Land Development Handbook - Planning, Engineering, and Surveying














by Dewberry & Davis
Hardcover: 1135 pages
Publisher: McGraw-Hill Professional; 3 edition (June 18, 2008)
Language: English
ISBN-10: 0071494375
ISBN-13: 978-0071494373

Book Description:
The first edition of this handbook was published in 1996. For
this version, several of the 41 chapters have been updated, and
the order of presentation has been changed to reflect the way
issues come up in a project. There are six sections: feasibility
and site analysis, conceptual design, schematic design, final
design, plan submission and permitting, and construction. This
is a how-to book that aspires to be both extensive and detailed;
its table of contents alone runs 13 pages. As the title and cover
photo suggest, the authors focus on development of greenfields.
The engineering perspective is dominant, and the book's brief
mentions of smart growth and new ways of designing feel largely
extraneous to the business at hand. Thus, the 51-page chapter
on suburban street design devotes two pages to pedestrians, and
the list of suggested readings in the chapter on development
patterns and principles includes no work published since 1990.
