Hi all,
Doug Kelbaugh spoke at the UI about 4 years ago - to a packed lecture room
in the University Classroom Center. He spoke about his work that focused
on pedestrian-friendly, human-scaled, public-transit-connected "new urban"
or "neo-traditional" communities. His earlier work countered the
omni-present automobile culture that affects all development in a negative
way. I haven't followed him recently - so am unfamiliar with the book
cited above by Kenton - nor have I really followed this thread closely,
but as my old roommate often says: "Its worth a phone call."
