Summary:

"Of all the elements of a neighborhood, the pattern of streets and their infrastucture is the most enduring. Given the 20th century's additions to the range of transportation means, a fresh look at the streets is warranted. This book contributes a new system of neighborhood design with a focus on contemporary street patterns"-- Provided by publisher.
