xv, 379 pages : illustrations, maps ; 24 cm
The 'new community' movement of the 1960s and 1970s attempted a grand experiment in housing. It inspired the construction of innovative communities, designed to counter suburbia's cultural conformity, social isolation, ugliness, and environmental problems. This text examines the results of these experiments.
