Routledge Building the New Urbanism - Urban Planning Book

Explore the impact of one of the most influential movements in suburban design, planning, and development. Building the New Urbanism provides a deep sociological investigation into why this movement has emerged and how it seeks to reform conventional suburban development through the concept of building community. This volume places the growth of New Urbanism within the broader context of urban and suburban policy and development history. It offers a detailed account of the movement's founding and its ongoing development, linking its progress to the larger American metropolitan landscape. For students, professionals, and researchers interested in architecture and land use, this book offers a unique perspective on how modern design shapes our living environments. It examines the professions and economic factors that drive these changes in our cities and suburbs.
