Urban sprawl and congestion: We all know
it’s a massive problem. But proven, practical solutions often
elude planners and developers. Authors Cynthia Girling and Ronald
Kellett, who teach architecture and landscape architecture, examine
several case studies of ecologically sound communities.
Skinny Streets and Green Neighborhoods shows how
open space, mass transit, businesses and homes — not to
mention wildlife and people — can co-exist in a well-designed
neighborhood.
