520			_aThis book is a unique approach to understanding urban design through scientific, empirical research. The authors examined more than 100 successful projects throughout North America to identify differences and commonalities, and they discovered universal elements that characterize sustainable urban districts. By pursuing these essential elements, designers and developers can create successful places in their communities. Myriad plans, sections, diagrams, and charts illustrate how each district works at an extremely detailed level. Concrete examples make Grid / Street / Place a must read for anyone interested in the working strategies of urban design --
