The Redevelopment Handbook: Book Launch, Symposium & Networking Reception

Learn what’s new in the current edition and hear from planners and attorneys on the important issues and special topics in redevelopment today.

The Redevelopment Handbook, co-authored by Stan Slachetka and David Roberts, is the recognized reference on redevelopment in New Jersey and has been used widely by planners, attorneys, public officials, educators, and the public to understand how redevelopment can be used to revitalize communities and advance local and regional planning objectives. APA New Jersey is pleased to have supported the preparation of the new edition of The Redevelopment Handbook, with members of the chapter’s Redevelopment Committee having authored many of the case studies that appear in the handbook along with those authored by other planning professionals and graduate planning students at the Bloustein School.
