Randall Arendt's work has shaped a generation of planners,
designers, and landscape architects. In Envisioning Better
Communities, he brings his insights to a broader public, with a
profusely illustrated demonstration of how local officials,
planning commissioners, and everyday citizens can work to make
their communities more attractive, more habitable, and more
sustainable. Despite the widespread acceptance of good design and
planning principles throughout the professions, too many of our
towns and rural areas remain needlessly ugly and inefficient. In
side by side comparisons of similar places and kinds of buildings,
Arendt shows that we need not live amid sprawling, characterless
visual blight. Simple design choices and effective municipal
decisions can have tremendous impacts on the quality of our
communities. Written in Arendt's well-known clear, accessible,
nontechnical style, this book creates a sense of hope for those who
face the everyday challenges of working with developers and
landowners to create places that make economic, environmental, and
aesthetic sense.Arendt shows us that with diligence,
thoughtfulness, and care, we can make our communities better in
countless ways.
