Three essay questions. Please answer the two required questions. Then, select a third essay question from the four choices listed below. Each essay response should be a minimum of 500 words. The exam is open book and open note, but your exam answers must be your own. You may use your assignments and current events, as well. You may not use ChatGPT, or any other generative AI, in the preparation of your assignment. This is an individual assignment. Group work or collaboration on exam answers is prohibited. Please carefully read the rubric and consider how the course can help you provide the specific information you need to craft an excellent essay. For example, for “understanding of planning law concepts”, the readings might provide good support. For “analysis of case studies/legal precedents”, you might draw on the readings and also your case analysis assignment. For use of evidence and examples, you might draw on your current events, the public hearing you attended, etc. Remember that we are looking for critical thinking and originality in your responses as well. Proper APA citation is required. See Perdue OWL APA page for guidance: https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/research_and_citation/apa_style/apa_formatting_and_style_guide/index.htmlLinks to an external site.

Explain the sequential steps involved in the land use planning process, highlighting the key considerations, stakeholders, and legal frameworks at each stage. Using real-world examples or case studies, analyze how the land use planning process interacts with broader social, economic, and environmental factors to shape land development outcomes.

Use the questions as headings. List your references after each essay rather than providing one big reference list at the end. You should not do any outside research in developing your essays. The text is your primary reference, supplemented with other course materials and assignments. You may also use personal experiences for context and to demonstrate critical thinking and originality. But they should be secondary material in your response. The “land use planning process” in question 2 is purposefully broad.
