Book Overview

Current patterns of land use and development are at once socially, economically, and environmentally destructive. Sprawling low-density development literally devours natural landscapes while breeding a pervasive sense of social isolation and exacerbating a vast array of economic problems. As more and more counties begin to look more and more the same, hope for a different future may seem to be fading. But alternatives do exist.

A good primer but not a best practice handbook

Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
The scholarly work in this area has evolved a lot during the ten years since this book was published. If you are interested in the early history and development, this is a good choice. If you want to learn what can be done to improve your community's sustainability, however, this is not it -you'll be disappointed. Read "Taking sustainable cities seriously" by Portney (2004) instead. More inspiring and useful examples in there.
