Urban Planning Conservation and Preservation

"A comprehensive manual for the planning and architectural professional, Urban Planning Conservation and Preservation covers the rehabilitation and preservation not only of buildings, but of entire neighborhoods and cities. This book provides two valuable sets of tools. The first helps you analyze key elements of the urban environment - street grids, public areas, building styles, land uses, and other factors.

Then this guide integrates these analytic elements into strategies for working with public and commercial interests to bring about beneficial preservation programs that save city neighborhoods."--BOOK JACKET.
