Land use planning is a complex, multi-disciplinary field. Members from each discipline must work together to balance technical issues with numerous competing social and political concerns - orderly growth, efficient provision of services, and environmental health, to name a few. Knowledge of the key principles of land use planning is critical for all involved professionals.

Butterworths Ontario Planning Law and Practice is a one-stop resource on the province's land use planning process.
