He describes techniques planners can use to help residents create a common vision. Nelessen has successfully used these techniques — the Visual Preference Survey and Hands-on Model Building Workshop — in seminars and workshops for more than 25 years.\n\nVisions for a New American Dream outlines a seven-step planning and design process for creating three basic types of traditional small communities: hamlets, villages, and neighborhoods. Nelessen presents 10 design principles — ranging from humanism and ecological responsibility to open space design and community focus — to help planners and designers turn a community's common vision into reality.\n\nVisions for a New American Dream is extensively illustrated with photographs, diagrams, and maps. This is must reading for all planners, designers, public officals, and citizens who want to envision and direct the future of their communities.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1884829007\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.1884829007.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Nelessen, Anton\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
