    Andres Duany and Elizabeth Plater-Zybeck, Suburban Nation: The Rise of Sprawl and the Decline of the American Dream (Farrar, Straus, & Giroux, 2000; North Point Press 2001)
    This "lively lament about the failures of postwar planning" offers explanations of and antidotes for the modern malaise of suburban sprawl. By the husband-and-wife town-planning team and co-founders of the Congress for the New Urbanism (along with their project manager), the book is a manifesto of sorts for New Urbanists, or anyone interested in putting a stop to our automobile-based communities and returning to traditional planning principles.
