Education In Mexico

This analysis sheds light on planning education in Mexico. One important question that the paper addresses is: Are planning programs forming professionals capable of addressing the challenges that cities and regions face in the twenty-first century? The study draws upon a content analysis of 253 course syllabi and a database of 128 employed local planners. The results of the analysis suggest that planning curricula are still very much embedded in the rational model and there is a challenge for strengthening the curricula with more communicative skills that are valuable in a postmodern society.

The Islamisation of the town planning education in Malaysia especially in the Department of Urban and Regional Planning, Kulliyyah of Architecture and Environmental Design, International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM) could successfully be materialized via the smart team-teaching approach where lecturers from the town planning Department collaborate with their counterpart in the Islamic studies Kulliyyah. This paper reports a desk study on the status of Islamic inputs in the current town planning course content. Out of 140 credit hours of town planning core courses and University required courses, it was found that 34% have already embodied Islamic-related topics whilst the remaining 66% were silent. Enhancements via compatible Islamic inputs to strengthen the existing curricula need to be done for the former while for the latter new Islamic inputs need to be incorporated. This paper reiterates that the epistemological and methodological approach combined is the way forward for sustainable education.

State Of Affairs

In this paper I argue that the debate about urban and regional planning is polarised into two competing ‘discourses’ of town planning and political economy. I assert that the language and concepts of town planning continue to take precedence in both the field of practice and in teaching and research and that this is a most unsatisfactory state of affairs. Town planners relegate urban and regional political economy to the periphery and place town planning at the centre. This is a conservative situation in that most town planning education places great emphasis on plans and very little on ‘how cities and regions work’. I recommend the abandonment of ‘planning’ education in favour of spatial political economy which might sit easiest in human geography.
