Step aside zoning, the Municipal Master Plan of the 21st Century has arrived ... A useful new book ...
Review
The solution to the urban sprawl that seems to thwart the efforts and values of communities…is not to be found in more legislation, rules, and regulation, says Honachefsky, but in local communities and how they develop their municipal master plan…incorporating recent scientific research studies, applying geographic information systems, and designating the protection of the community's ecological infrastructure as the premier priority.

Honachefsky provides nuts and bolts solutions for controlling urban sprawl, emphasizing the integration of federal, state, and local land use plans.
-ERSI Magazine
This book is a thorough and practical presentation of two fundamental planning principles…a must read for land planners and citizen planning board members.
-Environmental Building News
Ignore the academic title, and you'll find a useful, well written and well illustrated book packed with the latest thinking on land use management, written in non-condescending but easy to understand terms and punctuated with anecdotes from the author's 30 year career as an environmental scientist, investigator and professional planner…Yet, it is also that rate thing-a reference book accessible to the average citizen, that is likely to spark new ways of thinking for professional planners and civil engineers.

Move over, the municipal master plan of the 21st Century has arrived.
