In the same vein, also prominent in this edition are definitions, illustrations, and legal annotations relating to sustainability, new urbanism and green communities, as well as pedestrian and bicycle-related terms, reflecting a new focus on these long-neglected forms of transportation, Various housing types and living accommodations are reexamined and redefined where necessary, in light of changing development and demographic patterns.

• Provides valuable advice and guidance to planners, administrators and attorneys. Meant for those who prepare, interpret, administer, or litigate zoning, subdivision, site plan, or environmental ordinances.

• In order to enhance an understanding of how the definitions work in practice, the authors of this new edition, the fourth, not only updated and revised existing definitions and added new ones. They also researched the law and annotated over 90% of the definitions with legal references.
