AICP Study Materials
The PA Chapter and its Professional Development Committee have developed a set of study notes to help planners who are preparing to take the AICP Exam. The notes are based on several sources and address case law, theory, planning processes, public participation techniques, urban design, housing, budgeting, growth management techniques, zoning, subdivision/land development ordinances, transportation planning, recreation planning, economic development, environmental issues, quantitative analysis techniques, and demographics. The notes are an excellent starting point for someone preparing for the AICP Exam, and were compiled over several years by Lee Slusser and Dave McFarland. In addition to the notes, we have provided a link to study materials on statistics, demographics, and census data prepared by Dr. Kurt Paulsen. Many thanks to those who contributed to these materials.
