Alternative Techniques for Managing Growth, 2nd ed.
Irving Schiffman, 150pp, Book #3850, $15.95
In this uniquely useful book, Irving Schiffman introduces local government officials, planning commissioners, students, scholars, and interested citizens to a wide range of alternative techniques available to implement community planning objectives. “Alternative techniques” are tools that complement—rather than replace—traditional regulatory approaches to land-use management. Many are new; some have been in use for years. All are presented in a clear, comprehensive fashion. Together, they provide choice and flexibility in dealing with a diverse array of land-use issues that are frequently combined under the label of “growth management.”
