Evaluating urban and regional plans

"Effective practitioners in any field understand that lessons from the past underlie successes in the future. Which practices have worked before and which haven't? What does that teach us? Evaluating Urban and Regional Plans blends theory and practice to delineate the questions that planners need to ask as they shape the future of Canadian communities. Monitoring the outputs and outcomes generated by a plan--and gauging their impact--ensures that the planning function remains relevant, and that resources are used effectively, efficiently, and equitably. This invaluable resource offers a wealth of pragmatic guidance on plan evaluation processes and methods."--
