Good Intro to "Healthy Cities"

My first thought is that perhaps the reading level for this textbook is a bit higher than 4-8. Still with some explanation the concepts can be understood by the youngsters. I checked this book out of the library, on a whim, as an intro to urban planning and it turned out to be an ideal little book to get an idea of some issues facing cities. Despite being well below my age level, it has given me some ideas that will be used to refine my future study. Generally, I'm glad I came into contact with this text. For an quick, basic overview of what makes a healthy city, this is the one.
