Towards Cities of Integrity: The Role of Urban Planners

Dieter Zinnbauer

Research output: Book/ReportReportResearch

Abstract

Getting urbanisation right is a prerequisite for human development and environmental sustainability. Yet, corruption risks in urbanisation abound and threaten to stymie ambitions for a prosperous, inclusive, resilient urban future. Corruption in urban development is a particularly important challenge. A potentially potent source of integrity in this regard has received little attention: The professional community that urban planners are part of and the self-image, purpose, values, and ethical responsibilities this
community seeks to project.
