The problem with urban planning is that it's really
complex. Cities are our lives laid out in physical form. They are human psychology, economy, and sociology made tangible. They mean different things to everyone, and every resident comes with differing perspectives formed from their unique combination of resources and life pressures. That makes it really, really, really hard to have a nuanced discussion, particularly in the format of public meetings or civic lectures. The rhetoric tends to be dogmatic because that's pretty much the depth of conversation you can accommodate.
