New urbanism and American planning : the conflict of cultures

Talen, Emily 1958- (Author).

Summary: "Presents the history of American planners' quest for good cities and shows how New Urbanism is a culmination of ideas that have been evolving since the nineteenth century. Identifies four approaches to city-making: incrementalism, plan-making, planned communities, and regionalism. Shows how these cultures connect, overlap, and conflict"--Provided by publisher.
