Abstract
The largely unexplored linkages between comprehensive planning and racism are examined in the light of the two major types of racism—individual and institutional. Examples are drawn from Model Cities programs and comprehensive plans for Chicago, Boston, and Washington to illustrate the ineffectiveness of most standard planning techniques in the face of institutional racism. Advocacy planning is seen as a useful approach, especially in terms of political power and accountability.Keywords
