Urban and regional planning programs aim to equip practitioners with the skills to draft and execute comprehensive plans, yet academic planning programs tend to prioritize theory over practice. Fundamentals of Plan Making seeks to bridge this gap by providing planning students with a comprehensive understanding of research and analytical methods applicable to comprehensive planning. Through its informative text and illustrative examples, the book aims to familiarize students with diverse data sources and empower them with the ability to conduct fundamental planning analyses, including population projections, housing needs assessments, development impact analyses, and land-use plans. Additionally, students will delve into the various citizen participation techniques employed by planners and cultivate an appreciation for the values and responsibilities of practicing planners.

In this revised second edition, authored by Edward Jepson and Jerry Weitz, with extensive experience as practicing planners and teaching faculty, the book offers practical, hands-on tools to aspiring planning students. The new edition incorporates an updated census data set, expanded discussions on sustainability and other relevant topics, and access to online resources, including a companion website. Furthermore, the book's updated chapters on transportation, housing, environment, economic development, and other core planning elements make it an invaluable reference for planning practitioners. By providing a comprehensive and practical approach, Fundamentals of Plan Making equips students with the knowledge and skills necessary to contribute to the development of effective and sustainable urban and regional plans.
