Abstract
Pierre Clavel is Professor Emeritus of City and Regional Planning at Cornell University. His research
and writing has been on planning, administration, and politics with particular application to
regionalism and nationalism in Appalachia and Wales and then applied to progressive cities like
Hartford, Cleveland, Berkeley, Santa Monica, Burlington, Chicago, and Boston; and community
development in Youngstown, Ohio, and Maine.
Current projects include an archived collection and webpages on progressive cities and neighborhood
planning. Clavel was director of Cornell's Progressive Planning Summer Program from 1979–83,
several times director of graduate studies, and department chair from 2001–04.
Clavel studied planning at the University of North Carolina, where he received his MRP degree in
1959. He practiced with Blair and Stein Associates in New England and Upstate New York and
received his PhD at Cornell in 1966. Prior to Cornell, Clavel taught at the University of Puerto Rico.
