A time-saver of a book in the time-honored tradition of Time-Saver Standards for Building Types! This new book provides, primarily in graphic form, a wealth of specific data and documentary material on the theory and techniques of site planning and development. The material is so extensive and culled from so many different and widely scattered sources that if simply isn't available in any other single publication. Whatever your professional role in commissioning, designing, or implementing solutions to site planning problems--developer, planner, environmentalist, architect, landscape architect, or construction engineer--you'll find this working guide especially helpful. Tightly organized and carefully detailed, it is your expert guide to successfully completing your part of the project in full accord with all important aesthetic, environmental, economic, and technical requirements. In moments you can put your finger on the precise methods, specifications, and planning standards you require. And you'll find the graphics (diagrams, drawings, maps) and related statements and rulings you want in one convenient, easy-to-locate spot. Brief, to-the-point commentary clarifies and elaborates on graphics and source materials and ensures against any possible confusion or misinterpretation. In this way graphics, text, organization, and format all work together to present you immediately with major essential methods, design data, and documentary materials on each and every facet of modern site planning.
