New Ideals In The Planning Of Cities, Towns And Villages (1919) - John Nolen - Bog

New Ideals in the Planning of Cities, Towns and Villages is a book written by John Nolen in 1919. The book is a comprehensive guide to urban planning, and it presents a new vision for the design and development of cities, towns, and villages. Nolen argues that the traditional approach to urban planning, which focused on the individual buildings and their functions, was insufficient to create livable and sustainable communities. Instead, he advocates for a holistic approach that takes into account the natural environment, the social and economic needs of the community, and the aesthetic qualities of the built environment.The book is divided into three parts. The first part provides an overview of the history of urban planning and the challenges facing cities in the early 20th century. The second part presents Nolen's vision for the ideal city, which includes a network of parks and green spaces, efficient transportation systems, and a mix of residential, commercial, and industrial uses. The third part of the book offers practical advice for implementing Nolen's ideas, including strategies for zoning, land use regulation, and community engagement.New Ideals in the Planning of Cities, Towns and Villages was a groundbreaking work in the field of urban planning, and it influenced the development of many American cities in the early 20th century. Nolen's ideas continue to be relevant today, as cities around the world grapple with issues such as urban sprawl, environmental degradation, and social inequality.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
