Costing Sustainable Community Planning Guide and Tool

The Tool for Costing Sustainable Community Planning was created to  allow a user to estimate the major costs of community development, particularly those that change with different forms of development (e.g., linear infrastructure), and to compare alternative development scenarios.

This tool is geared towards estimating “planning-level” costs and revenues associated with the residential component of a development, although financial impacts of commercial and other types of development can be incorporated provided that infrastructure requirements are specified correctly.
