Planning is a highly political activity. It is immersed in politics
and inseparable from the law. Urban and regional planning decisions
often involve large sums of money, both public and private, with
the potential to deliver large benefits to some and losses to
others. Contemporary Urban Planning, 11e provides students with an
unvarnished and in-depth introduction to the historic, economic,
political, legal, ideological, and environmental factors affecting
urban planning today, and emphasizes the importance of considering
who wins and who loses in planning decision making. The extensively
revised and updated 11th edition of this beloved text tackles the
most pressing recent issues in urban development-including the
major turn toward reurbanization, Affordable Housing and the
particular housing needs of an aging population, new developments
in public transportation planning, policy, and technology,
standards for "green" buildings, the second Obama administration's
environmental policy and energy planning, as well as the rapidly
growing and critical field of planning for natural catastrophes.
Contemporary Urban Planning is an essential resource for students,
city planners, and all who are concerned with the nature of
contemporary urban development problems.
