Planning Magazine, a monthly periodical from the American Planning Association, has published a great write-up on the use of GIS in planning. You can read it in the July 2008 issue or online.

Geography Notes
Being a planner by training and a GISer by trade, I have kept a close watch on GIS use by planners. My observation — the vast majority of planners pay lip service to GIS. I hope articles like this one in Planning Magazine facilitate the long-overdue integration.
