This book introduces community planning as practiced in the United States, focusing on the comprehensive plan. Sometimes known by other names - especially master plan or general plan - the type of plan described here is the predominant form of general governmental planning in the U.S. Although many government agencies make plans for their own programs or facilities, the comprehensive plan is the only planning document that considers multiple programs and that accounts for activities on all land located within the planning area, including both public and private property. Written by a former president of the American Planning Association, Community Planning is thorough, specific, and timely. It addresses such important contemporary issues as sustainability, walkable communities, the role of urban design in public safety, changes in housing needs for a changing population, and multi-modal transportation planning. Unlike competing books, it addresses all of these topics in the context of the local comprehensive plan. There is a broad audience for this book: planning students, practicing planners, and individual citizens who want to better understand local planning and land use controls. Boxes at the end of each chapter explain how professional planners and individual citizens, respectively, typically engage the issues addressed in the chapter. For all readers, Community Planning provides a pragmatic view of the comprehensive plan, clearly explained by a respected authority.

Clarence S. Stein (1882-1975) was an architect, housing visionary, regionalist, policymaker, and colleague of some of the most influential public figures of the early to mid-twentieth century, including Lewis Mumford and Benton MacKaye. Kristin E. Larsen's biography of Stein comprehensively examines his built and unbuilt projects and his intellectual legacy as a proponent of the "garden city" for a modern age. This examination of Stein's life and legacy focuses on four critical themes: his collaborative ethic in envisioning policy, design, and development solutions; promotion and implementation of "investment housing;" his revolutionary approach to community design, as epitomized in the Radburn Idea; and his advocacy of communitarian regionalism. His cutting-edge projects such as Sunnyside Gardens in New York City; Baldwin Hills Village in Los Angeles; and Radburn, New Jersey, his "town for the motor age," continue to inspire community designers and planners in the United States and around the world.Stein was among the first architects to integrate new design solutions and support facilities into large-scale projects intended primarily to house working-class people, and he was a cofounder of the Regional Planning Association of America. As a planner, designer, and, at times, financier of new housing developments, Stein wrestled with the challenges of creating what today we would term "livable," "walkable," and "green" communities during the ascendency of the automobile. He managed these challenges by partnering private capital with government funding, as well as by collaborating with colleagues in planning, architecture, real estate, and politics.

"Lotte Beese (1903-1988) studeerde aan het Bauhaus in Dessau en werkte achtereenvolgens als architecte in Berlijn, Brno in Tsjecho-Slowakije en op verschillende plaatsen in de Sovjet-Unie. Eind 1934 kwam ze samen met de Nederlandse architect en ontwerper Mart Stam, met wie ze in Moskou was getrouwd, naar Nederland. Vanaf 1946, inmiddels gescheiden van Stam, werkte ze als stedenbouwkundig architecte in Rotterdam. Ze maakte naam met ontwerpen van nieuwe, modernistische woonwijken als Kleinpolder, Pendrecht, Het Lage Land en Ommoord. Deze biografie laat een rijk en bewogen leven zien en een breed, creatief oeuvre. Beese was niet alleen actief als stedenbouwkundig architecte, maar ook een aantal jaren als grafisch ontwerpster en fotografe. Ze had een stem in het toenmalige architectendiscours en liet die onder meer horen in artikelen en voordrachten. 'Wonende zijn wij allen stedebouwers' luidde de provocerende titel van een van haar publicaties. In haar visie moesten de bewoners van hun huis een 'woonstede' maken en zich verantwoordelijk voelen voor hun fysieke woon- en leefomgeving: 'de grond behoort ons allen toe'"--

Ebenezer Howard is recognised as a pioneer of town planning throughout the industrialised world; Britain's new towns, deriving from the garden cities he founded, are his monument. But Howard was more than a town planner. He was first and foremost a social reformer, and his garden city was intended to be merely the first step towards a new social and industrial order based on common ownership of land. This is the first comprehensive study of Howard's theories, which the author traces back to their origins in English puritan dissent and forward to Howard's attempt to build his new society in microcosm at Letchworth and Welwyn.
