The career of the professional planner is a demanding one, requiring the analytical abilities and technical competence of the scientist and the vision and creativity of the contemporary entrepreneur. Addressing such problems as community development or solid waste disposal, planners concern themselves with the social, economic, and ecological implications of land and its development for human settlement. Planners are problem solvers; they are shapers of the future; they are leaders for an improved quality of life.
