This book shows you how to combine the best design principles of
the past with the technological advances of the present to achieve
a more satisfying community environment. Anton Nelessen advocates
design by democracy: involving citizens and public officals in
planning and designing their own communities. He describes
techniques planners can use to help residents create a common
vision. Nelessen has successfully used these techniques aEURO" the
Visual Preference Survey and Hands-on Model Building Workshop
aEURO" in seminars and workshops for more than 25 years. Visions
for a New American Dream outlines a seven-step planning and design
process for creating three basic types of traditional small
communities: hamlets, villages, and neighborhoods. Nelessen
presents 10 design principles aEURO" ranging from humanism and
ecological responsibility to open space design and community focus
aEURO" to help planners and designers turn a community's common
vision into reality. Visions for a New American Dream is
extensively illustrated with photographs, diagrams, and maps. This
is must reading for all planners, designers, public officals, and
citizens who want to envision and direct the future of their
communities.
