Suburban Nation e-bog

For a decade, Suburban Nation has given voice to a growing movement in North America to put an end to suburban sprawl and replace the last century's automobile-based settlement patterns with a return to more traditional planning. Founders of the Congress for the New Urbanism, Andres Duany and Elizabeth Plater-Zyberk are at the forefront of the movement, and even their critics, such as Fred Barnes in The Weekly Standard, recognized that "e;Suburban Nation is likely to become this movement's bible."e; A lively lament about the failures of postwar planning, this is also that rare book that offers solutions: "e;an essential handbook"e; (San Francisco Chronicle). This tenth anniversary edition includes a new preface by the authors.
