Donald Harrison Elliott (August 20, 1932 – December 23, 2021) was an American urban planner. He was chairman of the New York City Planning Commission from the late 1960s to the early 1970s. He helped lead the city away from the large-scale disruptive projects of Robert Moses to more neighborhood-friendly and historically respectful development.[1][2][3][4]
