Sustaining a City’s Culture and Character<\/a> <\/em>(American release, February 22, 2021, UK and European release, Spring 2021) focuses on how to understand the innate identity of an urban place. The book provides a catalog of techniques that emphasize \u201cbottom up,\u201d resident-based input. Such input includes local history, building forms, natural and open spaces, cultural assets and tradition, and related policy, planning, and regulatory examples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
