At long last we have a book that teaches urban planners to be intelligently analytical and ultrapractical. -- Ray Wyatt, University of Melbourne\u003cbr\u003eGood books on planning methods are rare. Klosterman and his colleagues have done us a great service by updating Klosterman’s previous book and extending its scope in population forecasting, spatial analysis, and GIS. A key text. -- Michael Batty, University College London\u003cbr\u003eI predict—and making accurate predictions is a big part of what this new volume covers—that Planning Support Methods will become an essential ‘go-to’ reference for both beginning students and experienced professionals. New chapters and sections on spatial analysis methods, land suitability analysis methods, and public participation methods help round out this extremely well-written, easy-to-use, and important new work. -- John D. Landis, University of Pennsylvania\u003cbr\u003eKlosterman and his colleagues have done a masterful job of assembling and describing the core methods that planners use to understand the dynamics of urban growth and development.
