Critical Praise for
The Greener Aspects of the New Urbanism Video

"The Greener Aspects of New Urbanism makes an important contribution to our knowledge about how to create better neighborhoods. This new video offers a visual feast of exquisite places to live -- most of them quite affordable. It makes one feel that it's almost a crime NOT to design according to the common sense principles outlined on the tape."

--Judy Corbett, Executive Director, Local Government Commission, Sacramento, CA (and a Board member of the Congress of the New Urbanism)

"This video is an authoritative, comprehensive overview of a critically important topic, environmentally sound design of the human habitat. Arendt gives the issue a common sense, accessible format that is both efficient and entertaining. His personal take on real places and applied design principles gives new perspective on his landmark publication, with an added, New Urbanist twist. I learned a lot in a short amount of time."

--Prof. Emily Talen, Associate Professor of Urban and Regional Planning, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

"Arendt promotes environmental strategies for designing traditional neighborhoods, clearly defining concepts such as mixed-use, context-sensitive streetscapes, integrated greenspace, and affordable housing. alternatives. Replete with both good and bad examples, this video is essential for every community's and designer's planning and development toolkit."

--Lucy Rowland, Head, Science Collections and Research Facilities, University of GA Libraries, Athens.
