The planning research digest organizes and provide access to clear, succinct research summaries written in non-technical language and indexed in an intuitive, user-friendly manner. It also functions as a portal to the wider universe of planning research: this site includes links to each publication, and to related research, externally hosted elsewhere on the internet. Together, these capabilities provide planning professionals with both an efficient means to keep abreast of recent research and a convenient way to identify and access individual resources of particular interest.
