"Substantive updates and a tradition of clear, sensible writing remain a hallmark of Planning in the USA. A particular strength of each new edition, including this one, is the timely, pertinent commentary on recent and consequential legal decisions and legislation. The insights provided by these discussions are of value to students and instructors alike."George Pomeroy, Shippensburg University of Pennsylvania, USA."I’m delighted with this update of my ‘go to’ reference for American planning. Its expansion into new topics brings cutting edge issues alongside perennial topics for the student of planning. Prepared to challenge the planning profession and politicians, this new edition continues Caves and Cullingworth’s tradition of critical insights into planning in the USA."Richard Dunning, University of Liverpool, UK."The 5th edition of Planning in the USA is updated in ways that make it useful and appealing for use in introductory and even some intermediate-level planning courses. Like its predecessors, the book succeeds in providing students with overviews of important planning history and topics, while simultaneously delivering technical details on complex topics such as climate change planning, municipal finance, and segregation. This newest edition’s inclusion of recent legal cases, discussions of COVID-19 housing, the gig economy, federal policy, and planning careers will not only expand and curiosity of current planning students but also help others discover how their interests can be pursued through the study of and a career in the field of planning."Harley F. Etienne, Associate Professor of City and Regional Planning, Knowlton School, The Ohio State University, USA.
