Today's Comprehensive Plan: An Adaptive Approach

Today’s Comprehensive Plan: An Adaptive Approach introduces a practical framework for creating comprehensive plans designed for implementation, adaptation, and long-term success. Written by John Zeanah, Principal and Founder of Interval, the book draws on the Memphis 3.0 planning process to provide actionable strategies for building more effective, resilient communities.

About Interval

Led by John Zeanah, FAICP, Interval was established to help cities plan, build, and implement through our core services of writing and updating comprehensive plans, developing zoning and regulatory codes, and improving development processes from permitting through inspection.

Our work turns policy into practice: aligning codes with plan goals, removing barriers to housing production, and building process improvements that cities can put to work immediately. The result is measurable progress, clearer plans, stronger codes, and faster, more predictable development processes.
