Land use planning and regulatory decisions affect economic development and quality of life. They can also create major challenges to property owner efforts to develop their property.

This program is designed for attorneys, professional planners, and government officials involved in land use planning, zoning, permitting, property development, and related litigation. It not only addresses and analyzes the state-of-the-art efforts by government to manage land use and development, but also presents the key issues faced  by property owners and developers in obtaining necessary governmental approvals.  In addition, the entire approach of the program is to provide practice pointers that give immediate “take home value.” 

This outstanding program features:

§          Critical review and analysis of the most important new cases

§          Detailed analysis of hot topics, including Update on the Taking Issue, Land Use and Water Supply Concerns, “Green” Audits of  Plans and Regulations, Update on Climate Change and Land Use, and Public-Private Partnerships

§          Hard hitting debate on the issue of sprawl vs. sustainable development

§          Case studies of projects that require multi-jurisdictional approval and real world land use solutions to environmental constraints
