Regulations dictate urban design and development at the local, state, and federal level. Planetizen Courses will bring you up to speed with a broad spectrum of regulations, from signage to cannabis businesses. Understand how to draft regulations and present them to policymakers and the public, as well as how regulatory systems govern planning decisions.
