For the past fifty years, urban planning has revolved around the presumed necessity of perpetual growth and development. Contending that the supposed benefits of endless growth cannot - and should not - be taken for granted, the book The Future of Planning comprises a timely exploration of alternative urban development models.

Filled with practical suggestions that establish a new planning agenda, The Future of Planning proposes new ways to protect and enhance existing low-value land uses as well as the means of managing community assets within the built environment.
