The question
Peter asks if urban planners are a cheaper alternative to attorneys for getting things done, and what the key differences are between the two professions in the context of development.
The answer
Anne-Christine confirms that planners are cheaper and explains the ethical differences. She notes that a planner's primary concern is the community's welfare, whereas an attorney's focus is on the client. She also discusses the value of a planner's work as expert testimony in legal disputes.
