Charter of the New Urbanism
by Congress for the New Urbanism, Emily Talen
New!:
Urban & Land Use Planning
The principles of New Urbanism--revised
Charter of the New Urbanism, Second Edition re-introduces the principles of New Urbanism, now updated to reflect the realities of the 21st century. The book's numerous contributors, which include Andrés Duany (co-author of McGraw-Hill Professional's The Smart Growth Manual) and Peter Calthorpe (author of Urbanism in the Age of Climate Change), discuss planning/design strategies that range from large-scale—regional—to small-scale—blocks, streets, and buildings. Revealing case studies pinpoint urban problems and propose alternative solutions.
