Editorial Reviews
From the Publisher
Especially useful for architects, planners, builders, and developers, the case studies in this book show how smart growth can pay off economically. They also reveal trends and standards for developing projects that provide a sense of place, use land efficiently without compromising livability, and that can pass the twin tests of governmental approval and marketability.
