and the greater emphasis on planning theory and history and economic development. The courses were clustered according to common themes, and these are discussed as they relate to planning practice. Noteworthy pedagogical approaches are highlighted.Keywords
