摘要:

"Founders of the Congress for the New Urbanism, Andres Duany and Elizabeth Plater-Zyberk assess sprawl's costs to society, be they ecological, economic, aesthetic, or social. This book is a lively critical lament, and an entertaining lesson on the distinctions between postwar suburbia - characterized by housing clusters, strip shopping centers, office parks, and parking lots - and the traditional neighborhoods that were built as a matter of course until mid-century. It indicts the design and development industries for the fact that America no longer builds towns. Most important, though, it is a book that also offers us solutions."--BOOK JACKET.

I am reading this book for the second time. It's more than just a criticism of the vapidness of the suburbs. It's a constructive criticism of how sprawl (-vs- good urban planning) is a bad plan and headed toward failure: The overuse of resources and the separation of land use presumes the insustainability...
