Customer Reviews

A must read for all local and regional planners

If it had not been for this book, I would not have passed the AICP test. The format covers a wide range of planning issues from the history of planning to citizens workshops and the basic process of planning. All planners should have this book in their reference library.

Provides an overview of the concerns of contemporary planning from the state perspective and provides detailed analysis of how these issues can be addressed through local development control.
