This paper updates a similar survey of planning theory course-outlines conducted exactly ten years ago. The paper examines the course content, required readings, and class assignments for 67 Master's courses, 17 undergraduate courses, and 6 Ph.D. courses offered by 69 Amencan and Canadian universities during the 1989-90 academic year. Like the previous study, it reveals a remarkable diversity of views on the appropriate course content and required readings for a "planning theory" course. It also indicates that while many of the most widely used readings are extremely old, there is also an increased interest in planning history, professional ethics, and alternative perspectives.
