Suburban Nation, 10th Anniversary Edition - The Rise of Sprawl and the Decline of the American Dream

Informationen zum Autor Andres Duany, Elizabeth Plater-Zyberk, and Jeff Speck Klappentext 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 " Suburban Nation is likely to become this movement's bible." A lively lament about the failures of postwar planning, this is also that rare book that offers solutions: "an essential handbook" ( San Francisco Chronicle ). This tenth anniversary edition includes a new preface by the authors.
