"""The book begins by outlining a series of principles that structure the ecological and energy goals for the community. It then develops prototypical solutions for designing, building and retrofitting neighborhoods. It is a useful text book and urban design reference for architects, strategic decision makers, scholars, urban designers, city planners and those concerned with social and housing studies.""— Lonaard, Issue 13, Volume 3, January 2013"
