New Urbanism and American Planning presents the history of
American planners' quest for good cities and shows how New Urbanism
is a culmination of ideas that have been evolving since the
nineteenth century. In her survey of the last hundred or so years
of urbanist ideals, Emily Talen identifies four approaches to
city-making, which she terms 'cultures': incrementalism,
plan-making, planned communities, and regionalism. She shows how
these cultures connect, overlap, and conflict and how most of the
ideas about building better settlements are recurrent.
In the first part of the book Talen sets her theoretical
framework and in the second part provides detailed analysis of her
four 'cultures'.She concludes with an assessment of the successes
and failures of the four cultures and the need to integrate these
ideas as a means to promoting good urbanism in America.
