| Summary |
"California-based architect and planner Peter Calthorpe has moved beyond suburb bashing and published an intelligent, coherent vision of humane, walkable, ecologically sound cities that could shape American development into the 21st century. The Next American Metropolis is equal parts polemic, practical how-to-guidelines, and personal portfolio". -- Robert Gerloff, Utne Reader |
|
"Passionate and practical, holistic and plain speaking, as good a summary of the many problematic and interwoven dimensions of sprawl as has recently appeared.... The polemic flirts with, but stops short of, apocalyptic projection, reverting instead to common sense persuasiveness.... (Calthorpe has) led a courageous, lonely insurgency against the sheer banality of much contemporary suburban planning". -- Alex Krieger, International Contract |
