AN INVALUABLE RESOURCE. A designer couldn't begin a project without the input of the client or the tools to make informed decisions. Choosing a design program should be no different. DesignIntelligence provides the tools, evaluations, and insight, to make informed decisions about design programs in the Ninth Annual survey of America's Best Architecture & Design Schools - 2008. For nine years DesignIntelligence has surveyed organizations across the nation to determine which schools produce graduates meeting and exceeding the demands of professional practice. Hiring managers from the nation's top corporations, organizations, municipalities, and design firms evaluate recent new hire graduates for practice readiness in a range of disciplines and skills. * Which programs best prepare students for the rigors of professional practice? * How are design programs meeting emerging needs in the fields? * Who are the most admired design educators? * How do I know which programs are good value for the investment? * How do programs in my area measure up? * Where can my firm recruit top graduates? These questions and more are answered in the pages of the 2008 edition of America's Best Architecture & Design Schools. The only survey of its kind to evaluate programs based on the satisfaction of the profession, the historical survey of programs provides readers a glimpse of the standings for programs over recent years, and the new "Deans Survey" details the programs which design department heads feel are academic models. From Architecture and Landscape Architecture, to Interior Design and Industrial Design, America's Best Architecture and Design Schools 2008 provides students, parents, counselors and industry professionals with targeted and timely information, the tools for an evaluation of the nation's top performing schools and a benchmark for evaluating other programs.

Cities are growing at unprecedented rates. Most continue to sprawl into the countryside Some are only now adopting policies that attempt to control air pollution from vehicles, reduce water pollution from urban runoff, and repair fragmented urban ecosystems. Can good urban design and sound environmental design coincide at a neighborhood level to create healthy communities?

Absolutely, and the strategies presented by Cynthia Girling and Ronald Kellett in Skinny Streets and Green Neighborhoods illustrate how to weave together contemporary thinking in urban planning with open space planning and urban ecology. Drawing from eighteen case studies, these green neighborhoods are the best examples of how the natural environment can play integral roles in neighborhoods.

Green neighborhoods offer a mix of housing types in order to serve a broad cross-section of people with a finely-grained variety of land uses and services, all close to home. In ecologically sound communities, the urban landscape is a functioning part of the whole ecosystem. Wooded areas, meandering streams, wetlands, and open spaces are planned and engineered to clean the air and the water. Skinnier streets and practical pathways weave into a functional, economical network to provide a range of equally good transportation choices, from walking to mass transit, that move people efficiently and economically.

This book moves beyond identifying problems to demonstrate proven methods and models that solve multiple, complex problems in concert. With innovative ideas and practical advice, Skinny Streets and Green Neighborhoods is a guide for today's planners, architects, engineers, and developers to better neighborhoods and a more natural metropolis.
