The American Coal Council recently reviewed NIMBY Wars on their “CoalBlog”:
“The recently published book, NIMBY Wars: The Politics of Land Use, gives readers a detailed look into the dog-eat-dog, cut-throat, and highly politicized world of land use planning. A short and simple recap of the book goes something like … “preparation is indespensible” … there is no room for the faint-of-heart or the unprepared here, and in this world, pride will go before destruction. In fact, one mis-step can cost millions or get your project flat out rejected.
As the authors of NIMBY Wars – Michael Saint, Robert Flavell, and Patric Fox – clearly demonstrate, the local citizens, special interest groups, and competitive interests that now play a key role in land use planning and politics can make or break your development project.”
