What We Must Never Forget: The Social Equity Obligations of Planners and Planning OfficialsRutgers University - Bloustein School of Planning and Public PolicyNew Brunswick, NJ Planners -- professional planners and elected and appointed official -- have a special and unique obligation to give voice to those who are structurally disenfranchised from participating in the state, substate regional, and local land use planning and regulatory process. Planners must give voice to those who are poor and need safe, clean and decent housing somewhere and everywhere. They must give voice to generations not yet born who will inherit the landscapes we shape, save and sometimes destroy today. Many other populations similarly need advocates. This session will detail those obligations, give examples of where the issues have been raised, review the applicable history and recent developments in New Jersey, and offer the perspective of a planner and lawyer on what all planners can and must do.
The annual Isadore Candeub Memorial Lecture at the Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy, Rutgers University was established in the memory of Isadore Candeub in tribute to his long and successful career as a planning consultant and to his extraordinary dedication to planning in towns, cities and regions across America. Before his passing in 1986 he was chairman of the executive committee of Candeub, Fleissig & Associates, consultants in community development and environmental planning. Mr. Candeub, with Morris B. Fleissig, a lawyer, founded the firm in Newark in 1953. Earlier he had spent 20 months in the Federal Government as chief planner for the Northeastern region of the Housing and Home Finance Agency, precursor of the Department of Housing and Urban Development. He was a 1943 graduate of the City College of New York; did graduate work at Columbia University and received a master's degree in 1948 from the School of Architecture and City Planning of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
