Each issue includes a variety of hands-on materials, instructions, case studies, examples, and a wealth of other information in a range of formats, including pdfs, powerpoints, spreadsheets, audio and video files, and GIS materials.

The Community Planner is edited by M.H. Dorsett, AICP and Dr. Dianc Zahm, AICP, both of whom have extensive experience in planning, education, and publishing, and published by Dorsett Publications, a publishing company specializing in instructional and hands-on materials.
