" An essential text for our time . . . Not only a passionately
argued, carefully reasoned dissection of the mess that is becoming
man-made America but also a clear program of steps that can be
taken to enhance the humanity of both our suburbs and our cities
while conserving our rapidly dwindling countryside. Everyone who
cares about the future of our American way of life should read this
book." -- Robert A.M. Stern, Dean, Yale School of Architecture
" [This book offers] a clear-eyed, closely reasoned description by
its founders of the most important movement in American
architecture and city making of this generation: the New Urbanism,
based not upon the ' nostalgia' for which it has been unjustly
criticized but upon solid architectural, historical, and
sociological analysis, and hard common sense." -- Vincent
Scully
""Suburban Nation" dissects the physical design of the suburbs
brilliantly . . . [the authors] set forth more clearly than anyone
has done in our time the elements of good town planning."--"The New
Yorker"
"A powerful manifesto . . . No one has yet produced a work as pithy
or likely to win converts to the cause as this briskly written and
persuasive brief."--"The Boston Sunday Globe"
