Increments of Neighborhood : A Compendium of Built Types for Walkable and Vibrant Communities

This book is a compendium of American building types and other elements, buildable in today's world, that serve walkable neighbourhoods - a resource that should prove indispensable to those interested in dense communities and cities.

Intended as a comprehensive resource, Increments of Neighborhood is a compendium of recent built work for urban neighbourhoods, encompassing the spectrum of building types financed/built by today''s American real estate industry - from single family and townhouses, through ''missing middle'' stacked housing, stick-built housing, large multi-family, and high-rise buildings. This publication is the only resource in the marketplace that tabulates market-rate products that fill America''s cities, as well as being a comparative resource that shows how these types can be deployed in a way befitting smart-growth using sustainable principles. The only resource of its type, Increments of Neighborhood will demystify the understanding of costs and type, contribute to the public realm for the non-architectural professional, and provide a breadth and range of significant new information for experienced architects who typically specialise in a particular segment of building products such as hospitals or single-family houses, information with which they are frequently unacquainted.
