Chicago City Planning Consultant Doug Farr has written a great book, Sustainable Urbanism: Urban Design with Nature. Farr combines new urbanism with green development in a clear and logical manner. He believes that "sustainable urbanism" is more than designing new Leed certified green buildings. It also includes the creation of green sustainable neighborhoods, and includes plans for sustainable urban development. He combines the strategies and principles of new urbanism with environmental improvements very well. Farr explains the evolution of the design reform movement. He outlines strategies on how to lead and promote sustainable urbanism. Doug Farr did an outstanding on form based codes for our neighboring communities of Bloomington and Normal, Illinois, and in developing plans that enhanced the environment while creating new urban space. I strongly recommend this book.
