In the third edition of this handbook, Smith explains the community planning process in non-technical terms and demonstrates the need for widespread citizen involvement in community development.

From definitions of basic concepts to summaries of major legislation, this is a practical guide to mastering an often complicated process. Discussions of the National Affordable Housing Act, the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act, and the Clean Air Act prepare citizens to cope with the effect of recent legislation on planning.
