He shows how people are creating, improving, and caring for walkable communities. There is no one-size-fits-all approach. Starting conditions differ radically, as do the attitudes and interests of residents. To draw the most important lessons, Langdon spent time in six communities that differ in size, history, wealth, diversity, and education, yet share crucial traits: compactness, a mix of uses and activities, and human scale. [...] In these communities, Langdon examines safe, comfortable streets; sociable sidewalks; how buildings connect to the public realm; bicycling; public transportation; and incorporation of nature and parks into city or town life. In all these varied settings, he pays special attention to a vital ingredient: local commitment." -- $c From publisher's website. 650 0 $a Pedestrian areas $z United States $x Planning. 650 0 $a Community development $z United States. 650 0 $a City planning $z United States. 650 7 $a City planning. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00862177 650 7 $a Community development. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00870818 650 7 $a Pedestrian areas $x Planning. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01056371 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20210304013118.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=3ECA5D10475911E7B35354A3DAD10320 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
