| Description | From the authors of Suburban Nation, this full-color manual explains how to implement the strategies of new urbanism, green design, and urban sustainability. You will learn how to create and enhance mixed-use, pedestrian-friendly communities as an alternative to suburban sprawl. Sprawl, which evolved after World War II, is not a smart growth system--it does not pay for itself financially; it consumes land at an alarming rate; it produces transportation problems; and it promotes social inequity. The Smart Growth Manual presents a clear blueprint for developing cities and suburbs in the most user-friendly, cost-efficient, and environmentally sustainable manner. The book covers preservation of natural amenities and Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED)-Neighborhood Development, and is lavishly illustrated with important examples of built work by leading urban designers. |
