SLDI Bookstore Introducing Donald R. Chance, Ph.D. Behavior-Based Land Planning Incentive-Based Strategies for the Achievement of Sustainable Growth Management in the United States “This book suggests, among other things, that the future of American planning must shift in both sector orientation and approach if it is to regain societal relevance. It was in Oregon that I recognized the ethical dilemma of American planning practice and the limited effectiveness of many of our basic tools in a society steeped in competitive individualism. Cultural-Based Incentive Planning was specifically created to reduce the current contentiousness between America’s culture of competitive individualism and planning’s egalitarian objectives. These principles work without question in applications from political campaigns to improving safety behavior in the workplace. Our challenge is to best apply these concepts and techniques to planning practice. Retail Introdu $49 95 ctory Pr ice $ 35 00 The concept of sustainability in planning is more than creating and maintaining a natural ecosystem, human environment, and supporting economy in balance. It is also inherently tied to social validity and sustained political consensus. One has difficulty conceiving how to achieve sustainability without accommodating these two critical elements in a freewheeling, market-based democracy like the United States.” Donald R. Chance, Ph.D., Planning Director, Baker City, Oregon Other books published by Sustainable Land Development International: Prefurbia Reinventing the Suburbs: From Disdainable to Sustainable What is PrefurbiaTM? This book is not another critique of sprawling American suburban lifestyles in auto-centric neighborhoods. It is not an analysis of missing cultural resources that could place suburbs on par with metropolitan cities; nor is it an attempt to social engineer through neighborhood design (however, good design can positively affect society). This is not another anti-sprawl book, nor is it a universal solution. Instead, this book acknowledges the needs and desires of the space-seeking home buying market (80% of the U.S. market) and offers exciting affordable-to-build neighborhood solutions that beautify and enhance suburban quality of life. It presents refreshing new design examples that result in distinguishable, warm, connected, spacious neighborhoods that actually reduce sprawl!
