New Publications for 2006


The Center for Land Use Education has reorganized its publication website and added new publications for 2006.

The new website is organized into five sections for ease of searching: handbooks, bulletins, megatrends, fact sheets, and other publications. You will also find links to the comprehensive planning element guides and other UW-Extension publications related to planning.

 

A list of new publications for 2006 is provided below.  A copy of the Transfer of Development Rights fact sheet from the new plan implementation series is also included as a pullout. Most of the remaining publications are available to download for free on the web. Visit our homepage and click on publications.
