Description
This book introduces community planning as practiced in america, focusing on the comprehensive plan. On occasion known by other names—especially master plan or general plan—the kind of plan described here is the predominant form of general governmental planning in the U.S. Despite the fact that many government agencies make plans for their own programs or facilities, the comprehensive plan is the only planning document that considers more than one programs and that accounts for activities on all land located within the planning area, including both public and private property.
Written by a former president of the American Planning Association, Community Planning is thorough, specific, and timely. It addresses such important recent issues as sustainability, walkable communities, the role of urban design in public safety, changes in housing needs for a changing population, and multi-modal transportation planning. Unlike competing books, it addresses all of these topics in the context of the local comprehensive plan.
There is a broad audience for this book: planning students, practicing planners, and individual citizens who need to better be mindful local planning and land use controls. Boxes at the end of each chapter give an explanation for how professional planners and individual citizens, respectively, normally engage the issues addressed in the chapter. For all readers, Community Planning provides a pragmatic view of the comprehensive plan, clearly explained by a respected authority.
