"Redesigning Cities", by Jonathan Barnett

[SYM Productions 7]

Have any of you read the book?  It's a really interesting book on urbanism and how to city plan.  Many communtities across North America have used it as a guide... and it really gave me insight on how the real guys in the big cities did/do it...

I was actually thinking of starting a CJ (after christmas) based on what I have learned with the book.  Although the public's demands aren't really a factor in Simcity, I would make it one in my decision-making.  I had no problem finding about three copies in our library system in Winnipeg so it shouldn't be too hard for you guys out there to find one at your library.

 

Check it out!

I haven't read it yet, but I'm a fan of Barnett and his New Urbanist ideas (naturally).

For more information (and a review), the APA has a profile of the book on their site.

Haha how did I know you were gonna respond first... Urbanism Man... just kidding... it's cool to be part of a community where you can find a person who is as intersted as you in a certain subject...
