The American Planning Association conducted national surveys in 2005 and 2007 to assess planners' awareness about energy and climate-change issues, and the integration of these issues in planning. Certified planner Shuford presents overviews of energy efficiency, renewable energy, the science of climate change, and how to measure a local greenhouse gas footprint. The second section discusses strategic intervention points and tools for guiding decisions in the planning process, and features case studies of cities' approaches (e.g., land-use studies, 'green' building programs, climate action plans, and promotion of efficient/ alternative transportation). The volume includes color maps of risk scenarios, survey details, and a companion online database. Referenced but not indexed. Annotation c2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
