Abstract:
The Department of City and Regional Planning at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is celebrating its sixtieth anniversary. The authors discuss the top ten planning events in the state over the past sixty years; these events had, and continue to have, a lasting impact on the state's communities, people, and the planning profession. The events include the establishment of the Clean Water Management Trust Fund, construction of the Blue Ridge Parkway, and the Coastal Area Management Act (CAMA).
