Sommario/riassunto

Practical how-to information for conservation-minded urban-planning professionals is provided in this invaluable guide. The importance of natural lands or open space in master-planned communities--either in the suburbs or on the edge of existing cities--is thoroughly explained and coupled with examples of conservation-oriented housing developments that incorporate this key component.
