[Theresa · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book sparked creative ideas on how to plan/design a more cohesive town center compared with the strip shopping centers of yesterday. Because I live in a growing small college town and I am involved with zoning, this was very helpful in our goal of establishing a harmonious community for all of our citizens. Since I am a visual learner, the many pictures and illustrations were especially helpful.
