New Urbanism: Best Practices Guide

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. It is the most comprehensive examination of New Urbanism—its methods, research, and development. Thoroughly revised and substantially expanded by the editors of New Urban News, this 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.
