Housing design quality: through policy, guidance and review.

Carmona, Matthew

Housing design quality: through policy, guidance and review. - London Spon Press 2001 - viii, 349p. ; ill. ; 25cm.

This book looks at the major planning issues of delivery and quality for new housing development. As pressure for new housing development increases, a widespread desire to improve the design of the resulting residential environment becomes even more apparent with increasing condemnation of the standard products of the volume of house builders. The book focuses on the planning systems role in this process and in particular on how the various policy instruments available to public authorities can be used in a positive manor to deliver high quality residential developments.
