Sustainable Land Development Today - February 2008 - (Page 19) ™ What is Prefurbia™? This book is not another critique of sprawling American suburban lifestyles in auto-centric neighborhoods. It is not an analysis of missing cultural resources that could place suburbs on par with metropolitan cities; nor is it an attempt to social engineer through neighborhood design (however, good design can positively affect society). This is not another anti-sprawl book, nor is it a universal solution. Instead, this book acknowledges the needs and desires of the space-seeking home buying market (80% of the U.S. market) and offers exciting affordable-to-build neighborhood solutions that beautify and enhance suburban quality of life. It presents refreshing new design examples that result in distinguishable, warm, connected, spacious neighborhoods that actually reduce sprawl!
