[4]. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1732673 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1668931 Once Americas capitalist dream town, Detroit is our countrys greatest urban failure, having fallen the longest and the farthest. But the citys worst crisis yet (and thats saying something) has managed to do the unthinkable: turn the end of days into a laboratory for the future. Urban planners, land speculators, neo-pastoral agriculturalists, and utopian environmentalists--all have been drawn to Detroits baroquely decaying, nothing-left-to-lose frontier. With an eye for both the darkly absurd and the radically new, Detroit-area native and Rolling Stone writer Mark Binelli has chronicled this convergence. Throughout the citys museum of neglect--its swaths of abandoned buildings, its miles of urban prairie--he tracks the signs of blight repurposed, from the school for pregnant teenagers to the killer ex-con turned street patroller, from the organic farming on empty lots to GMs wager on the Volt electric car and the mayors realignment plan (the most ambitious on record) to move residents of half-empty neighborhoods into a viable, new urban center. Sharp and impassioned, Detroit City Is the Place to Be is alive with the sense of possibility that comes when a city hits rock bottom. Beyond the usual portrait of crime, poverty, and ruin, we glimpse a future Detroit that is smaller, less segregated, greener, economically diverse, and better functioning--what might just be the first post-industrial city of our new century-- http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1537324 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1581465 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1703716 Inspiring interiors that have a personal, handcrafted feel.

And he has boiled it down to one key factor: walkability. The very idea of a modern metropolis evokes visions of bustling sidewalks, vital mass transit, and a vibrant, pedestrian-friendly urban core. But in the typical American city, the car is still king, and downtown is a place thats easy to drive to but often not worth arriving at. Making walkability happen is relatively easy and cheap; seeing exactly what needs to be done is the trick. In this essential new book, Speck reveals the invisible workings of the city, how simple decisions have cascading effects, and how we can all make the right choices for our communities. Bursting with sharp observations and real-world examples, giving key insight into what urban planners actually do and how places can and do change, Walkable City lays out a practical, necessary, and eminently achievable vision of how to make our normal American cities great again. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1703715 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1401800 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1668728 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1674356 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1697965 The Iconic Interior features 100 of the most important and influential interiors from around the world.
