The Most Important Skills an Urban Planner Needs In a Developing Country; The Case of Iran [link]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   
AbstractDifferences in the context of developed vs. developing countries require different kinds of urban planning skills in each group. This paper intends to figure out the most important skills an urban planner should have in a developing country. A total of 341 questionnaires were filled by professionals, instructors, students, and graduates. The result shows that team work, research method and data collection, and technical skills are the most important skills at the undergraduate level, in Iran, while problem definition, analytical skills, and oral presentation are the most important ones at the graduate level. Managerial skills, at neither level, show any significance.
