"NIMBY
Wars: The Politics of Land Use"
NSSGA is proud to offer members Saint Consulting Group's new
book, "NIMBY Wars: The Politics of Land Use." Written by
Michael Saint, Robert Flavell and Patrick Fox, NIMBY Wars
advances the concept that practitioners of land use politics
practice politics - the process by which citizens decide who
gets what. Land use politics is based on citizen advocacy,
not professional lobbying or presentation. Maureen McAvey,
Executive Vice President of the Urban Land Institute said
the following about this book, "NIMBY wars and citizen
engagement are here to stay. Politics, rational and
irrational, often dramatically impact local land use
decisions. This book outlines the strategies and details the
tactics that are used by opponents and proponents of
projects. Illustrated with examples and real-life
situations, the book offers the opportunity to plan ahead
and gain support for good projects before they are overtaken
by fear mongering and opponents." Saint Consulting is the
only firm in the world with a division dedicated exclusively
to the politics of obtaining aggregate quarrying and mining
permits. The list price for the book is $29.95. However
NSSGA is offering the book at a deeply discounted price of
$18.50 plus shipping and handling. Please contact Dale
