The Citizen's Guide to Planning 4th Edition by Christopher Duerksen
APA's popular primer for citizens is all new! For decades, planning officials and engaged citizens have relied on this book for a better understanding of the basics of planning. Now the authors have revised this perennial bestseller into a 21st-century guide for anyone who wants to make his or her community a better place. This book describes the land-use planning process, the key players in that process, and the legal framework in which decisions are made. The authors advocate principles and disciplines that will help those involved in the process make good decisions. In easy-to-understand language, they offer nuts-and-bolts information about different types of plans and how they are implemented. Chapters cover the goals and values of planning, the history of planning, the different people and organizations involved, the creation and implementation of a comprehensive plan, sustainability, the application review process, and legal and ethical questions.
Christopher J. Duerksen is a managing director and Donald L. Elliott is a senior consultant, both at Clarion Associates, LLC, a land-use consulting firm. C. Gregory Dale is a founding principal with McBride Dale Clarion, the Cincinnati affiliate office of Clarion Associates.
