Abstract

Monitoring the supply of developable land and its capacity to accommodate growth within urbanizing regions is an increasingly important component of land use planning and growth management programs. This volume reviews the current state of the art in land monitoring, particularly new GIS tools and data resources. Chapters address technical and methodological frameworks for data collection, analysis and application to specific policy concerns; case studies of successful land monitoring programs; and thematic topics ranging from database design to urban simulation modeling. Appendices offer detailed findings of a national survey of land supply monitoring programs.
