Small and mid-sized suburban towns house two-thirds of the world
s population and current modes of planning for these municipalities
are facing challenges of both philosophy and form. Common
approaches that have prevailed in past decades no longer sustain
new demands and require innovative thinking. Rather than dismissing
small and mid-sized towns as unattractive suburban sprawl, Planning
Small and Mid-Sized Towns offers ideas and methods on how small
isolated and edge towns can be designed and retooled into
sustainable, affordable and adaptable communities.
Coverage includes:
- the evolution of small towns
- mobility and connectivity
- neighborhood and sustainable dwelling design
- town centers and urban renewal
- economic sustainability and wealth generation, and more.
With numerous case studies from North America and Europe and
over 150 color photographs, maps, and illustrations, Planning Small
and Mid-Sized Towns is a valuable, practical resource for
professional planners and urban designers, as well as students in
these disciplines. "
