Introducing Planning Concepts to Nonplanners

This audio explores how nonplanners can navigate, and hold planners accountable for, the use of jargon and overly-technical language in the planning profession. The speaker urges planners to aim their language to a nonplanning audience, especially planning documents intended to be available publicly. She also expresses the need for planners to strive for measurable outcomes and implementation.
