Product Description
Synopsis
An agenda for thriving urban centers, the San Francisco-based Congress for the New Urbanism is a leading force for modern design that encourages viable neighborhoods, conserves natural environments, and preserves our architectural heritage. "Charter of the New Urbanism" introduces you to the work of the world-class planners, architects and other professionals who are making the new urbanism happen. Charter contributors, including Andres Duany, Peter Calthorpe, and Liz Moule, explain strategies that range from large-scale, regional, to small-scale: blocks, streets and buildings. Revealing case studies help you understand the impact of geography, economics, development and urban patterns, public and private uses, transportation and pedestrian access, housing, building densities and land uses, codes, parks, shared use, safety, preservation and renewal, community identity and much more in this invaluable resource for design professionals.

About the Author
The Congress for the New Urbanism, headquartered in San Francisco, CA, is a rapidly growing nonprofit advocacy organization whose mission is to promote the restoration of existing urban centers and towns, encourage communities of real neighborhoods and diverse districts, conserve national environments, and preserve our built legacy.

3.0 out of 5 stars brochure-type publication with poor print quality, 26 Mar 2002
The book clearly celebrates the coming together of a group of utopian thinking architects. They have grand views of a more garden-city like suburban build, to replace American Sprawl. The pictues and images can be found on their website, the book does not acknowledge the photographs or indicate the location of grand schemes. It is more a means by which architects and planners can offer opinions and celebrate their coming together. Probably a necessary text for a library.
