Notes on Community Development Article

 * First sentence is a definition
 * The second paragraph contains a quote that is not cited
 * Has really long quotes that could probably be paraphrased
 * Missing several citations (if the minimum should be around one per paragraph)

Notes on Engaged Scholarship Article

 * Redundant definitions in first paragraph
 * What is ethical participatory research? Is it the same as engaged scholarship? Confusing
 * The second section is unclear which universities have what programs, as it names only UC Berkeley but appears to cite programs of other universities

Urban planning in the United States is practice of urban planning as it relates specifically to localities and urban centers in the United States.

Early history
...Dismissed by the Washington D.C. commission, L'Enfant's plan would not be revived and implemented until 1902, as part of the McMillan Commission's efforts to rebuild the city.

In 1811, land for New York's Central Park was acquired by the city through eminent domain and incorporated into the urban plan. Residents of Seneca Village, a settlement of free African Americans and German and Irish immigrants located on the future site of Central Park, were evicted by 1857. Frederick Law Olmsted, with the help of Calvert Vaux, developed a design for Central Park, which was entered into the open competition held by the city, and subsequently won. Their plan was then successfully revived by the city, and was opened to the public in the winter of 1858.

The twentieth century
In 1909, the first National Conference on City Planning was held in Washington D.C. Dominating the conference, Benjamin C. Marshall urged the government to conduct a 'civic census' to study the state of American cities, educate the public on its findings, and establish a national city-planning committee.

Daniel Burnham was commissioned by the Chicago Merchants Association to lead a team to plan Chicago's World's Columbian Exposition of 1893...

In 1933, the National Planning Board was established...

In 1965, President Lyndon B. Johnson established the Department of Housing and Urban Development.
