Query: Essential book for all hoping for smart development.

This book is an absolute must for anyone troubled by developments in suburban America in the past 30 or 40 years. The authors provide penetrating new insights on why sprawl is so profoundly unsatisfying and offer prescriptions for change. They buttress their case with concrete examples of good and bad development in America. Even when dealing with well-known phenomena, their descriptions always hit the nail on the head (to the complaint "There's never enough parking", they respond "If pizza were free, would there be enough pizza?") They address the public policy choices which have resulted in these undesireable outcomes, and suggest paths to better outcomes. An absolute must for anyone hoping for something better in our neighborhoods.
