Planning Practice & Research, 2024, vol. 39, issue 2, 257-276

Abstract: This paper reports findings from a survey of public-sector urban planners in India. The survey attempts to gauge planners’ opinions on the importance of planning values in everyday decisions and the degree to which these values are delivered in practice. In-depth interviews were used to validate the survey results and investigate themes further. The study presents a nuanced and contextualized analysis of the attitudes and mindsets of planners. It is expected that the study will initiate a discourse on planning values in India and encourage planners to confront the full implications of their decisions.
