"Presents the history of American planners' quest for good cities and shows how New Urbanism is a culmination of ideas that have been evolving since the nineteenth century. Identifies four approaches to city-making: incrementalism, plan-making, planned communities, and regionalism. Shows how these cultures connect, overlap, and conflict"--Provided by publisher. |
