CHOICE Review
Growing interest in the smart growth and new urbanism movements has been reflected in a surge of related publications in recent years. Among the best is this book by three prominent urban design practitioners/educators: Brown (City College of New York); Dixon, a chief planner for post-Katrina New Orleans; and the late Oliver Gillham. Part 1 provides an introduction to urban design and a concise history of urban development, including 20th-century decentralization and recentralization. This section ends with a set of practical urban design principles drawing largely from the works of K. Lynch and J. Jacobs. Part 2 illustrates these principles, using as case studies 70 winners of the American Institute of Architects Honor Award in Regional and Urban Design from the past 10 years. Cases are organized in six themed sections. Each section includes an overview of the theme, case descriptions, and a discussion of how cases apply the authors' urban design principles. Cases are profusely illustrated with both black-and-white and color images. This work could ably serve as a guide for urban design professionals and laypersons, or as a textbook for undergraduate or graduate students of architecture, urban design, or planning. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Lower-level undergraduates through graduate students, professionals, and general readers. B. Stoffel Illinois State UniversityNotas de autor provistas por Syndetics

For more than 20 years he led Goody Clancy's planning and urban design practice, which earned the American Planning Association's 2013 Firm Award for Excellence in Planning. In 2014, David joined Stantec to initiate a broadly interdisciplinary practice to support communities in meeting the unprecedented opportunities and challenges of this rapidly evolving urban era.
