Olson, Brianna. 2009. "Comprehensive Planning for Family-Friendly Communities." Issue Brief. Ithaca, NY: Department of City and Regional Planning, Cornell University.

Comprehensive plans present the needs, goals, and objectives of a community. Families with children have needs in housing, transportation, and community design which may not be adequately addressed without special consideration. This issue brief will discuss how planners can incorporate these considerations into their comprehensive plans, while also providing suggestions on navigating the politics of the process.
