Exploring the evolution of urban planning in America, the book examines how New Urbanism embodies historical ideals dating back to the nineteenth century. Emily Talen identifies four distinct approaches to city-making—incrementalism, plan-making, planned communities, and regionalism—highlighting their connections, overlaps, and conflicts. Through this analysis, she reveals the recurring themes in the pursuit of better urban settlements, offering insights into the ongoing quest for effective city design.
