Land use planning in America began with a concern for the efficient allocation of land, but has shifted to a concern for procedural fairness in allocating public resources, which requires increased stakeholder participation. As outlined in this policy focus report, research has shown that consensus building produces more satisfying outcomes by preparing parties to deal with their differences in the future, gain confidence in the role of government, and empower themselves and others to take greater responsibility for land use decisions that affect them.

Case discussion will include disputes over the rate and pattern of development, conflicts over infrastructure, disagreements over the cleanup of contaminated sites, and controversies over efforts to adopt new land use plans. The course materials incorporate practical experience from citizens, developers, planners, and land use mediators from across the country"--Course announcement leaflet.
