Drawing on interdisciplinary perspectives, the editors and contributors examine what happened to planned communities after their glory days had passed and they became vulnerable to pressures of growth, change, and even decline.\u003cbr\u003e Beginning with Robert Owen's industrial village in Scotland and concluding with Robert Davis's neotraditional resort haven in Florida, this book documents the effort to translate optimal design into sustaining a common life that works for changing circumstances and new generations of residents. Basing their approach on historical research \u003ci\u003eand\u003c\/i\u003e practical, on-the-ground considerations, the essayists argue that preservation efforts succeed best when they build upon foundational planning principles, address landscape, architecture, and social engineering together, and respect the spirit of place.\u003cbr\u003e Presenting twenty-three case studies located in six continents, each contributor considers how to preserve the spirit of the community and its key design elements, and the ways in which those elements can be adapted to contemporary circumstances and changing demographics. \u003ci\u003eIconic Planned Communities and the Challenge of Change\u003c\/i\u003e espouses strategies to achieve critical resilience and emphasizes the vital connection between heritage preservation, equitable sharing of the benefits of living in these carefully designed places, and sustainable development.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eCommunities\u003c\/b\u003e: Bat'ovany-PartizÁnske, CitÉ FrugÈs, Colonel Light Gardens, Den-en ChÔfu, Garbatella, Greenbelt, Hampstead Garden Suburb, Jardim AmÉrica, Letchworth Garden City, Menteng, New Lanark, PacaembÚ, Radburn, Riverside, RÖmerstadt, Sabaudia, Seaside, Soweto, Sunnyside Gardens, Tapiola, The Uplands, Welwyn Garden City, Wythenshawe.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eContributors: \u003c\/b\u003eArnold R.
