Preferences for State and Regional Planning Efforts Among California Mayors and City Planning Directors

Abby Kanarek

Mark Baldassare

Several states have enacted or are considering comprehensive state planning laws. There is little research on local officials' support for state planning efforts, despite the considerable evidence that their attitudes can influence policy outcomes. A survey of California mayors and city planning directors shows strong support for state planning efforts, though more in the domains of "system maintenance" functions (e.g., water, transportation) than for "life style" functions (e.g., land use, police). Resistance to regional planning efforts is found, however. City planning directors look more favorably toward having the state government, rather than regional governments, involved in planning efforts. Local officials give support to only minor roles for the regional-level components of state planning.
