“Although the live-work concept is now accepted among progressive urban design and planning professionals, the specifics that define the term, and its application, remain sketchy. This encyclopedic work is sure to change that, providing the critical information that is needed by architects, planners and citizens.” <p>-Peter Katz, Author, <i>The New Urbanism</i>, and Planning Director, Arlington County, Virginia</p> <p><i>Live-Work Planning and Design</i> is the only comprehensive guide to the design and planning of live-work spaces for architects, designers, and urban planners. Readers will learn from built examples of live-work, both new construction and renovation, in a variety of locations. Urban planners, developers, and economic development staff will learn how various municipalities have developed and incorporated live-work within building codes and city plans. The author, whose pioneering website, <b>www.live-work.com</b>, has been guiding practitioners and users of live-work since 1998, is the United States’ leading expert on the subject.</p>
