Village Homes:
A Community by Design

by Mark Francis

www.islandpress.org/bookstore/details.php?prod_id=197

Part of the Landscape Architecture Foundation's "Land and Community Design Case Study Series," this book presents the Village Homes community in Davis, California and discusses its successes and its limitations. As a former resident and longtime observer of the community, author Mark Francis is sympathetic to Village Homes and its goals, but he doesn't shrink from criticism. His critiques of community living help to explain why replicating Village Homes is less simple than one might imagine.
