Product Description
This carefully conceived book is the first to detail each crucial step in the site analysis and planning process, from site selection through design development. It shows how these activities are integrated to arrive at a site plan that successfully balances the needs of the client and other stakeholders with the site′s suitability for the intended land uses. With more than 130 illustrations, this book includes many outstanding examples of maps and site plans created by leading land planning firms. It offers guidance on:
∗ Site identification, evaluation, and selection
∗ Site inventories of physical, biological, and cultural attributes
∗ Land use suitability analysis using Geographic Information Systems (GIS)
∗ Concept planning and design development
∗ Graphic communication with clients, government agencies, and other stakeholders

This book will fill a void in the academic market by offering a comprehensive introduction to all stages of the site analysis process. The Second Edition of Site Analysis will detail each phase of the land planning and site design process, explain the influence of site and contextual conditions conditions on land use development and conservation decisions.

I am confused as to why CLARB felt that another book ($$$) recommendation was needed.
Still, nothing against this book. It is good, but not for the LARE.
