Professional Practice of Urban and Rural Planning in Canada

This study deals with many facets of planning and planners: professional ethics; government planning at all three Canadian levels (federal, provincial, municipal); the legal basis for government planning (development control, legislation, liability); advice on setting up and the day-to-day running of a consulting practice; what is required when the Planner acts as a "professional witness" in a court; and finally, views of future directions for planning practice, including rural and environmental planning as specialization.
