Site Analysis:
A Contextual Approach to Sustainable Land Planning and Site Design
by James A. LaGro, Jr.
www.wiley.com/WileyCDA/WileyTitle/productCd-0471797987.html
This textbook provides a step-by-step introduction to sustainable planning and development, focusing on the site level but appropriately taking into larger contextual factors. The book's priorities include limiting long-term maintenance costs and reducing risks from natural hazards—risks that can be exacerbated by poor ecological decisions. All stages of development are covered, from process and tools, to site selection and programming, site inventory and analysis, and design and implementation. Practical issues such as legal constraints are addressed alongside planning advice. The author integrates many ecological strategies that have become consensus approaches, but the more innovative practitioner may want to also look elsewhere for guidance.
