by: Walter Martin Hosack
Abstract: A fully updated edition of the best resource for land development analysis, planning, and decision-making. This revised guide now enables you to calculate the development capacity and construction costs of both vacant and developed land. The book offers a new focus sustainability, taking into consideration the surrounding environment and the preservation of open space.Land Development Calculations, Second Edition explains the information fields on the 41 interactive spreadsheets on the accompanying CD-ROM. These are used to forecast the development capacity of vacant land based on data entered in the design specification panel of one or more spreadsheets for three categories of shelter–residential, non-residential, and mixed use.
