Abstract
Planners tend to think and work at the scale of the neighborhood and city. We argue that a wider analytical lens focusing on extralocal economic forces—specifically, growing inequality between regions—is essential to understanding contemporary urban problems. The growth of interregional inequality is stimulating a national dialogue on place-based policies that would benefit substantially from planning expertise. We point to three ways that planning can, and should, shape this conversation: 1) by applying a truly place-based approach; 2) by advocating for a multiscalar lens in addressing spatial inequality; and 3) by advancing holistic models of development.

摘要
规划者倾向于在社区和城市的规模上思考和工作。我们认为,关注外部经济力量的更广泛的分析视角——特别是地区之间日益加剧的不平等——对于理解当代城市问题至关重要。地区间不平等的加剧正在刺激全国就地方政策展开对话,这将大大受益于规划专业知识。我们指出了规划可以而且应该塑造这种对话的三种方式:1)通过应用真正基于地点的方法;2) 通过提倡多尺度镜头来解决空间不平等问题;3) 通过推进整体发展模式。
