Rebuilding the American Town
In the scholarship of urbanism, small towns are overlooked and understudied.
Rebuilding the American Town (forthcoming by Routledge Press, December 2024) highlights how smaller municipalities are transforming to serve their communities and meet the future. The book uncovers creative design and planning strategies of nine U.S. towns as they rebuild to remain vibrant, equitable and viable in the face of metropolitan sprawl, population shifts, political division, economic shortfalls and climate change.
Rebuilding the American City
Design and Strategy for the 21st Century Core
Urban redevelopment in American cities is neither easy nor quick. It takes a delicate alignment of goals, power, leadership and sustained advocacy on the part of many. Rebuilding the American City highlights 15 urban design and planning projects in the U.S. that have been catalysts for their downtowns―yet were implemented during the tumultuous start of the 21st century.
