Example search progression:

Keywords: Economic development + Global regulations + environmental policy

1. Economic development - 1,800,000 + results
2. Add Global - 53,000 + results. Notice your results are more specific.
3. Add Environmental policy - 18,000+ results. Notice your results are even more specific than before.
4. Limit results to BOOKS under format on the left side of your screen.

You can find many planning reports, zoning reports, land use documents, and other planning resources, many of which have been compiled into books. Some local government agencies have also digitized their planning reports and made them available on the open web. Brainstorm keywords like:

• topic/location + report
• topic/location + land use
• topic/location + planning
• topic/location + master plan
