Too many typos in the Kindle edition! YouBETTERrun! Content wise, this is a good basic introduction read on planning and zoning.

I notice a typo or a missing word about every 5 pages.. it's okay Required reading for urban planning course. Good introduction in into the different areas surrounding urban planning. Pretty pricy for an electronic version.
