If you take a 15-minute online survey to share your interests in continuing education, you can win a free planning or policy book from Rutgers University's Center for Urban Policy Research.

The Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy of Rutgers University is planning fall and winter courses for its Bloustein Online Continuing Education for Planners program. (www.http://policy.rutgers.edu/bocep) Based on an earlier survey of planners in November, the program is now offering courses in urban design, brownfields redevelopment, land use law, transportation planning and management. You can help us select our courses for October through December 2005.

Up to five respondents will win a free book published by Bloustein's Center for Urban Policy Research (CUPR). CUPR Press is a leading publisher of books on urban planning and public policy. They include: The Latest Illustrated Book of Development Definitions, Why Not in My Backyard?, and Imaging the City.
