Sommario/riassunto

""The best streets in the world's villages, towns, and cities-whether modest or grand-continually remind one that simplicity is part of the recipe for success in this art. The advice of Victor Dover and John Massengale, their historic examples and their own designs, reflect that simplicity.""-From the Foreword by HRH The Prince of Wales  ""We are going to start walking around the places we live again, and as that occurs and becomes normal, we will rapidly redevelop a demand for higher quality in building at the human scale.""-From the Afterword by James Howard Kun
