In each, context is established, and principles are outlined and illustrated. Topics include urban form, mobility and connectivity, infill neighborhoods design, wealth generation, and promotion of local culture and well?being. Reinforced with detailed case studies, Fundamentals of Sustainable Urban Renewal in Small and Mid?Sized Towns is an ideal resource for municipal planners, architects, civil engineers, and policy makers.
