The current Third Edition of the Sprawl Guide was first posted on June 9, 2000. The Third Edition includes a reorganization of the Guide, with improved graphics & site navigation, along with enhanced content. Planning intern Jennifer Bookhout developed the new graphics and assisted with updating the contents. Bookhout is a graduate planning student at Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario.
The previous Second Edition of the Guide was posted on July 8, 1998. Assistance with preparing the Second Edition was provided by planning intern Richard Boyers. Boyers' experience included work as a planner for the Delaware Valley (PA) Regional Planning Commission, and the National Park Service Mid-Atlantic Regional Office.
The Sprawl Resource Guide was first posted on the PlannersWeb on April 15, 1997. It was compiled by Wayne Senville, Publisher & Editor of the Planning Commissioners Journal. Senville has served as a member and chair of the Burlington, Vermont, Planning Commission (1991-1999) and was named "citizen planner of the year" by the Northern New England Chapter of the American Planning Association and the Vermont Planners Association in 1999. Prior to that, Senville was Director of Local & Regional Planning for the Vermont Department of Housing & Community Affairs (1988-1991) and a planner in the National Park Service Mid-Atlantic Regional Office (1984-1987).

A Note from the Editor of the Sprawl Guide:
If you have already browsed through the Sprawl Guide you're undoubtedly aware that the Guide is based on an assumption that sprawl is a major problem facing communities across the U.S., Canada, and beyond. The Guide also undoubtedly reflects my own beliefs and biases (as confirmation of that, let me introduce as Exhibit A, the bumper sticker I've had on my car the past eight years).
Nevertheless, I have made every effort to see that the Sprawl Guide contains sound and useful information, and also airs views of those who see sprawl in a different light.
