Managing Community Growth

Kelly, a land-use attorney and planner, traces the history and background of growth management programs and provides a context from which a particular community can answer questions related to the uses and effectiveness of growth management, the suitability of growth management for specific problems in the community, and the types of growth management programs available. The book is valuable for citizen volunteers who sit on land-use boards, including planning and zoning commissions, conservation commissions, and inland wetlands agencies. It will also aid mayors, city councils, and city managers. This second edition reflects developments over the past ten years. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
