Description

Many small towns are experiencing profound social and economic change. Whether your town's issue is industrial decline or population growth, the second edition of The Small Town Planning Handbook offers useful advice on how to cope. The practical tools in this popular guide are sensitive to local character and the reality of limited financial and personnel resources. The authors update and substantially expand topics covered in the first edition. They explain how to develop a comprehensive town plan, draft and apply land-use regulations that put the plan into action, and create sustainable small towns. They also investigate new areas such as economic development, small town design, and strategic planning. A glossary of planning terms, a variety of illustrations, and easy-to-understand language make The Small Town Planning Handbook accessible to a wide range of readers from practicing planners and students to public officials and private citizens.
