N2  - "Site analysis is the key to a well-designed project.  In fact, the careful and complete analysis of a site and its surrounding context can lead to better development proposals, smoother design implementation, and ultimately, higher quality built environments. This carefully conceived book is the first detail each crucial step in the site analysis and planning process, from site selection through design development. It shows how these activities are integrated to arrive at a site plan that successfully balances the needs of the client and other stakeholders with the site's suitability for the intended land uses. With more than 130 illustrations, this book includes many outstanding examples of maps and site plans created by leading land planning firms... Filled with need-to-know information on the entire land planning and design process, Site Analysis is a vital addition to the library of students and professionals in landscape architecture, urban design and planning, and related areas." -  Back cover
