Synopsis

Reorganized to enhance clarity and usefulness, Residential Land Development Practices, Third Edition presents proven techniques and tools for developing vacant land into buildable lots.
Johnson draws on over 30 years of experience as an engineer, consultant, and lecturer to prepare an easy-to-use guide to basic concepts of land planning, subdivision design, and residential standards. He discusses practical aspects of real estate development, such as financing, scheduling, marketing, project approval, and permits. He completes the picture of a successful and sustainable development project by reviewing important issues connected with the bid process, project management, operations, and business practice.
This third edition updates an ASCE Press classic with new illustrations, additional forms and checklists, and two entirely new chapters - one on types of residential land use and another on stormwater management and best management practices - ensuring that Residential Land Development Practices continues to be the best resource of its kind.
