Project Bibliography

The Growing Smart project has produced two downloadable bibliographies on planning statute reform:

  • A short annotated bibliography of books and publications on reform of state planning statutes. This is downloadable as a file. It includes state-specific reports proposing changes in planning statutes or procedures, including reports of state study commissions and monographs on the implementation of existing planning programs. Also included are related articles and reports on innovative approaches to legislative reform or commentaries that have implications for new legislation.
  • A longer annotated bibliography of books and publications on planning statute reform, growth management, land use controls, subdivision, zoning, and related topics.
