许多规划师在私人咨询公司工作，许多地方政府也使用他们的服务，但我们几乎不知道咨询师的参与如何影响规划。分析数据从地方官员聘请规划顾问的调查，我们发现，虽然聘请顾问似乎并没有推动地方官员在政策方向不同，他们的喜好，它似乎产生的计划，政策重点更倾向于智能增长。这就提出了关于顾问对规划过程的合法性的影响的种类和程度的问题。
Many planners work at private consulting firms, and many local governments use their services, but we have little idea of how consultant involvement affects plans. Analyzing data from a survey of local officials who engage planning consultants, we find that while engaging consultants does not appear to nudge local officials in a policy direction different from their preferences, it does appear to yield plans with a policy focus more oriented toward smart growth. This raises questions about the kind and degree of consultants’ impact on the legitimacy of the planning process.
