Talk:Comprehensive planning

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I was thinking I could make some improvements to this article and maybe give it a little more detail. I was thinking of actually defining what a comprehensive plan is and how it is used. I would also like to talk about the process behind creating a comprehensive plan. These are just my ideas for right now, and I am open to any suggestions if anyone has any.

[edit] Edit

I have updated this article and have included the planning process. Let me know if you have any suggestions or if you think I should go into more detail. (Str0426 (talk) 19:56, 27 February 2008 (UTC))

[edit] History

I am thinking of adding a history section to this article. Does anyone have anything specific they would like to see? I think I will just cover when the first comp plan was done and how it has been challenged through court cases perhaps. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Str0426 (talk • contribs) 19:33, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] US-centric article?

I'm not very clear about what the scope of this article is, but would I be correct in thinking that "Comprehensive planning" is primarily an American term? If so, this needs to be made clear in the opening sentence, for example, "Comprehensive planning is a term used by land use planners in the United States to describe a process...".

From what I can tell from the article, this seems to describe the process that in the United Kingdom is known as Development Planning. DWaterson (talk) 19:34, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Legal Basis

I added a section to the article to provide a legal basis for comprehensive planning. I only included the statutes and laws, but if it is neceaary I could add Supreme Court Cases if anyone thiks it is necessary. Str0426 (talk) 17:54, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
