Northstar Sierra Club

This year the Sierra Club in Minnesota created a website for Twin Cities residents and communities that explains local planning processes for those who want to get involved in local landuse decisions. The site gives visitors (1) a basic understanding of community planning by walking them through planning processes and terms used in “Anytown, U.S.A,Rdquo; and (2) a searchable map where citizens of the sevencounty metro area can find out more about planning processes and land use policies in their own county, city or township.

Anytown, USA includes a colorful 2-page “Activist’s Guide to Land Use Planning” packed with summary information. The searchable map quickly allows one to see web sites for specified municipal planning departments, planning flow charts, land use maps, and contact information for staff and elected officials.
