Planning for Environment, Economy, and Community

by Timothy Beatley;  Kristy Manning

www.islandpress.org/bookstore/details.php?prod_id=544

The authors present a holistic and compelling approach to repairing and enhancing communities, introducing a vision of "sustainable places" that extends beyond traditional architecture and urban design to consider not just physical layout of a development but the broad set of ways in which communities are organized and operated. Although this book doesn't break much new ground in exploring the themes of sprawl, social equity, and communities that work, it does pull all the pieces together in a comprehensive and accessible text.
