TY - JOUR PY - 1998// TI - Visioning: Did Anybody See Where It Came from? JO - Journal of planning literature A1 - Shipley, R. A1 - Newkirk, R. SP - 407 EP - 416 VL - 12 IS - 4 N2 - Vision and several related terms are now common in planning discourse. This article surveys a wide range of planning-related periodical literature and analyzes the history, rise, and geographic distribution of the use of the terms vision and visioning. Vision has evolved from a product, a pronouncement about the literature made by special people, into a visioning process in which whole communities participate. Vision has also come to have a metaphorical as well as a literal meaning. Pitfalls and cautionary points for planners are discussed because little critical thought has accompanied the profession's adoption of vision and visioning.
