"Urban theorist" is an even more useless title than urban planner lmao. At least urban planners want to do good, they're just ignored until they rubber-stamp pre-planmed prestige projects by the government.
There's fuck-all to theorize, what's good has been known for ages. The issue is not knowing what's good, but implementing itAt least urban planners want to do good
Highly debatable and more of a case by case basis. You get a lot of them coming at it from an "engineering" standpoint and fully carbrained
I suppose, though in my personal experience it's more a question of having your soul crushed and giving up at some point. Most planners I've interacted with want to - or at least started out with wanting to - do good. It's just incredibly difficult to do anything other than MORE ROAD or BIG EXPENSIVE OFFICE.
Oh I don't even mean the broken down people, not judging by the official position or what they actually do even, I get the constraints.
But even discounting those the field is still littered with fully car brained people entirely on board with whatever next planning crime is currently being done
