介绍了规划及其影响分析的方法，帮助读者提高收集、分析、和展示数据的能力，掌握如何做、什么时间、在哪里、如何应用适当的方法。

城市和区域规划师的一个重要职责是为我们日常生活的社区制订规划，因此规划师必须具备为决策收集、分析和展示数据的能力，并回答下列关键问题：“谁？”（人口分析）；“做什么？”（经济分析）；“如何负担得起？”（财务分析）；“活动在哪里？”（土地利用分析）和“各地如何连接？”（交通分析）。本书介绍了相关的规划及影响分析方法，规划师在面对大量多样的数据分析需求时，需要掌握多种方法，不但要知道如何做，还得知道什么时间、在哪里、如何应用适当的方法去做。各章配有练习题，有助于进一步熟悉各种分析方法的适用条件和范围，并能够正确地运用。本书可作为高年级本科生或研究生教材，也可供专业规划师参考。
