  "Every community has the right of self-defense," says Chris Williamson, an associate professor at the University of Southern California and proponent of a "post-growth" approach, which is gaining traction in areas where developers are "slowly drawing a noose around entire regions."
  
  Williamson believes that communities may not want (or be able) to build enough housing to meet all the demand anticipated by groups such as 1000 Friends.

  AICP Research Fellow Focuses on Census 2000 - [Cached Version]
  Published on: 6/8/2001    Last Visited: 6/8/2001  

  Washington , D.C.-The American Institute of Certified Planners ( AICP ) is pleased to announce the first recipient of the AICP Research Fellowship , Dr. Christopher Williamson , AICP , of the University of Southern California.Dr. Williamson's research program is focused on preparing planners for the 2000 Census of Population and Housing ( Census 2000 ).
  
  The AICP Research Fellowship is annually awarded to a planning educator in an accredited planning program for research focused on the practice of planning.AICP is the American Planning Association's professional credentialling institute.
  
  The census is information-infrastructure : it is largely unseen but would be sorely missed , expensive to build but inexpensive to each user , and lasts a long time , says Dr. Williamson.Planners routinely use census data and routinely work with the basic building blocks of a good census : local maps , housing unit addresses and public participation..
  
  Census 2000 is one of APA's legislative priorities , said Frank So , AICP , executive director , and we are pleased to be able to give it such focused attention at the research level with Dr. Williamson's work..
  
  The focus of the fellowship research , developed in cooperation with the Bureau of the Census and APA's research department , began in the spring of 1998 with a survey of planners who are regular users of population and housing census data.The survey will ascertain the census skills planners now have , their awareness of technical changes planned for Census 2000 , and the census data applications most often encountered in planning agencies.
  ...
  As part of the fellowship , Dr. Williamson will contribute a series of information pieces in APA's Planning magazine that focus on what local planners should know and be doing in preparation for Census 2000.The first article describing the Local Update of Census Address ( LUCA ) program and the 1998 Dress Rehearsals appears in the May 1998 issue.Later articles will discuss content , rural areas , complete count committees , local Census Bureau offices and employment , and data products and delivery.
  
  Other activities will include a possible Census 2000 workshop at APA's April 1999 National Planning Conference in Seattle and a model curriculum package drawn from the course he is creating and teaching at the University of Southern California.
  
  Dr. Williamson holds a Ph.D. in planning from the University of Southern California where he is director of academic and student affairs in the School of Urban Planning and Development.He worked for the Census Bureau on both the 1980 and 1990 censuses , current surveys , and on the director's staff.Later he worked for six years as a local city planner and environmental consultant as an expert census data user.With his acceptance of the fellowship , Dr. Williamson applies his professional , academic and research skills to a program designed to help local planners prepare for Census 2000.
