Energy Planning and City Planning
Submitted by Bhouck on Sat, 01/05/2008 - 16:32.
In the world of community planning, are energy planners and city planners completely different professions? And if they have been traditionally, as I suppose has been the case, will this always be true? I'm not trying to spark an overarching debate, just want to get some input. It seems that there is some push for alternative and community-owned means of energy production, what with Renewable Energy and Efficiency Portfolios and similar initiatives. So how will public planning offices be involved, if at all? Thank you.

These interconnections ratify for us the sense that markets are as strong as confidence is present and confidence is as justified as patterns are dependable. These are what might be called our community moorings: anchored, tangible patterns.

Energy Planning
The only information I have seen is Philip Millenbah's APA article on Community Energy Planning at http://www.norcalapa.org/ See the March 2008 edition. Also see his web site for cities: www.energy-planning.net

Energy Planning
CM,
Thanks for the response. I really would guess that these two professions would just cooperate by necessity. The planning would be left to the planners and all things energy left to the engineers and company shareholders. Maybe both parties serve different masters. Regardless, thanks. I was just accepted into urban planning grad school and this subject has crossed my mind several times....
