[Massplanners] [External] Planning Book Recommendations

[Rachel B]

Hi Everyone!
I'm sharing a planning book list that was started while I was in grad
school at UMB a few years ago. Some of them are textbooks that your intern
may already have/will have and others are recommended readings from
professors.
Here is a link to the Google spreadsheet:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1wJQPGlzyI1uarGgkA1LIEQWUOJcld4Sl0b4IRBqnFek/edit?usp=sharing

And I've attached the Excel file as well. Fingers crossed one of them
works! Best of luck to your intern on their journey!

Best,
Rachel Benson
Town of Wrentham Director of Planning & Econ. Devel.
