The best resource available for creating and evaluating development leadership, planning, and design alternatives
Fully revised and updated, this essential reference enables you to compare development capacity options and costs for vacant and previously developed land in less time than it now takes to draw one option.

40 interactive forecast models on a CD-ROM that predict residential, nonresidential, and hybrid development alternatives from values entered in their design specification templates
Case studies and context records, with photographs and plans, illustrating the application of development capacity evaluation to real-world issues
Precise methods of expressing development options and strategies
Accurate processes for defining strategic development decisions
Consistent ability to convert decisions into prescriptions that achieve intended results
A classification system for the built environment
