Description
Updated in its 10th edition, Contemporary Urban Planning provides readers with in-depth coverage of the historic, economic, political, legal, and environmental factors affecting urban making plans in addition to specific chapters at the more than a few fields of making plans.
With up to date coverage of the Obama administration’s response to the current economic downturn, the text addresses probably the most pressing issues in urban development nowadays – including the subprime mortgage crisis and home foreclosures, federal funding for public transportation, and new standards for “green” buildings. The book also includes new subject matter at the unexpectedly growing field of making plans for natural catastrophes.
