Complete with sample meeting agendas and hundreds of remarkable testimonials, the Collaborative Land Use Planning guidebook by Karl Kehde is the result of twelve years of hands-on learning and teaching in 48 land developments in as many different communities in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Florida and Washington. The research was funded by some twenty philanthropic foundations including the Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation, Victoria Foundation, and the New Jersey Department of Community Affairs.

This guidebook provides all land development stakeholders with proven, do-it-yourself procedures for ending conflict and for designing and gaining approvals for community-enhancing land development that specifically improves local property values, reduces traffic congestion, enhances natural and historic resources, and builds community spirit.  Includes a CD with all the necessary forms, sample meeting agendas, and invitation letters to get started with collaborative planning.  Visit landuse.org for details.
