"Written by respected members of the premier non-profit group promoting livability, Partners for Livable Communities (representing 1,000 organizations), The Livable City gives you innovative tools that help you get a handle on the problems of cities today: traffic congestion, urban sprawl, disaffected citizens, physical decay, institutional breakdown, crime.".

It's a resource for urban designers, planners, architects, elected officials, business leaders, civic leaders, landscape architects, students, and anyone concerned with the condition of urban communities, anywhere in the world."--BOOK JACKET.
