From the reviews:

"This volume provides the first worldwide overview of Planning Support Systems (PSS) and of their application in practice. ... It provides an Internet-based worldwide inventory of innovative examples and successful applications of PSS in a number of different planning contexts. In depth insight into the purposes, content, workings, and applications of a very wide diversity of PSS is given. References to URLs where additional information can be obtained are very useful."
