Editorial Reviews

Good books on planning methods are rare. Klosterman and his colleagues have done us a great service by updating Klosterman’s previous book and extending its scope in population forecasting, spatial analysis, and GIS. A key text.

Michael Batty

Writing a methods textbook is very difficult. In this instance, the authors have achieved a very good outcome. Students with some grounding should find it approachable.. .. [The] book is long overdue and a major contribution to methods teaching in professional planning.

Regional Studies

This book aims to describe the essential quantitative methods for local and regional analysis and projection. It is best suited for planning practitioners (especially community planners) and students targeting a professional planning career. For practical planners, one key merit for this book is that, despite its breadth in quantitative regional economic methods, it requires no prerequisite of advanced statistics, calculus, or microeconomic background and materials in the book can be well understood for someone without this background. I would recommend this book to (perspective) community planners at various levels, who have interests in understanding the basics of regional population and employment projection and forecasting.. .. Overall, this book provides an important introduction to a rapidly evolving subfield.

Environment and Planning B: Urban Analytics and City Science

In sum, the book adds to the modern approach to neighborhood-centered analysis with a focus on community, geospatial data analysis, and use case scenarios. The book provides ample illustrations, informative and user-friendly. Undergraduate and graduate students, community scientists, planners in practice, and applied researchers will find Planning Support Methods: Urban and Regional Analysis and Projection to be a comprehensive book that can be used for both bottom-up and top-down urban and regional data analysis.

Journal of Planning Education and Research

Klosterman and his colleagues have done a masterful job of assembling and describing the core methods that planners use to understand the dynamics of urban growth and development. No other text combines demographic, economic and land suitability techniques in such an effective manner. This book provides a clear explanation of fundamental planning support methods.

Stephen P. French

I predict—and making accurate predictions is a big part of what this new volume covers—that Planning Support Methods will become an essential ‘go-to’ reference for both beginning students and experienced professionals. New chapters and sections on spatial analysis methods, land suitability analysis methods, and public participation methods help round out this extremely well-written, easy-to-use, and important new work.

John D. Landis

This delightfully hands-on approach will be a breath of fresh air for students and practitioners alike. At long last we have a book that teaches urban planners to be intelligently analytical and ultrapractical.
