Great Resource for Planners, Designers and Community Leaders

This accessible, 200-page book offers a terrific overview of urban design principles and how they can be applied to regenerate/revitalize downtowns and city centers. It covers all the basics in 15 easy-to-digest chapters that contain informative images with detailed captions. Best of all, a collection of case studies offers live examples of how cities as diverse as Kenosha Wisconsin, Portland Oregon and Manchester England (along with another 14 case studies) have successfully integrated the principles outlined in the book.
