N1  - Planning is a highly political activity. It is immersed in politics and inseparable from the law. 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
