Craving Community: The New American Dream

From corner coffee shops to rural enclaves to the internet, Americans are doing whatever it takes to build community. This is the book that will bring them all together, showing them what they want, why they want it and how they can have it. Shattering a century of misunderstanding, CRAVING COMMUNITY shows well-intended planners and developers that while Americans may not be interested in "brownfield infill" or "charettes," they are ready to demand community. The first book to trace the roots of the reconnection revolution, CRAVING COMMUNITY shows this movement for what it is and why it is desperately needed in the 21st century. After you read it you may never feel the same about the place you live.
