Description: A review of the 1993 Peter Calthorpe book by Scott London.
'The Next American Metropolis' by Peter Calthorpe - A Book Review by Scott London Princeton Architectural Press, 1993, 175 pages , Peter Calthorpe — an innovative San Francisco-based architect, urban designer, land use planner and one of the leading proponents of what is being called the "New Urbanism" — sets forth the principles of building good neighborhoods and communities. Calthorpe describes the book as "part polemic, part tool, part proof by assertion, part manifesto, but mostly, I hope, common sense." It is divided into three sections that move from the general to the specific. The first outlines Calthorpe's guiding philosophy; the second offers detailed design guidelines; and the third presents a number of specific projects — some implemented, some planned, and some turned down — from various cities and communities across the United States.
