<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>For a decade, <i>Suburban Nation </i>has given voice to a growing movement in North America to put an end to suburban sprawl and replace the last century's automobile-based settlement patterns with a return to more traditional planning. Founders of the Congress for the New Urbanism, Andres Duany and Elizabeth Plater-Zyberk are at the forefront of the movement, and even their critics, such as Fred Barnes in <i>The Weekly Standard</i>, recognized that <i>Suburban Nation </i>is likely to become this movement's bible. A lively lament about the failures of postwar planning, this is also that rare book that offers solutions: an essential handbook (<i>San Francisco Chronicle</i>). <p/>This tenth anniversary edition includes a new preface by the authors.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"As compelling and important as Jane Jacobs's <i>The Death and Life of Great American Cities </i>and Venturi, Brown, and Izenour's <i>Learning from Las Vegas . . . </i>Everyone who cares about the future of our American way of life should read this book." --<i>ROBERT A. M. STERN, Dean, Yale School of Architecture</i> <p/>"Among the wittiest and most perceptive books about sprawl. You couldn't ask for a better trio to guide you through any part of the American built environment." --<i>HAROLD HENDERSON, Planning</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>Andres Duany</b> and <b>Elizabeth Plater-Zyberk</b> lead a firm that has designed more than 200 new neighborhoods and community revitalization plans, most famously, Seaside, Florida. <p/><b>Jeff Speck is </b>director of town planning for the firm.</p>
