Alan Altshuler
He argued for abandoning the objective, non-political view of planning. He felt that to be effective, planners must become actively involved in the political process (in advocacy planning).
Saul Alinsky
He developed an advocacist vision of planning that is centered around so called "organizations." His organizations develop where people feel powerless. These organizations then hire planners (which he largely sees as political organizers) to identify problems, develop an awareness of these problems, and generate action.
Paul Davidoff
He was an early champion of advocacy planning. He argued that there is no one public interest for planners to serve, and thus, that planners have no choice but to become non-objective advocates for specific interests and groups.

In Advocacy Planning, planners become like ___________: They advocate and defend the interests of a particular client or group (which is preferably economically disadvantaged and/or politically unorganized or underrepresented).

Planning
It is a thinking and social process. Intellectual thought processes (thinking aspect) as well as policies and actions (social aspect) are needed to bridge the gap between what is likely and what is desired.
Zoning
It is the designation and allocation of territorial areas of city or municipality into functional land use zones and districts.
Land Use Planning
It is the systematic assessment of land and water potential, alternatives for land use, and economic and social conditions in order to select and adopt the best land-use options.
Land Use Planning
It is the term used for a branch of public policy encompassing various disciplines which seek to order and regulate land use in an efficient and ethical way, thus preventing land use conflicts.

Advocacism
This theory abandons the objective, non-political view of planning contained in rationalism.
Methodism
This theory addresses situations in which the planning techniques that should be used are known, but the ends that should be achieved by these techniques are not. Such a situation would be making a population projection just to have it handy when it is needed.
Radical Planning
This theory argues that planning is most effective when it is performed by non-professional neighborhood planning committees that empower common citizens to experiment with solving their own problems.
Utopianism
This theory believes that planning is most effective when it proposes sweeping changes that capture the public imagination. Also imagined as a perfect place or state of things.
Radicalism
This theory takes transactivism to its logical extreme. It hates hierarchical bureaucracies, centralized planning, and domineering professional planners.
