This book is the bible of California planning. I have worked in the field of urban planning for several years. The complexity of coastal California development is such that even the majority of people practicing in the field can't explain the whole process. This book is the only reference that I have seen that tells you what the heck is going on, in fact college classes are taught using this book...

I purchased this book for a class and found very informative and easy to read. The focus is obviously California, but I thought it conveyed information better than the book The Urban Pattern.

This is a great general look at planning in the academic world. The only complaint I have is that it needs much more detail on the "How To's" of planning to even be considered as usefull in the workplace. But again it's great if your in school and want to learn more (it's probably the best source for that kind of thing).
