URBAN VILLAGES and the Making of Communities edited by Peter Neal

Abstract

This book with its inviting, glossy, coffee-table-book appearance, depth in quality, and text that is richly integrated with exceptional graphics, boasts a foreword by HRH The Prince of Wales who initiated the Urban Villages Forum, a group of planning, architectural and property experts who investigates ideas on an urban village, an international vision of neighbourhood (USA)/ Quartier (France), within an urban environment and how it may offer clues for a new generation of urban planners.
