xii, 292 p. : ill. ; 28 cm. 'As a practical guide to, and overview of, land use planning theory and implementation, this book succeeds admirably. It is a balanced survey of the major elements in a land use plan and the major debates about their use. It should prove valuable as a reference book for students and practitioners in that it assembles in one place the material usually found in dozens of books. The book, however, is not a compilation but a guide to action written in clear language aimed at the practitioner'. Tunney Lee, Massachusetts Institute of Technology -- 'This completely revised edition of Land Use Planning Made Plain maintains Leung's avowed intent of producing a short, uncluttered textbook covering current practice. Totally new sections on environment, transportation, infrastructure, GIS, the pros and cons of mixed uses, conflict resolution, public private partnerships, and new roles for the planner are delivered in Leung's, no- nonsense style. An excellent base text.' Jeanne M.
