Extractions: (One of The Margaret and Paul A. Johnston Professorships) A pioneer in the Department of City and Regional Planning, F. Stuart Chapin Jr. spent nearly four decades establishing and improving the department's urban studies curriculum. Chapin was born in Northampton, Mass., in 1916. He earned a B.A. from the University of Minnesota and two degrees in city planning from Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Chapin was a regional planner with the Tennessee Valley Authority and the director of planning for the city of Greensboro. He is an expert in the areas of urban growth, land development, human uses of city space and citizen participation in the planning process. Chapin joined UNC-CH in 1949. He conducted many studies for the federal government and was a member of the President's Task Force on Cities. He was the director of the urban studies program from 1957 until 1962, when he founded the department's Center for Urban and Regional Studies. He was the center's research director from its inception until his retirement in 1978. Shortly before he was named an Alumni Distinguished Professor in city and regional planning in 1969, he received the Distinguished Service Award from the American Institute of Planners. The same organization later presented him with its Historic Planning Pioneer Award. In 1992, Stuart Chapin and his wife, the former Mildred L. Canfield, established the F. Stuart Chapin Jr. and Mildred L. Chapin Endowment Fund. The fund supports the library in the Department of City and Regional Planning, which is named in Chapin's honor.

Because local governments employ the majority of urban and regional planners, they often are referred to as community, regional, or city planners. Planners examine proposed community facilities, such as schools, to be sure that these facilities will meet the changing demands placed upon them over time. They keep abreast of economic and legal issues involved in zoning codes, building codes, and environmental regulations. They ensure that builders and developers follow these codes and regulations. Planners also deal with land-use issues created by population movements. For example, as suburban growth and economic development create more new jobs outside cities, the need for public transportation that enables workers to get to those jobs increases. In response, planners develop transportation models and explain their details to planning boards and the general public.

Extractions: Urban, city, or town planning , deals with design of the built environment from the municipal and metropolitan perspective. Other professions deal in more detail with a smaller scale of development, namely architecture and urban design Regional planning deals with a still larger environment, at a less detailed level. The Greek Hippodamus is often considered the father of city planning, for his design of Miletus , though examples of planned cities permeate antiquity. Muslims are thought to have originated the idea of formal zoning (see haram and hima and the more general notion of khalifa , or "stewardship" from which they arise), although modern usage in the West largely dates from the ideas of the Congres Internationaux d'Architecture Moderne City planning embraces the organization, or conscious influencing, of land-use distribution in an area already built-up or intended to become built-up. edit The Indus Valley civilization is recognized as having been the first to develop urban planning.

Extractions: (D.O.T. 188.167-110 and 199.167-014) Urban and regional planners are often referred to as community or city planners because many are employed by local governments. They develop long and short-term land use plans to provide for growth and revitalization of urban, suburban, and rural communities, while helping local officials make decisions on social, economic, and environmental problems. Planners devise plans promoting the best use of a community's land and resources for residential, commercial, and recreational activities. Planners also are involved in various other planning activities, including social services, transportation, resource development, and the protection of ecologically sensitive regions.. They address issues such as traffic congestion, air pollution, and the effect of growth and change on an area. They may formulate capital improvement plans for the construction of new school buildings, public housing, or sewage systems. Planners are involved in environmental issues ranging from pollution control to wetland preservation, forest conservation, and the location of new landfills. Planners also may be involved with drafting legislation on social issues such as the needs of the elderly, sheltering the homeless, or meeting the demand for new correctional facilities. Planners examine proposed community facilities such as schools to be sure these facilities will meet the demands placed upon them over time by population growth. They keep abreast of the economic and legal issues involved in zoning codes, building codes, and environmental regulations. They ensure that builders and developers follow these codes and regulations. Planners also deal with land use and environmental issues created by population movements. For example, as suburban growth increases the need for traveling, some planners design new transportation systems and parking facilities.
