FACING 21ST-CENTURY CHALLENGES
The November issue of Planning highlights American planners' efforts to prepare their communities for 21st-century challenges. In the West, they work with water managers to realign the region's vast network of dams, reservoirs, and irrigation canals with rising temperatures and declining precipitation. Nationwide, planners, architects, and landscape architects integrate good design and protective features in buildings and public spaces that could be targets for crime and violence.
