The move to liveable communities--ideal "small towns" and neighborhoods where people work, live, play, and walk from place to place--is on. Profit from what a visionary group of architects leading this movement has learned about designing new "small towns" in Peter Katz's The New Urbanism. You'll discover the amazing potential for this kind of work as
well as case studies, site plans, project analyses, and 180 beautiful
photographs. This unique reference also tackles--and answers--the critical
issues of crime, health, traffic, environmental degradation, and economic
vitality and opens a startling window on the look and feel of future
communities. Every designer can profit from this guide to building the utopias of tomorrow--today! 288 pp.
