Abstract
Recognizing, understanding, and engaging difference, diversity, and cultural heterogeneity in creative and productive ways requires cultural competency. In this article, we first define culture, difference, and equality as a platform to call for a broader conception of culture in the planning profession than that implicit in multiculturalism. Second, we discuss how a broader appreciation of culture is the foundation of planning for intercultural communities, which provides a new rationale for understanding why cultural competency skills are central to planning education. Finally, we offer a framework for planning schools to integrate cultural competency themes across the curriculum.
