Over five decades, successive editions of Urban Land Use Planning have reflected and shaped the planning profession, guiding practitioners as they respond to changing social, economic, and environmental challenges. The sixth edition addresses the complex and pressing equity, sustainability, and resilience issues of today and looks ahead to emerging tools and technologies that will influence the field's future evolution. The book is organized into three parts. The first establishes an intellectual foundation by linking the values, theories, and tools that define contemporary land use planning practice. The second equips planners with analytical methods and information systems needed to build a strong factual basis for effective land use planning, incorporating advances in digital data and interactive technologies. The third explains the concepts and sequential tasks involved in preparing and implementing plans. The first new edition since 2006, Urban Land Use Planning, Sixth Edition updates and revises one of the most enduring and influential works in American planning history.
