The book can serve as an ideal textbook for both undergraduate and graduate courses in Urban Transportation Planning. It fills an appropriate and important niche by giving proper emphasis to what "actors" and activities can influence the quality of the planning process and its eventual impact on a community. The incorporation of major legislation (ISTEA, CAAA, etc.) and other developments (GIS, traffic impact analysis, 1000 Friends of Oregon, etc.)that affect transportation planning distinguishes the text among others in the area.

This review is from: Urban Transportation Planning (Hardcover)
In addition to the seminality found in this text, the prestigious authors share with us their many years of wisdom and experiences in producing the greatest text on urban transportation planning ever written. This book is considered by many to be the "Bible" of transportation planning, and provides a necessary point of departure for any individual.
