Simply put, they offer targets to be attained, ensuring that all efforts and actions are put towards a specific, explicit purpose. Although one may rightly argue that city-wide planning efforts, to some degree, have been undertaken without much by way of explicit goals and objectives since the early days of cities, the growing complexity and interconnectedness of contemporary city systems\u2014and the great implications of poor city planning\u2014make them now necessary.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">In pursuit of making planning easier, however, the development of objectives and goals in the recent past share many common shortcomings:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"p1\"><strong><i>They are too general<\/i><\/strong>: Frequently, goals and objectives are so general that few could object to\u2014let alone discriminate between\u2014them. A couple of examples from the City of Vancouver\u2019s recent <em><a href=\"https:\/\/council.vancouver.ca\/20190709\/documents\/rr1.pdf\">City-wide Plan Policy Report<\/a><\/em> will serve us well here: &#8220;Improving public amenity provision and cultural vitality\u201d or \u201cEnhancing sociable and safe places for people and vibrant livable, well-designed neighbourhoods and shopping streets\u201d What is meant by \u201cimproving,\u201d \u201cvitality,\u201d \u201cenhancing,\u201d \u201cvibrant\u201d or \u201clivable\u201d and \u201cwell-designed\u201d is left to the imagination. This type of language does well to make people think that good is being done, but in reality does minimal to allow people to meaningfully discriminate between different alternatives.<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\"><strong><i>They are too specific<\/i><\/strong>: On the opposite end of the spectrum, goals and objectives are often too specific and prescriptive: \u201call sidewalks are to be 36 inches wide\u201d for example. Although these types of statements relate directly to transforming the city, the more general motivation behind them remains unknown. Why 36 inches? This serves to limit the innovation and the exploration of design and planning alternatives that can meet the same underlying intentions in different ways.<\/li>\n<li class=\"p2\"><strong><i>They are irrelevant or unrealizable<\/i><\/strong>: Other objectives may be impossible to achieve. For example, the City of Vancouver\u2019s goal of<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>\u201cMaking connections to the metropolitan region and <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Cascadia_%28independence_movement%29\">Cascadia<\/a>\u201d is well-intentioned, but beyond the means of the City since it crosses not only municipal and regional boundaries but international ones. Goals like this\u2014that are outside the governance of municipalities\u2014are commonly used to safely \u2018pad\u2019 the list of planning objectives since any attempt to evaluate their success or failure is impossible.<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\"><strong><i>They are too narrowly defined by few individuals<\/i><\/strong>: Some goals are narrowly motivated by the values of a few people who implicitly \u2018force\u2019 them upon the wider community. An everyday example is when pressures from developers result in the (re)zoning of an area of the city solely in the interest of short-term profits. This also has a long history in being used against marginalized groups who have little or no political voice.<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\"><strong><i>They are too short-term<\/i><\/strong>: Time is a very important consideration for city planning since a city can theoretically \u2018live\u2019 indefinitely. Humans generally don\u2019t seem to be well equipped to deal with very long time frames and this is often reflected in city planning goals and objectives. A 100-year plan is all too rare, let alone a 200- or 500-year plan. Yet, many aspects of the city can, and do, last centuries. The street structure of ancient Rome, for example, can still be seen in the contemporary city. Ultimately, it\u2019s easier for goals to deal with immediate or short-term challenges, the result being plans and objectives that are quickly outdated. Needless to say, any contemporary city-plan worth any merit will critically consider that its effects will well outlive its creators and anticipate continual change.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>I\u2019ll specifically address time and its relationship to city-wide planning later in this series.<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\"><strong><i>They are not comprehensive enough<\/i><\/strong>: Although this is cuts across all the shortcomings listed above, sets of goals and objectives related to city-wide planning are typically far from comprehensive. The increasing complexity and systemic nature of modern cities makes the creation of a \u2018complete\u2019 set of goals and objectives that much more difficult. This being the case, although certain goals and objectives may be very rational, successes are countered by failures: the creation of a more \u2018liveable\u2019 community comes with increasing unaffordability, for example.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"p1\">The overall result of the above is, in the words of Lynch: \u201c\u2026<em>solutions that are irrational, or sub-optimal, or vague, or determined by a few spoken criteria for which the stated objectives are simply camouflaged<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">So, how are we to approach the creation of goals and objectives that avoid these shortcomings? This will be our focus in <b><i>Part 4<\/i><\/b>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">***<\/p>\n<p><em>In case you missed it:<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/spacing.ca\/national\/2019\/08\/26\/planning-city-wide-a-primer-part-1\/\"><em>Planning City-wide: A Primer &#8211; Part 1\u00a0<\/em><\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/spacing.ca\/national\/2019\/08\/28\/planning-city-wide-a-primer-part-2\/\"><strong><em>Planning City-wide: A Primer &#8211; Part 2<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/spacing.ca\/national\/2019\/09\/02\/planning-city-wide-a-primer-part-4\/\"><strong><em>Planning City-wide: A Primer &#8211; Part 4\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<li><strong><em><a href=\"http:\/\/spacing.ca\/national\/2019\/09\/04\/planning-city-wide-a-primer-part-5\/\">Planning City-wide: A Primer &#8211; Part 5<\/a>\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/spacing.ca\/national\/2019\/09\/06\/planning-city-wide-a-primer-part-6\/\"><em><strong>Planning City-wide: A Primer &#8211; Part 6<\/strong><\/em><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/spacing.ca\/national\/2019\/09\/09\/planning-city-wide-a-primer-part-7\/\"><em><strong>Planning City-wide: A Primer &#8211; Part 7<\/strong><\/em><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/spacing.ca\/national\/2019\/09\/11\/planning-city-wide-a-primer-part-8\/\"><em><strong>Planning City-wide: A Primer &#8211; Part 8<\/strong><\/em><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>**<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><em><strong>Erick Villagomez<\/strong>\u00a0is one of the founding editors at Spacing Vancouver and the author of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Laws-Settlements-Underlying-Culture-Version\/dp\/1718145365\/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1545028647&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=The+Laws+of+Settlements%3A+54+Laws+Underlying+Settlements+across+Scale+and+Culture\">The Laws of Settlements: 54 Laws Underlying Settlements across Scale and Culture<\/a>.
