Comprehensive Planning 101
Implementation Measures Fall Into Three Broad Categories:

Development regulations that control the location, form and character of


1 private projects

2 Capital projects which are financed, designed, built and maintained by


governments

3 Programs that in some cases involve active government participation and


in other cases simply mean endorsement or coordination of voluntary
private efforts

Effective implementation is the difference between having a good plan


on paper and having a great community on the ground.
