Holiday gift recommendations for your urban planning geek friend or family member (or yourself) from L.A.'s ultra-plan-nerd, Clement Lau.
"It is that time of year when we think about giving and receiving gifts," writes Lau, a Departmental Facilities Planner with the Los Angeles County Department of Parks and Recreation. "For those of you who plan ahead, you have probably already done your shopping on Black Friday and/or Cyber Monday. But if you have not, I would like to share my ideas on the perfect presents for the plannerds in your life."
Lau offers suggestions for books, DVDs, courses, apparel, educational items, and smart-phone extras for stuffing your plannerd's stockings.
