Rural by Design - Planning for Town and Country

When Rural by Design first appeared 20 years ago, it showed how creative, practical land-use planning can help rural and suburban areas keep their character. This new edition updates the book with material on infilling neighborhoods, strengthening town centers, and moving development closer to schools, shops, and jobs. New chapters cover form-based codes, visioning, sustainability, low-impact development, and green infrastructure. Readers will find practical advice about issues shaping the way they live.
