Book Reviews of Community By Design: New Urbanism for Suburbs and Small Communities
Book Review: Suggests ways to make our communities better
Summary: 5 Stars
I like this book because it suggests ways to make our communities better. I really like books that talk about how we can improve the status quo and/or better alternatives to the status quo.
Summary of Community By Design: New Urbanism for Suburbs and Small Communities

*Case studies present clear solutions for typical suburban problems: the need for pedestrian access, the lack of parking, the presence of industrial-park eyesores, and the issue of how to create a "sense of place"
*Illustrations take architects and planners step-by-step through the design and development process
