New TDR Handbook

For those interested in transfer of development rights (TDR), you'll want to check out a great book I recently came across called The TDR Handbook:  Designing and Implementing Successful Transfer of Development Rights Programs (Island Press 2011).  This substantial work provides a background on how TDRs work, steps to follow in implementing a TDR scheme, reviews some of the larger TDR regimes already out there, and addresses legal issues and state statutes on TDRs.  I found the guide very useful in assisting one of my Clinic clients this spring.
