Creating Walkable Places

Richly illustrated with color photographs, site plans, and diagrams, this new book explains how to create pedestrian-friendly, mixed-use developments. Discover how to get financing for mixed-use, new urbanist, and higher-density projects that don't ?fit the mold, ? but are the kinds of environments where people want to live, work, play, and shop. Learn about the role of the public sector and the changes that can be made to encourage human-scaled projects, how to reconfigure old places and plan and design new projects, and what to do about parking. Case studies describe walkable, mixed-use town centers, and pedestrian-focused communities in urban and suburban settings.Schmitz, Adrienne is the author of 'Creating Walkable Places ' with ISBN 9780874209389 and ISBN 0874209382.
