Abstract
Th e compositional form of most planned communities defi nes their development struc-ture. Th ey became popular because of development problems that arose under traditional zoning and subdivision regulations, which did not originally include this concept. Th e zoning ordinance regulates land uses and lot sizes. Th e subdivision ordinance regulates street and block layouts and requires developers to provide public infrastructure such as streets, sewers, and other utilities. Th ere is a gap here. Neither ordinance gives designers or developers the fl exibility to design a planned community that includes common open space, resource protection, and better and varied design. Th is book shows how to design planned communities that overcome these problems. “Designing Planned Communities is a clear statement of the design issues that are critical to creating livable and well-designed planned communities. Professor Man-delker draws on his long experience with planned community and land use regula-tion to explain the meaning of good design for planned communities. He shows how design concepts for planned communities can be translated into effective de-sign guidance by local governments. Examples of design standards are provided from
