"The Handbook is thoroughly comprehensive, addressing virtually every conceivable issue about TDR. It provides copious examples and explanations of when to use TDR in short, readable chapters, particularly for urban redevelopment which few sources have previously explained. It should be on the shelf of every public official, attorney and planner dealing with preservation of open space, natural resources, and the built environment."
David L. Callies, FAICP, author of "Regulating Paradise: Land Use Controls in Hawaii"
"The TDR Handbook will be the primary source on the topic for years to come. The authors provide detailed explanations of the strengths and weaknesses of transfer of development programs, illuminated by useful, insightful case studies with a range of applications from urban design and historic preservation to farmland protection and environmental management."
Frederick Steiner, FASLA, Dean, University of Texas School of Architecture
"The authors have succeeded in making the tricky concepts of TDR understandable and accessible to readers ranging from the casual interested citizen, to experienced planners and practitioners of TDR, to elected policy makers. Especially worthwhile is the thorough review and analysis of the demand and supply dynamics of TDR economics— a most important ingredient to creating effective markets in transferable development rights."
Darren Greve, manager of King County, Washington's TDR program
