Mr. Garrett died last week at 74, just short of the 25th anniversary of Burning Man’s founding.
But his handiwork will be on display to thousands as the yearly festival begins Monday. Mr. Garrett arranged the grounds, called Black Rock City, in a series of concentric semicircles. At their center is the Man, a giant effigy meant to be immolated on the last night of the weeklong gathering.

The title of this article is erroneous and should be changed asap.
Rod Garrett was not the "Urban Planner Behind ‘Burning Man’. He was an urban planner who helped to draw up the layout for the event. The people behind the creation of the event are very well documented.
All you have to do is read the article in the NY Times or

The title of this article, "Rod Garrett, the Urban Planner Behind ‘Burning Man’" is quoted directly from the NY Times article that we link to.
