Books Rural by Design, Maintaining Small Town Character by Randall Arendt "This book should be a must read for anyone involved in planning!" Kirt Manecke, Founder and President, LandChoices To order, visit your local book store or Randall Arendt's website.  This 440-page volume is packed with photographs, site plans, aerial perspective sketches, and cross-sections illustrating practical solutions to the challenges facing many communities located in the suburbanizing rural fringes of metropolitan regions all around the country. With more than 360 illustrations and 38 case studies of successful developments which have protected community character in 21 states, Rural by Design is considered by many to be the seminal work in its field.This book examines a broad spectrum of "nitty-gritty" design topics in a highly readable, lively style. Topics covered range from sewage disposal and farmland preservation to greenway planning for interconnected open space and the design of affordable housing and rural subdivision streets. And it takes an in-depth look at how to reinvent the design elements of the "traditional town" in today's communities. Courtesy Randall Arendt, www.greenerprospects.com |
