Journalist Ray Hebert helped introduce the public to planning issues with his coverage of urban growth and mobility in the 1960s.
"Ray Hebert, who as an urban affairs writer for the Los Angeles Times was one of the first reporters in America to cover city and regional planning, has died. He was 86."
"As an urban affairs specialist, Hebert wrote extensively about water issues, urban growth and traffic problems. His 1965 series on traffic congestion, "Are We Losing Our Mobility?," explored many of the issues that Southlanders continue to face more than 40 years later.
Born in New Orleans, Hebert moved to Southern California when he was 9."
