Site Planning and Design Handbook
Bridges the Gap Between Traditional Methods of Site Planning and Design and The Growing Awareness of Sustainability Issues

By Russ Thomas

A COMPLETE SITE PLANNING HANDBOOK REFLECTING THE CHALLENGES AND CONCERNS OF THE NEW MILLENNIUM

Site Planning and Design Handbook bridges the gap between the traditional methods of site planning and design and our growing awareness of sustainability issues. Meticulously written and heavily illustrated with construction details and graphic standards, the Handbook offers thorough, detailed coverage of:

Site analysis
Environmental assessment
Grading
Design for traffic control
Open space design
Project management issues, including permitting and quality assurance
Historic landscapes
Preserving trees
Storm water management
Materials specifications and standards

Author Thomas Russ, a registered landscape architect and environmental manager, skillfully blends the technical as well as artistic aspects of site design to generate creativity and efficiency in both realms. Russ provides standards and guidelines that will support a design choice and provide a basis for educating clients and the public.

Site Planning and Design Handbook is the perfect vehicle for landscape architects, civil engineers, architects, and planners and developers who want to successfully create within the "new design paradigm."
