Theory and policies have been revised, refined, updated, and developed as compelling ways to plandesign the built environment.This is an indispensable book for architects, urban designers and planners, landscape architects, architecture and urban planning students and scholars, government officials, developers, environmentalists, and citizens interested in understanding and shaping the American metropolis.
