The fourth
edition of New Urbanism: Best Practices Guide is the most comprehensive and
up-to-date sourcebook on the ideas and techniques of New Urbanism ever
published. Nowhere will you find a more comprehensive examination of New
Urbanism—its methods, research, and development. Thoroughly revised and
substantially expanded by the editors of New Urban News, this brand new book
explains how New Urbanism came about, what its principles are, and how it is
improving communities in the United States and other countries. The Best
Practices Guide helps architects, planners, urban designers, landscape
architects, builders, developers, public officials, students, and citizens
understand one of the most vital planning movements of our time—a movement
that is reshaping cities, suburbs, small towns, and neighborhoods. Packed with
more than 800 informative photos, plans, tables, and other illustrations, this
book covers the full spectrum of community-building.
