The Practice of Local Government Planning
The Practice of Local Government Planning (3rd edition, 2000, ISBN 0-87326-171-2)
is published by the International City Management Association, and was edited by Frank S. So and Judith Getzels.
Also known as the "Green Book" or "Green Bible", The Practice of Local Government Planning is a one volume compendium that defines the many aspects of local planning practice in the United States. Chapter topics include urban design, district planning, subdivision regulation, zoning, economic development, fees and exactions, and environmental impact assessment. Although parts of the "Green Book" are dated, it is still widely considered an essential reference book for planners in North America.
