Advance Praise for The Art of the New Urbanism: "A lovely, inspirational book." "New Urbanists have long understood the power of art — it's their secret weapon." "There is finally a compilation of the full range of visualization approaches at a level of excellence that can only be described as art." "This book is a treasure trove!" "This beautiful book is a testament to the remarkable progress of New Urbanism as a critical reform movement." "Bottom line: The lessons in this book will make you a better designer, planner, and place maker." "This will make anyone who has an interest in the built environment say 'wow, wow, wow'." "...The Art of the New Urbanism is an inspiration. Planners should have this book with them, on charrette and in the office, for examples of the best new urbanist planning artwork. Just as other books may show street design options, building types, architectural styles, and public spaces, The Art of the New Urbanism will point the way on images. What kinds of illustrations will get the job done? The answers are in these pages."

The New Urbanism has dramatically transformed the way illustrations are used to advance the dialogue of community planning and place making. New Urbanists have revived and advanced techniques of visual communication that enable professionals, elected officials and citizens from all walks of life to engage in designing their neighborhoods and communities. While created as means to an end, these visualizations are often compelling artworks in their own right. The Art of the New Urbanism features the first-ever, comprehensive collection of New Urbanist artworks, with more than 200 selected works produced by more than 100 practitioners and firms. The collected works include plans, renderings of buildings, streetscapes and gathering places, studies of precedents, and photographs of built projects. This book includes seminal material from the early history of the movement that has inspired generations of community building professionals, as well as a wide variety of hand-drawn and digital works that represent methods used today. Through their commentaries on each work, designers share the place making principles visualized through their plans and renderings and how their work responded to the public process.
