"Repairing the American Metropolis" is based on Douglas Kelbaugh's
"Common Place: Toward Neighborhood and Regional Design," first
published in 1997. It is more timely and significant than ever,
with new text, charts, and images on architecture, sprawl, and New
Urbanism, a movement that he helped pioneer. Theory and policies
have been revised, refined, updated, and developed as compelling
ways to plan design the built environment.
This is an indispensable book for architects, urban designers
and planners, landscape architects, architecture and urban planning
students and scholars, government officials, developers,
environmentalists, and citizens interested in understanding and
shaping the American metropolis.
"At once a primer on how architecture, urban design, and
metropolitan planning can be pursued in a key that resonates with
sustainability and wise stewardship of the environment and a
compelling polemic on why such thinking will produce better places
to pursue our livelihoods and live out our lives." - Alex Krieger,
Harvard Graduate School of Design
""Repairing the American Metropolis" is written with such
exquisite clarity and confidence, it is easy to overlook that Doug
Kelbaugh is arguing for nothing less than a fundamental
reconsideration of contemporary American architecture and
planning."--Don Prowler, Princeton University
"This is the most sophisticated critical presentation of the New
Urbanism to be found anywhere."--Andres Duany, Duany Plater-Zyberk
& Company.
Douglas Kelbaugh is Dean of the Taubman College of Architecture
and Urban Planning at the University of Michigan, and former
principal in Kelbaugh, Calthorpe & Associates in Seattle and in
Kelbaugh + Lee in Princeton, New Jersey - firms that won a score of
design awards and competitions. Among many other writings, he
co-authored the national best seller "The Pedestrian Pocket
Book."
