The 2017-2018 Land Use and Urban Planning Directory: The Definitive Guide to Organizations That Seek to Balance Conservation, Sustainability, and Urban Planning and Development

From the smallest towns to the largest cities, government agencies must balance development, sustainability, community needs, and social justice while providing critical public services.

The 2017-2018 edition of The Land Use and Urban Planning Directory is the most comprehensive listing of agencies and departments charged with the responsibility of managing land use at all levels of government.

The directory outlines the processes involved in land-use management—including submitting formal applications, preparing legal notices, application review, and the issuance of permits—and also lists the entities responsible for building inspections, mapping services, zoning enforcement, managing air and water issues, planning for and responding to natural disasters, and more.

Each entry contains detailed contact information, including names, addresses, and telephone numbers. Also included are selected email and Internet addresses, websites, descriptions of regulatory guidelines and processes, and more. Entries are categorized by state and are indexed alphabetically and by area of responsibility. Each person listed in the directory is also indexed alphabetically.
