It is with great pleasure that I present this issue on housing and home - topics that are relevant to all planners.Item Home is where the heart is(Canadian Institute of Planners, 2002) Maxwell, JudithThe form and function of homes are changing as Canadians adapt to new technologies, new patterns of work, and new family structures. Families cannot function well without a home. But homes cannot function unless they are nested in liveable cities and supported in appropriate ways by the market and the state. Trends in recent decades have made it possible for some people to integrate their lives by working at home. But too many families are overburdened, leading to the distinct possibility that we are poisoning our own future by failing to establish new premises about the relationships between work, family, state and the liveability of our cities.Item Meanings of home: Developing a responsive and humane planning practice(Canadian Institute of Planners, 2002) Thompson, SusanHome is the familiar every-day world where we find a sense of belonging and worth. It is critical that town planners have an understanding of what home means to individuals and communities and the implications that this holds for planning practice. In this reflective piece, Dr. Thompson explores different notions of home and the way that change, which is a central concern of planning, impacts on these meanings. She suggests how planning practitioners can better appreciate the significance of home and as a consequence, respond humanely and appropriately to this complex person-place relationship.
