is committed to identifying and publishing insightful scholarly
research with a critical approach. As one of the cores of intellectual

lectures, exhibitions, film screenings, and symposia—extend this work
to audiences in Los Angeles and beyond. Critical Planning reaches an
international subscriber base of urban planning scholars, students,
practitioners, libraries, bookstores, and enthusiasts. The current
edition of Critical Planning, volume 16, is entitled “Urban
Restructuring: Process and Action.”
