The third episode of Planning Ideas that Matter, a podcast built upon faculty debates held in the Department of Urban Studies and Planning at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The Fall 2017 debates fall under the broad heading - Urban Science: Regression to Technocracy or Pathway to Progressive Planning?

In the first three episodes we will explore three faculty members' working definition of urban planning and how the nascent field of urban science compliments, amplifies, and challenges pressing concerns in the field of urban planning.
