What makes a good neighborhood? Can one neighborhood be good for
all people? Brower's study examines the variable image of the ideal
residential area in contemporary and earlier writings, from utopian
visions and popular media to historical records and the findings of
social science research. Brower identifies four common ideal
neighborhood types, each providing a distinct and specific
residential experience that suits a particular way of life. He
details the characteristics of each of these good neighborhoods,
and argues that their coexistence in a single urban environment is
not only possible, but desirable; it creates a healthy variety of
residential areas that, together, suit the needs and desires of
different urban dwellers. This absorbing and timely study will be
of interest to scholars and professionals in urban studies, urban
design and planning, environmental studies, environment psychology,
and sociology.
