This book introduces community planning as practiced in the United States, focusing on the comprehensive plan. Sometimes known by other names—especially master plan or general plan—the type of plan described here is the predominant form of general governmental planning in the U.S. Although many government agencies make plans for their own programs or facilities, the comprehensive plan is the only planning document that considers multiple programs and that accounts for activities on all land located within the planning area, including both public and private property. Written by a former president of the American Planning Association, Community Planning is thorough, specific, and timely. It addresses such important contemporary issues as sustainability, walkable communities, the role of urban design in public safety, changes in housing needs for a changing population, and multi-modal transportation planning. Unlike competing books, it addresses all of these topics in the context of the local comprehensive plan. There is a broad audience for this book: planning students, practicing planners, and individual citizens who want to better understand local planning and land use controls. Boxes at the end of each chapter explain how professional planners and individual citizens, respectively, typically engage the issues addressed in the chapter. For all readers, Community Planning provides a pragmatic view of the comprehensive plan, clearly explained by a respected authority.

This study evaluated the comprehensive plans of 59 Virginia counties to determine if the transportation elements of the plans had an inventory of the transportation network in the county, an assessment of the network, and recommendations to address the problems noted in the assessment. The study also determined whether or not the comprehensive plans included functional classifications and the extent to which the plans supported access management. The study found that most of the comprehensive plans had an inventory, an assessment, and recommendations, although the assessments were mostly qualitative instead of analytical. Approximately one fourth of the plans reviewed contained recommendations limited to policies, rather than specific transportation infrastructure improvements. The comprehensive plans were in a wide variety of formats and styles, and some contained blatant inconsistencies between the transportation and the economic development sections. This report also provides a list of modes for technical assistance by the Virginia Department of Transportation found in the comprehensive plans, guidance for VDOT staff regarding review of the plans, and a list of threats to the safety and operational integrity of the state highway system found in the comprehensive plans. The costs and benefits of the findings in this research are mainly related to staff time and better county comprehensive plan documents. The appendices provide a description of each plan and a template for the transportation element of a local comprehensive plan.
