The reader consists of assembled readings that are recommended by the American Planning Association and some which, in our opinion, represent the key knowledge necessary to become a certified planner. This new volume is a comprehensive, 650+ page, bound book that is the definitive collection of essential readings.,Youâ€™ll learn about significant historical decisions and theories that continue to impact cities today, like the City Beautiful movement at the turn of the 20th century and Le Corbusierâ€™s proposed Radiant City. Youâ€™ll learn cutting edge practices in transportation, traffic and parking management, including a chapter from UCLA professor Donald A. Shoupâ€™s theories on â€œthe high cost of free parking.â€ And of course youâ€™ll get a dose of Jane Jacobsâ€™ incisive and biting commentary, words that sounded the death knell for thoughtless urban renewal and inspired a generation of thinkers to create walkable, vibrant cities.
