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."

Convenient.
Size: 1 X Pack of 180
Bought this product so many times over. Keep them stocked for special occasions as well as casual BBQ with friends. I use them to take as a hostess gift at other BBQ's, because everyone can use them. They do not bend like the other brands. The tray with the snap-on lid makes it easy use then store away.

Necessary
Size: 1 X Pack of 180
Let me pre-empt this with I’m single and travel a ton, so dishes and silverware don’t suit my lifestyle (don’t judge me I’m here to help) so these can be used just as well as stainless or silver cutlery. Very durable. Beware that they may show up with the lid not in tact, causing a small or moderate amount of them to bridge the container. Still, very much worth it.

High Quality
Size: 1 X Pack of 180
I'm so happy with this purchase because this set is very high quality and sturdy. I also like the container it comes in because it's very convenient to set out on a table for guests. I don't quite understand why there are less knives than forks because if you use this for a get together, most people will take one of each, so then you're left with a lot of forks. But then that container comes in handy for storing them! :)
