Publish date: 1999
Publisher: McGraw-Hill
Abstract: This book is about the Charter created by The Congress for the New Urbanism (CNU) in 1996, to challenge the late 20th Century convention of creating zoned towns and to replace them with a model of mixed use.

It is divided into 3 parts which in turn discuss the 3 scales of the town and city: The region, neighbourhood and the individual units. The essays are written by a variety of associated professionals, and offer a varied review of the New Urbanist approach.

Despite being about Britain the lessons and ideas are of more general relevance, and the rich methodology and academic rigour are worthy of note.

Abstract: South Australia has engrained traditions of systematic settelement and urban organisation often expressed through strongly designed plan-forms. In recent decades, policies with an explicit urban design emphasis have emerged as part of this tradition.

Author: Reeve, A
Publish date: March 1996
Journal: Urban Design International Vol 1(1)

Abstract: The paper examines the contention that town centre management represents a coordinated attempt to privatise the public space of contemporary British town centres. It is argued that this is because managers and local authorities are regarding town centres as identical to shopping centres, and that as a consequance similar management practices have been adopted. It concludes that these two sorts of space are fundamentally different and that town centres require a different management responses to maintain so
