Abstract
Public participation in community and regional planning is both imperative and problematic. Recent statistics reveal that the percentage of public participation in US planning is diminutive, as only 16% of Americans say they have been engaged in planning efforts (Farmer, Aug-Sept 2012) The American Planning Association conducted a survey in March 2012 that was meant to highlight the community priorities of American citizens and planners in addressing the public sentiments in current planning efforts.
