商品描述

A Guide to Planning for  Community Character adds a wealth of practical applications to the framework that Lane Kendig describes in his previous book, Community Character. The purpose of the earlier book is to give citizens and planners a systematic way of thinking about the attributes of their communities and a common language to use for planning and zoning in a consistent and reliable way. This follow-up volume addresses actual design in the three general classes of communities in Kendig's framework-urban, suburban, and rural.
 
The author's practical approaches enable designers to create communities "with the character that citizens actually want." Kendig also provides a guide for incorporating community character into a comprehensive plan. In addition, this book shows how to use community character in planning and zoning as a way of making communities more sustainable. All examples in the volume are designed to meet real-world challenges. They show how to design a community so that the desired character is actually achieved in the built result. The book also provides useful tools for analyzing or measuring relevant design features.
 
Together, the books provide a comprehensive treatment of community character, offering both a tested theory of planning based on visual and physical character and practical ways to plan and measure communities. The strength of this comprehensive approach is that it is ultimately less rigid and more adaptable than many recent "flexible" zoning codes.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

《社區特徵規劃指南》為Lane Kendig在其前著作《社區特徵》中所描述的框架增添了豐富的實用應用。前一本書的目的是為市民和規劃者提供一種系統化的思考方式,以便理解其社區的特徵,並使用共同的語言進行一致且可靠的規劃和分區。本書作為後續作品,針對Kendig框架中的三類社區——城市、郊區和農村,探討實際設計。

作者的實用方法使設計師能夠創造出「市民實際想要的特徵」的社區。Kendig還提供了一個將社區特徵納入綜合規劃的指南。此外,本書展示了如何在規劃和分區中使用社區特徵,以使社區更具可持續性。本書中的所有範例均旨在應對現實世界的挑戰,並展示如何設計一個社區,以便在建設結果中實際實現所期望的特徵。本書還提供了分析或測量相關設計特徵的有用工具。

這兩本書共同提供了對社區特徵的全面探討,提供了一種基於視覺和物理特徵的經過驗證的規劃理論,以及實用的社區規劃和測量方法。這種綜合方法的優勢在於,它最終比許多近期的「靈活」分區法規更不僵化且更具適應性。
