Great Resource For Projecting Population And Economy - This is a one-stop-shop how-to for projecting population and employment figures, as well as developing location quotients. This is a great resource for city planners and those interested in detailed location analysis. It explains how population and employment projections are made as well as what methods are appropriate and when they should be used, so as not to misrepresent data. Though some of the text itself may be a bit technical from time to time, the mathematics are sound and chart examples are very easy to understand. The population projections, cohort population projections, and employment projection techniques were very easy recreate on spreadsheets with own data. This is a useful reference for any planning office.

On a Different Wave Length - This publication is much more technical than I anticipated. I was expecting that the book would have more examples of ways to evaluate community needs and to generate participatory planning.
