Great book.By Dustin BakerGreat reference book.11 of 12 people found the following review helpful. excellent reference guide that will help combat urban sprawlBy A CustomerCheers for Randall G. Arendt. et al. For years my government agency has been fighting a loosing battle in Florida with unmanaged and unfettered urban growth. It seemed as though nothing could stem the tide of urban sprawl until two things happened. One was an election of a more centralist government and the other was the introduction of "designing for conservation" into our policy making levels. This concept was brought into clear focus by Arendts book. The authors not only presented a practical and economically sound guide for growth that can benefit developers. but the reference can act as a mechanism to help preserve the environmental cohesiveness of any community. The policy makers in our community were so impressed with this book that fifteen (15) copies were purchased to be placed into the hands of influential politicians. developers and regulatory agencies.15 of 16 people found the following review helpful. this book is a blueprint for land development of the future.By William H HolzAs a land developer this book brought into focus the problems that haave been growing as more and more of the land in my area has been consumed. and we have less and less to develop. At first I thought it would be another environmental tirade against land development.but instead realised it was a very practical and economically sound guide for development that would benefit me and also help maintain the character of my community. Arendts concern is for the environment and the preservation of open spaces and connective corridors of space and natural habitat between differing parcels of land in a given area. His solutions achieve these goals. but of special interest to me as a developer is that his solutions also mean no loss of density. reduced costs and higher land values. Excellent illustrations. easy to understand and worth the price many times over.
