"How does the design of a neighborhood affect its residents? In this engaging book, Sidney Brower shows how a neighborhood's design lays the groundwork for the social relationships that make it a community. Blending social science with personal interviews, Brower shares the lessons of planned communities from historic Riverside, Illinois, to archetypal Levittown, New York, and Disney's Celebration, Florida. Neighbors and Neighborhoods is an eye-opener for all who have wondered what makes our local neighborhoods tick. It demystifies the way planners, architects, developers, organizers, and citizens come together in crafting a community's physical elements, policies, programs, and processes. Readers will come away with new understandings of their roles in creating the communities they want."--Publisher's website.
