Intractable Democracy: Fifty Years of Community-Based Planning celebrates Pratt’s role in the evolution of community-based planning. It features practitioners, activists, students, academics, and enthusiasts—each approaching the field from a different angle, but all striving toward the same end: realizing a more just and inclusive city.

We have strengthened our inter-discpilinary pedagogy, fully integrated sustainability, and launched important research and advocacy often in concert with the Pratt Center for Community Development.
Pratt’s planning program is unique in the nation in its ambition and pedagogy. We trust that you will be a continuing participant in our events and efforts. We hope that you will help us to train, motivate and propel the next generation of progressive planners.
Many thanks to those of you who already dug deep to help out—your name is inscribed in Intractable Democracy, the publication of our half-century mark. But it is not too late to augment or provide new, tax-deductable support to the next 50 years of progressive, community-centered planners at Pratt.
