    Can anyone suggest any books or websites that I can use to brush up on key urban planning principles?

    Are you more interested in policy or design? Or both?

    For policy, a good one is Managing Growth in American Communities by Douglas Porter. Cities for People by Jan Gehl is probably the best book on urban design I’ve ever read. And, of course, everyone interested in planning should read The Death and Life of Great American Cities at some point.
