Everyone is calling for smart growth...but what exactly is it?

In The Smart Growth Manual, two leading city planners provide a thorough answer. From the expanse of the metropolis to the detail of the window box, they address the pressing challenges of urban development with easy-to-follow advice and broad array of best practices.

With their landmark book Suburban Nation, Andres Duany and Jeff Speck "set forth more clearly than anyone has done in our time the elements of good town planning" (The New Yorker). With this long-awaited companion volume, the authors have organized the latest contributions of new urbanism, green design, and healthy communities into a comprehensive handbook, fully illustrated with the built work of the nation's leading practitioners.

"The Smart Growth Manual is an indispensable guide to city planning. This kind of progressive development is the only way to fully restore our economic strength and create new jobs, new industries, and a renewed ability to compete in the first rank of world economies." -- Gavin Newsom, Mayor of San Francisco

"Authors Andres Duany, Jeff Speck, and Mike Lydon have created The Smart Growth Manual, a resource which not only explains the overarching ideals of smart growth, but a manual that takes the time to show smart growth principles at each geographic scale (region, neighborhood, street, building). I highly recommend it] as a part of any community participant's or urban planner's desktop references." -- LocalPlan.org

Planetizen Top 10 Books - 2010
On the ninth annual list of the ten best books in urban planning, design and development:
"The goal of The Smart Growth Manual is clear from page 1: to create a guidebook for smart growth following the pattern of the Charter for New Urbanism. Duany, Speck and Lydon have achieved that in spades (the Charter is included in the appendix, in case we missed the connection). It even clears up some of the architectural arguments that attach themselves to New Urbanists, such as this segment of Section 14.1, Regional Design; 'While new buildings should not be compelled to mimic their historic predecessors, designers should pay attention to local practices regarding materials and colors, roof pitches, eave lengths, window-to-wall ratios, and the socially significant relationship of buildings to their site and the street; these have usually evolved in intelligent response to local conditions.' In addition to making the old 'traditional vs. modern' argument irrelevant, Duany, Speck and Lydon have truly managed to boil down the best parts of current practices into a highly readable, portable book."

Beautiful Watch, But It Doesn't Work and Customer Support is Non-Existent
Color: Sliver Band Blue Face-5009, Color: Sliver Band Blue Face-5009
Update: However, after two weeks I noticed the watch would stop working. I would reset the time and it would work for a day or two and stop again. It happened several times. I tried contacting the seller through Amazon twice but they never replied. The phone number listed by Amazon's Contact the Seller doesn't work. I tried calling it twice and all I got was a message saying that my call could not be connected. I contacted Amazon and they authorized a return and now I'm going to have to find a different watch from a different Amazon seller. I'm extremely disappointed because I really loved this watch! I can not in good conscience ever recommend this brand of watches so I changed my review form a 5 star to a 1 star. Previous review: The model I purchased is the OLEVS Stainless Steel Quartz Movement model # 5009G with the blue face. I chose this watch because I have a 9" wrist and this particular model came with a 9.05" band and it fits perfectly! It opens just big enough to slip over my XXL hand the band is just loose enough to have the slightest shift back and forth when closed so it is quite comfortable to wear. The watch is truly beautiful, and light weight. I can't believe how low the price was! My eyesight is not the best so I don't need a fancy watch with three different dials on the face (truthfully I didn't really need the date on this watch since I can't read it without glasses) but I can glance down at the watch and tell the time, and that's all I need. The watch came with the band extended to its longest length, but a tool was included to adjust the band to a smaller size if needed. This manufacturer has many, beautiful watches to choose from! But be careful if band length is a special concern for you. Make certain when you select the color and design you want to scroll down to "Looking for specific info" and ask what the band length is. I found it can vary between the different watches shown on the order page you're viewing. Some watches will have a band length listed in millimeters and others in inches, so you may need to do some conversions. The watch looks very similar to a Citizen watch I've been wearing for at least 15 years (probably closer to 20). The Citizen had been eating $5 batteries every two months for years, and it still lost time like crazy. I finally decided enough was enough and started looking for a nice watch. This is for everyday, and formal wear.
