| Abstract | Although "smart growth" and "new urbanism" are in planners' vocabulary, their implementation is problematic. Gathering examples of proven practice, that is, projects and concepts that have been succes...ful and remain relevant to current conditions, this compendium presents design ideas that could improve American cities. In fact, the volume's three designer-planner-editors--Andres Duany, Elizabeth Plater-Zybek, and Robert Alminana--consider this reference to be a response to an emergency situation, essential for urban planners, architects, designers, and policymakers dealing with such issues as sprawl and car dominance. Its predecessor is the 1922 publication The American Vitruvius: Civic Art. Presented in an oversize volume (9.5x12.5"), material is arranged descending in scale from region, to neighborhood, to street, to building; and each project is fully illustrated and described.
