paragraph before here So what's referring to yeah population increase
and environmental concerns dr employment growth for planners in city
suburbs and other areas This sense follows paragraph about the
need for urban planners in the years to come Right
Well we can therefore infer that the unclear pronoun them
is referring to planners who will be needed to help
with environmentally conscious development Like in theory we care about
this The pronoun them is unclear because it could refer
to either planners or sustainable and environmentally conscious development Which
is it If it did in fact refer to development
well it would be the wrong pronoun because development singular
and then them is plural right The singular pronoun It
would still be incorrect though because the increased demand is
for planners not development Development can't increase demand for itself
Even if it dreams it could Oh that snooty development
All right so we're moving on love in the whole 00:01:13.868 --> [endTime] career thing for urban planners somehow
