This toolkit contains a collection of visioning, design, and planning tools to aid in planning sustainable communities. It includes Geographic Information System (GIS) programs, predictive models, impact analysis programs, visualization programs and relevant information materials.

This is a collection of technical and non-technical tools and resources, such as community visioning programs, GIS programs, interactive internet community networks, information resources, and group consensus building tools.

This list is not meant to be exclusionary; it simply represents some of the tools we have collected over time.
