"The purpose of this compilation is to support the curriculum and research endeavors of undergraduate and graduate students pursuing a career in urban planning.

This is a field that benefits from such extensive online presence, as it captures documents, maps, and other material produced by various government, educational, and nonprofit agencies but not widely disseminated by commercial publishers.

Also, focus is placed on U.S. planning trends and practices, though some international resources are included."
