"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." -- Publisher description.
