Description: The 50 case studies presented in this book prove that urban design - in spite of a sluggish economy, a sleepy construction industry and a largely unsympathetic Congress - has played an effective role in rebuilding American cities over the past two years. And the strategies and tools used to make these projects succeed can be transferred to other projects currently in the planning stage.
